CROP OF 100000 BALES.
This Is the Indication Of the Census
Fiaures Published Wednesday.


Washington, November S.-With a
total of 9,96S,172 bales Of cotton of the
growth of 1911 ginned prior to Novem-
ber l, as announced today by the CEN
sus bureau, the promised record
breaking cotton crop of this season is
fast being made ready for the manu-
facturer. At no time in the history OF
the American cotton industry has so
great a crop been ginned to this time
of the year.
The amount ginned to November l
exceeds by 1,777,000 bales the amount
ginned to this date in 1908, the previ-
Gus record. It is also greater than the
ginning to November II Of any other
year, being about 100000 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 maturing and reaching the
gins than in previous years.
Calculations Of the years total crop,
based on the ginning reports, would,
therefore, probably be more accurate
If figured on the November II reports
OF other years. In previous record
years, about 70 per cent has been
ginned to that date and a rough esti-
mate of this years crop might be
placed at a minimum of 100000
bales. Commercial experts estimates,
however, range up to 100000.
