DISCOURACING IS
CROP PROSPECT.
Americas Firm has Estim tes
From States.
BELOW AvERAeELAsT SEASON
Seven States Reply to kilograms of
Council Parker s. Co. for Estimates
of Cotton Crop-About 80 Percent
Less Than Last Year.

If the opinions of the commissioners
of agriculture of the cotton states are
worthy of credence, and they certainly
are in position to observe conditions,
the cotton crop this year will be much
smaller than last season.
This information is conveyed in tel
egrams to Council, Parker & Co., of
Americus, in reply to query sent
through Commissioner o. B. Stevens
regarding crop conditions at this date.
This firm desired to know conditions
now-today; not what they were two
weeks or more ago.
At it's expense, Commissioner Ste
vens addressed telegram to the COM
missioner of agriculture of every cotton
growing state. Seven replies were re
ceived yesterday by Council, Parker &
Co., and shows great deterioration of
the entire crop.
The comparison now, with prospects
at this time last year, is expressed in
the kilograms published below, by
courtesy of the firm.
Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 8: Cotton
crop at this date is fully twenty per
cent below the estimate of the crop as
made at this date loot. 81 last year.
j. G.. LEE,
Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 3: Prospect
OF cotton crop as compared to this date
last year, twenty to twenty-five per
cent short. Fl. T. BRADFORD.
Jackson, Miss, Oct. 8: Can safely
say that prospects of the cotton crop
not so good as at this date last year.
J. r. MCDOWELL.
Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 3: Monthly
reports for September yet incomplete.
Eighty per cent, however, is not far
wrong. B. E. MoLN.
Raleigh, N. C. Got. 8; The cotton
crop prospect at this time is rs percent
of last years crop at same date. Final
result will depend very largely upon
the late seasons. S. L. PATTERSON.
Nashville, Tenn. Oct. 3: The crop
here is generally estimated 80 per cent
below last years crop at this date.
W. w. OGILvIE
Galveston, Texas Oct. 8: The cot
ton crop Of Texas will be at least 10
percent shorter than last year.
Only Alabama and South Carolina
failed to reply to the telegram of in
quiry sent by Mr.. Stevens. The con-
ditlon in Georgia is only two well
known. Thus, the condition of the
entire crop is brought up to date, and
given officially.
Conditions today are far below the
prospect at the beginning of October
last year, and point to very short
crop. With facts before them, farmers
can govern themselves accordingly.
