prior to November l. az announced
by the census bureau, the promised
record-breaking cotton crop OF this
season is fast being. made ready fol
the manufacturer. At no time in the
history of the great American cotton
industry has so great. 81 crop been
ginned to this time of. tho year.
The amount ginned to November
1 enceeds by 1,777,00o bales the
amount ginned to this date in 1908
the previous record. 1t also Is great
er than the ginning to November IL
OF any other year, being about ZOO
900 bales more than was ginned to
that date in 1904, the record year
This would indicate that the crop was
at least two weeks earlier in matur'
ing and reaching the gins than in pre-
vious years.
+ Calculations of the years tota
crop, based on the ginning reports
would therefore, probably be more &C
curate if figured on the November Ia
reports Of other years. In previous
record years, about 70 per cent. has
been ginned to that date and rough
estimate of this years crop might be
placed at minimum OF 14,OO0,OOC
bales. Commercial experts estimates
however range up to more than 49,
100000.
