Houston, Tex., Aug. 20.—Cotton acreag^ under cultivation in Texas is 10 per cent less 'than at the corre sponding period last year, according to F. N. Gray, state cotton crop spe cialist in the federal crop bureau at Houston. The total acreage- under cultivation in July was estimated at 10,756,004, compared with 11,960,000, planted acres last. year. Baaed on a condition 69 per cent of normal, it indicates a yield of 134 pounds of lint cotton per acre, Mr. Gray declared. "A total crop of -2,985,000 equiva lent 500 pound gross weight bales, allowing the usual 1 per cent for abadoned acreage," was Mr. Gray's prediction based on July reports. Last year's production was 2,700,304 bales. There would have been less reduc tion in acreage." Mr. Gray declares, "but for the limitation occasioned, by almost continuous' rains, very unusual in June. •While various reasons are ascribed for the reduction, the greatest cause was the enormous acreage, dou ble in area, planted to wintfer wheat last fall." Many cotton growers early last spring threatened to turn their atten tion to a large extent to other crops than cotton, unless they were assured of what they considered a fair price for their cotton. In this connection, Mr. Gray points out that while the estimated decrease in Texas was 10 per cent, the federal bureau of croD estimates reported last month that the total cotton acreage was 33,960,000, compared with 37, 207,000 planted last year, or a reduc tion for all cotton states of 8.7 per cent. It was on this estimate that a total crop of 10,986,000 bales was forecast. \£J%vnta "A cigar that is right at a frice that is right" Here's a cigar that solves your smoke troubles.
