CROP TWO WEEKS AHEAD
APPARENTLY it is Maturing Much Earl
er Than Csual-Comparisons In
dcate a Crop Of From Fourteen to
Fifteen Million Ba;cs-Reports by
States IS Given.
With a total Of s.Hss,172 bales OF
cotton OF the growth Of 1911 ginned
prior to November I, as announced
By the census burea2. the promised
-eeord-breaking Gotten crop OF this
season Is fast being made ready for
the manufacturer. A; no time IN the
history Of the great American e'eton
Industry has SO great a crop been
sinned to this time O; the year.
The amount ginne3 to November
: exceeds by 1,777,9e0 bales the
smount ginned to this date in lsoS'
the previous record. 1t also is great
ar than the ginning to November IA
OF any other year, being about 2O0,-
900 bales more than was glnned TO
that date in 1904, tae record year.
This would indicate that the crop was
at least TWO weeks earlier in natur-
ing and reaching the gins than IN pre-
viou. years.
Calculations Of the years total
crop. based on the ginning reports,
would therefore, probably be more ac-
curate if figured on the November Il
reports Of other years. In previous
record years, about 70 per cent. has
been ginned to that date and a rough
estimate OF this years crop might be
placed at a minimum Of 14,Oo0,O0o
ba;es. Commercial experts estimates
however range up to more than To-
ooe,06S.
