The Post this morning printed its first
report OF tho probable cotton acreage
for the season OF 1851. II says ninety
nve counties including all the largest
cotton producers have been heard
from. A careful summary has been
made OF the reports received and put
into such form that estimates may be
easily made without the whole report
being read. The report indicates an
increase OF about II per cent over that
OF 1916 and about per cent over
1894, when 0.SSt, 821 acres were planted
In cotton IN Texas. II is as vet too
early 70 forecast with any degree OF a.
surahce the Yield OF the Drop, hut
simply AS a guide II may be stated
that the yield In 1894 was 3073. s2l bales.
The lateness In planting may initiate
against the production, and on tho
other hand favorable season may re-
suit IN even n larger crop than two
years ago. Tho report shows that new
land Is being broken ell over the state
and In very many Instances by new set
