THE YIELD OF COTTON.
Statistician of Department of Agricul
tIre RepOrls.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE statistl-
clan of the Department of Agriculture in
report sent to press to-day says that
the fact that the preliminary official es-
innate of the cotton crops several times
has turned out to bean underestimate
has been due in every instance TO a fail
ure to keep pace with the rapid expan-
sion OF the productive area. When. there
fore, the very large crop Of last year was
made, II was manifest that the
acreage mad increased beyond both
official and almost all commercial
estimates, II was determined to
institute a special and very thor
ough investigation into the entire crop
situation this year The productive area
last year is found to have been 5000 900
acres. and that for the present year to be
about 23.500,OOO acres. with a probability
that the final returns will show the pres
ent acreage TO have been below rather
than above the amount stated
The investigation discloses one Of the
smallest average yields per acre I'm many
years. and in estimating the total crop
at a maximum Of 100000 bales, a sub
stantial and most ample allowance has
been made for any tendency to take a
too pessmistc view OF the situation. the
actual indications at the present moment
pointing TO a crop Of less than 500, 900
bales.
The report further says:
in his capacity as cotton expert to the
United States Commission. the statistician
has had the preparation OF the United
States cotton exhibit for the Paris Expo
sition. and his duties in that connection
have afforded him additional facilities
for ascertainlng the actual condition OF
tho crop in every part OF the country.
The unimpeachable evidence that has
come TO him in that capacity is in every
way confrmatory OF the most unfavor-
able official reports
