of the cotton area slightly exceeding
per cent. Florida and Tennessee fail
by per cent. TO maintain their area,
and there is decrease of about 10 per
cent. in the cotton districts Of Virginia
and Missouri. The increase is 8 per
cent. in Texas, in Arkansas, 5 IN Lou
isiana, 3 in Alabama and respectively
in South Carolina and Mississippi and
in Georgia. The Department record
of the area in 1882 was l6, 276000 acres.
