total OF 9.96S,172 bales of cotton of
the growth of 1911 ginned prior to
November /, AS announced today by
the census bureau, the promised re-
cord breaking cotton crop of this sea
son Is fast being made ready for the
manufactures. At no time In the
history of the American cotton indus
try has so great a crop been ginned
to this time of the year.
The amount ginned to November l
exceeds by 1,77T0OO bales that gin
ned in 1908, the previous record. II
also is greater than the ginning to
November | of any year being about
100000 bales more than 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-
Vous years. Calculation of the years s
total crop, based on the ginning re-
ports, would, therefore, probably be
more accurate If figured on the No
vember IA reports of other years. In
previous record years about 70 per
ned to that date and "A rough esti-
mate OF this years crop might be
placed at a minimum OF $1,000, 900
bales. Commercial experts esti-
mates. however, range up to more
than 1900, 900 bales,
