THE COTTON CROP
The Critical Period Is at Hand-Largc
Crop Is Essential to the Prosperity OF
the South.

New Orleans Picayune July 27: Th
time is now at hand which is considered
the critical period in the history of tn
years cotton crop. There are, of course
spectators whose interest it is to max
every item of news unfavorable, with
view to influencing present prices, bu
the great majority of people interested
Ill the cotton trade, whether as produc
ers, bankers Or merchants, desire to Sc
cure accurate information as to the
prospects of the seasons yield. The le-
gltimate cotton interests desire a large
crop, in order to make good the deficit
created by the short crop of last year
and restore the manufacturing industry
to normal conditions. To the latter the
true facts, uncolored by ulterior mo-
tives, are desired and not the sensa-
tional reports intended primarily to in
Auence values for the time being.
The present growing season has had
a varied history. In the first place the
early spring was favorable to the plant
ing of large acreage and the proper
cultivation of the fields, but within the
past two months the central and eastern
portions of the belt have been afflicted
Dy a superabundance of rain, while the
western part of the belt has received in
sufficient moisture. Owing to the cold
weather during April and the early part
of May the crop was set back several
weeks, and this backwardness has not
yet been made up, so that the crop as a
whole is late, a fact which must be
taken into consideration in connection
with the supply during the first weeks
Of the season and the possibility of an
early frost.
Whether the crop has been as much
damaged by the excessive rains in the
central and eastern portions of the belt
as many would have the trade believe,
IS an open question. That there are
many complaints is certain, but whether
the ultimate yield will prove as disap-
pointing as is predicted remains to be
seen. AS far as the western belt is con-
cerned, it is more than probable that the |
ary weather has done but little damage. |
All accounts agree i'll predicting that
Texas and Oklahoma will produce a |
large yield of cotton, but to secure a
full or large crop good yield is esses-
tial in other portions of the belt |
the crop elsewhere than in the |
western belt will come up to require
nents is tn doubtful problem.
A large crop this season is essential
to the prosperity of the South. No mat
ter how high prices may be advanced |
by scant yield, the fact remains that a
short crop is always spotted crop and
nigh prices are no equivalent for abb
'ence of yield. A farmer who makes
little or no cotton, after having planted
1 full acreage, is but little benefited by
nigh prices. On the other hand, full
Yield gives employment to labor, pro-
luces freights for the railroads and in
'ures good returns to the producers,
while enabling spinners to secure their
-aw material at reasonable figures, even
.hough spectators suffer
