COTTON CROP
VERY SHORT
Estimated That the Florida
Yield is Fully Is Per
Cent Off.

The Florida Quarterly Bulletin, is
sued by B. E. McLin, commissioner OF
agriculture, has just come from the
press for this quarter, and is full of
interesting facts and figures for those
in the state who are interested III
agriculture. The general summary OF
conditions as have been found to ex-
fist in the northern and western Sec
lions of the state are expressed as
follows:
Northern Division.
Although a larger acreage was
planted in cotton than last year the
unfavorable cold and dry spring that
followed planting served to cut down
the acreage by failing of the seed to
terminate, and dying out of the plant
from other causes. With the excep.
ton of few isolated localities the
whole district suffered severe losses
a portion of June was favorable:l
giving the crops a period of warm
weather followed by copious warm
rains which benefited the cotton apr
all other crops very greatly.
Not only cotton suffered from the
unfavorable weather conditions, but
all field and late vegetable crops; next
to the cotton the most important crop
to suffer damage was corn, which
has been reduced to prospective
yield of only about three-fourths of a
crop. The cotton crop in this divi
sion is at present in poor condition
compared to what it should be. The
most fouriShing crop grown in this
section is tobacco, which, under the
methods Of culture in use, is yield
ing a full crop of the finest quality
Western Division.
The same weather conditions existed
in this division as in the foregoing
one, or, if anything, perhaps the aver
age is a little worse. Cotton is in
worse shape and a little more back
ward; the corn crop is about the
same as in the northern division; al
the field crops are late and indicate
short yields. and the vegetable crops
were also damaged, some amounting
to a failure

state the scarcity of labor is a yer!
