Summary. 1910
In publishing these returns it is thought
proper to state that we give ou' Just what is re-
ceived from business men living IN the immedl-
ate cotton growing sections of the south, From
the tenor of the reports it is apparent that lhe
southern states plant less cotton and in Its place
increase the acreage of corn, wheat and oats.
The tenor of the replies from North Carolina,
is that owing to the unfavorable weather, prep
arations for planting were not so forward as at
the same time last year; and like statement Is
true for all the Atlantic states. The indications
are that the total acreage OF corn, wheat ana
oats will be considerably increased, Owing to
financial straits and widespread belief mat
commercial fertilizers were not in all respects
successful last year, the farmers in the Atlantic
states are disposed TO cural their use, but before
the planting season is over it is not unlikely
that this tendency will not be strong. decrease
of IL to Is per cent in cotton acreage in the At
lantic states is probable. In the southwest a
like disposition is manifested to narrow the cot
ton acreage and enlarge cereal cultivation.
As shown by our dispatches from the south,
the situation has greatly improved since March
l6 We are 10th to conclude, as yet, that the
water in the flooded districts of the Mississippi
valley will not recede in time for n late planting
The acreage will undoubtedly be lessened by
the floods, but how much cannot now be tolu
The demoralizod condition of labor consequent
upon the confusion caused by the floods prom
ises to prove a serious obstacle to planting.
