WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The cotton
crop of the growing season Of 1911,
which early in the year gave lndlca-
tions that it would be one Of the larg-
est in the history of the industry, will
approximate 13,S6S,337 bales of 500
pounds or about 100000 bales more
than the record of 1904. This was in
dicated by the final condition report
of the department Of agriculture IS
sued today at noon, which showed
the crop to be III per cent. of nor
NAL on September 25.
While there were declines in the
condition in most States there was
- an Improvement of 2 per cent. in Tex
as and per cent. in North Carolina.
With an indicated yield Of 195
pounds to the acre, as unoficially es-
timated from today's condition figures,
and the planted area, the 1911 crop
undoubtedly will go down as the big
gest on record.
