vantage This Gave.
Washington, April 2O.-The Census
Bureau to-day issued the final detailed
report on cotton ginning in the United
States for the crop of 1903. 1t shows
for the first time that the retaining
of cotton by thrashing unopened bolls,
whose vitality had been destroyed by
frosts or insects, affected a saving of
this inferior cotton this season in
Northern Texas, Indian Territory and
Oklahoma, estimated at 37,695 bales.
Computed on the basis of three lfths
of the average price of strict middling
the value added to the crop by cotton
obtained from these unopened bolls is
placed at $1,351, 1877.
Notwithstanding the destructive eff
fects of the boil weevil and boil worm
and early frosts, the Texas crop in
1908 shows a decrease of only 2G.9S2
bales. or a little over l per cent. as
compared with 1902.
Careful inquiry regarding the boil
weevil has developed the fact that this
insect is now in SO of the lis cotton
producing counties Of Texas and de-
stroYed cotton of the crop of 1903,
amounting to 139,S60 bales, which Is the
difference between an ample and a
short crop for the country. Including
the value of the seed, the loss is equiv
aent to S49,272.9S9.
A conservative estimate of the loss
resulting to Texas from the imperfect
weather conditions which affected that
section in common with the other cot
ton states is placed at 227;945 bales.
The proportion of the Texas crop to
the total crop increased from 23.5 per
cent in 1902 to PSI per cent. in 1903.
