Largest Cotton Crop In History
This Years Production Will
Amount To 1000, 600 Bales
H Present Crop Conditions Continue AS They Have FOR
The First Lap Of the 1911 Season-4OO.OOO
Bales More Than In 1904.

AS shown by today's report of
conditions on May Is, cotton should
yield 1913 pounds per acre as COM
pared with the average of 1924
during the past ten years. Allow
ing for abandonment of three per
cent, the ten year average Of acre
age planted, which would bring the
estimated acreage down from 35,-
100000 acres to 34,000,000 acres.
This would give the unprecedented
crop as indicated
Conditions this year, to date, have
been unusually favorable. 1t was
pointed out that dry weather in
May had given the farmers good OPP
portunity for proper cultivation OF
the crop. The color of the cotton is
reported good. Although growth is
not far developed, it is said that
this is not a bad sign, and that rain
later on will bring it on rapidly on
account of its present excellent con-
dition.

Farmers Rating Association.

Atlanta, June 1.-The Southern
Farmers Rating Association, recent
w organized with B. N. Rushing, of
Atlanta, president, with the object
in view of giving the farmers of the
South definite commercial stand
ing just as men engaged in other
lines of business have, has already
placed a considerable amount OF
stock among the farmers of this
state, and is meeting with the hear
ty cooperation and support of all
who are interested in the agricul-
tural progress of thh South.
The association is capitalized at
$4,000, and its object is to do for
the farmers what Bradstreet and
Dun's have done for the rest of the
business world, thereby comforting
upon the farmer an independence
and an opportunity to deal directly
which he has never before attained
to.
The movement has its origin in
the general need felt in the business
world for more definite and system
atized information in regard to the
farmers. To obtain this information
in reliable form, especially in regard
to farmers removed from railroads,
is next to impossible.

Washington, June 2.-Present IN
dications point to this years cotton
crop as the largest the country has
ever produced, according to govern
ment experts.
Based on statistics of condition.
given out today by the crop report
ing board of the Agricultural De-
partment, and on averages for the
previous ten years, the crop will be
greater by about 100000 bales
than the average, and larger by
nearly 100000 bales than the biggest
crop the country has ever raised
since that of 1904. Providing that
conditions are as favorable as those
which have prevailed during the
past ten years, continue during this
season, there should be harvested
this year more than 14,OOO,OOO
bales, the previous maximum IN
1904 having been 13,5OO,OOO bales
and the average for the past ten
years 100000 bales.

The plan has already been tried
by the farmers of the northwest,
where they formed their own organ
ization and have obtained definite
business standing as class in the
business world which they could
have obtained in no other way.
The charter of the Southern or
ganiZation is based on a copyright
covering the thirteen southern states,
and will eventually embrace them
all practically, but Georgia is the
territory which will be made the
nucleus of the movement,
The company does not intend to
reach outside of Georgia the first
year, but will branch out into other
southern states as fast as possible
