SMALLEST YIELD IN YEARS.
The Cotton Crop May Fall Below the
Official Estimate.

Washington, Nov 1.-THE statistician
Of the Department of Agriculture III
report sent TO press today says that the
fact that the preliminary official esti-
mate of the cotton crops several times
has turned ont to be an underestimate
has been due in every instance to a
failure to keep pace with the rapid ex-
ransion Of the productive area. When,
therefore the very large crop of last
year made it manifest that the acreage
had increased beyond both official and al
most all commercial estimates, II was
determined to institute special and
very thorough investigation into the
entire crop situation this year The
productive area last year is found to
have been 25.000,000 acres and that for
the present year to be about 23,500,000
acres, with probability that the final
returns will show the present acreage
to have been below rather than above
the amount stated. The investigation
discloses one of the smallest average
yields per acre in many years and III
estimating the total crop at a maximum
Of 9,300,000 bales n substantial and most
ample allowance has been made for any
tendepcy to take a too pessimistic view
of the situation, the actual indications
at the present moment pointing to 81
crop Of less than 100000 bales. The
report further says:
I'm his capacity as cotton expert to
the United States Commission the sta
tistician has had the preparation of the
United States cotton exhibit for the
Paris exposition and his duties in thar
connection have afforded him additional
facilities for ascertaining the actual

dence that has come to him in that
capacity is in every way confrmatory

A FOOL FOR LUCK.

''You can bet it is always fool for

nose to the grindstone all his life.
Now, there was Jack Shane, of Tennes-
see, who drew $25, 1000 in lottery. Jack
didn't know enough to go in out of the
wet, but he had little money and he
bought a ticket that won, while / got
ten and didn't fetch cent. The Win
ming number was ~, and when I saw
Jack I asked him how he happened to
take that number. WE'LL he said, you
see, it was this way. had dream one
night and dreamt that the door of my
room opened all of sudden and big
number seven walked in. Then right
after it came other sevens, and more,
and more, till the room was chuck full
and l was about smothered under them.
Then I woke up and began thinking it
over. I knowed that one seven wasn't
the number to draw, nor II, nor 7,777,
for there was million of them, and no
lottery had that many numbers. But
figured awhile and at last made up my
mind that seven times seven was ~,
and AZ was the number, so I drawed
that one. That was all there was to it,
''NOW," continued the talker, "if that
isn't case of fool for luck, what the
dickens is it t?"-Washington Star.
