OF W. w. Dudley, Commissioner of
Pensions.

WAsHISGroN, Nov. u.
The secretary of the interior received the
report of W. W. Dudley, commissioner of
pensions, for the year ended June so. There
were at the close of the year 322 $50 pensiou-
ers as follows: 2lS,956 army iuvalids, T5,-
$50 army widows, minor children and depen-
dent relatives; PIG navy invalids, 1888 navy
widows, minor children and dependent rela
tVes; 3S9S survivors of tue war of 1912 and
1852 widows of those who served in that war.
There were added to the roll during the year
the names OF 81, 1872 new pensioners and the
names of 1921 whose pensions had been pre-
vlously dropped, were restored TO the roll,
making an aggregate of 35.4lS pensions add
ed during the year. The names of l6,3l5
were dropped from the roll, leaving a net
increase TO the number on the roll of l9,09S
The average annual value of each pension at
the close of the year was Sl06,75. Aggregate
annual value of all pensions, S34, ,456, 600, an
increase over the like value tor the previous

The amount paid for pensions during the
year was $50, ,90S, ,597, exceeding the annual
value of pensions several millions OF dollars,
which represents the first payments generally

sions.
The amount paid to 81 ,2o7 new pensioners
was S23, ,423, SIS, and there remained in the
hands of the several pension agents 7203

action of the claimants. Evidently they met

commissioner adds
Unless Legislation applicable TO them be

THE COTTON ROP.
The Hieii Below the Average Owing to
the Continued Drought.

WASHINGTON, Nov II.
The November returns of cotton to the
department of agriculture relate to the yield
per acre and show the effects of the long con
tinued drought in reducing the production
The lateness of killing frosts have affected
less than usual in enlarging the yield, as the
vitality of the plants was too nearly exhaust
ed to produce II top crop. The drought has
not been broken at some points on the Gulf
at the date of the returns
The indicated yield per acre is lower in
nearly every State than in the census year,
which was one of average production The
lowest Yields are now as then in Florida,
Georgia, Alabama and Texas. The reduction
is this year very marked in Louisiana and
Arkansas, a region of the most productive
cotton lands. The returns by States ind
cate the yield per acre as follows, the figures
being subject to modification by further
returns:
