in many sections OF the South, and ON
Gals Of the Southern Cotton Growers
Association, as well as those Of the va.
rious branches of the Farmers Union
,roundly denounced the Agricultural Blu.

figures. For Instance. the National
Ginners' Associations crop estimate
has been as Icy as 10,66c,oo0 bales.
and the Southern Cation Growers AS
's9ciatlon's people have claimed H.

the commercial movement for the sea-
son. On the ether hand, those esti-
mating the crop for foreign spinners
-and important trade interests here,
have all along been clinging to the
estimates Of about $4,000, 900 bales,
which they put out after the killing
frost in October and November There
fore, this coming report of the Census
Bureau will be a very Important one.
The Agricultural Departments reports
have never vet oyerestlmated the total
Yield. It's estimates have usually un-
derestimated the yield anywhere from
500 900 to 100000 bales on an arerag
during the last ten years. and this fac.
makes many believe the crop may yet
turn out near Il 100000 bales.
