New Orleans. April 25.-Midwinter
weather conditions throughout the
greater portion of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi for the last twenty-four hours have
practically annihilated all hopes of cot
ton culture this year approaching any
thing like a crop of one-tenth the nor
nal production. Estimates made by
local cotton men place the money loss at
between $1.OOCOOO and Sl,50O,OOO. The
present weather is the coolest in the
memory of the oldest brokers.
Following the advice of chronological
experts from the United states Depart
ment of Agriculture. planters of the two
states had put in their crop thirty days
ahead Of the usual time. in order to COM
hat the boil weevil ravages this summer
That policy was the worst step the
cotton farmers could have taken. The
young plant just peeping above the
ground has been killed by the frost and
freeze that prevailed this morning, and
in a great many sections the ground Will
be frozen hard by tomorrow morning,
colder temperatures being predicted.
Early Planting DiS2StTous.
If the farmers had waited for the usual
planting season To arrive they would
have had the double advantage of es-
Gaping the freeze and conserving their
supply of planting seed
Cotton seed for planting purposes sold
to-day at Gilbert. La. for 500 ton.
Long staple seed sold for $50 a ton
here This was for speculation. and the
buyer expects to retail the seed out to
farmers at an enormous profit.
Cotton oil mill owners throughout
Louisiana and Mississippi are wiring
quotations tonight of from S150 to 500
a ton. Under these abnormal conditions
/, is unlikely that cotton cultivation will
be prosecuted this year. II is lost in
dust~y fer the time being.
Even should the farming interests in
vest in the seed quoted at present high
prices. the delay caused by replanting
would bring the maturing crop face to
face with the boil weevil.
There was already a marked scarcity
in cotton Sc ed, caused by the planters
last year pooling their interests and get
ting from $50 To SO ton.
Reports tonight from the larger plan
tation centres of Louisiana indicate that
the areas now devoted To cotton where
the seed is frozen will be converted into
either corn or sugar cane. This will
widen the sugar zone. with the result
that manufacturing interests are already
casting about To meet the changed CON
