Twelve Million Bales of Cotton.

Reports to the National Cotton Ginners
association up to May 20 show the AVERAGE
condition of cotton to be 80. g and the acreaue
8, 357 900, as compared With 100000
last year, or a reduction of 1.9 per cent. from
last year. The average stand is 80 per cent.
and the crop average thirteen days late.
Reports from the boil WeeviI district are
that the WeeviI IS beginning to appear but it is
too early to do much damage.
While the condition at this time is about
ten points higher than last year. this does not
indicate that the crop will be that much laruer.
With average weather from now on, it would
indicate crop of about IL, 100000, and with
bad conditions and the boil. Weevil workinu it
would mean no larger crop than last season.
