EXPERTSFEAR|NC
OTTON CROP
Rain Causes Ruin, and Only
Fair Weather Will Bring Out
put Near Usual Mark.

Agricultural experts are agreed that
the fate Of Georgia's cotton will be de-
cided within the next ten days.
J. ]. Conner. newly appointed COM
missioner of agriculture, sees no hope
for a fair crop unless the weather clears
and stays clear for the next two weeks.
The cotton crop of Georgia depends
upon the weather for the next ten
days" he said. IF no rain falls dur
ing that time and the land dries out 50
that it can be plowed, Georgia should
have a fairly good crop. If rain falls
during the next ten DAYS even moder-
ately, the cotton crop of the state will
be practically ruined
Situation Is Desperate.
Il really think that the situation is
the most desperate we have seen in
Georgia in years To raise a fair crop
we must have ideal weather from now
until September Planting is five weeks
behind in some sections. and in many
counties no blowing has been done. If
it is rainy during the next ten days the
Georgia farmer will do we'll TO abaadon
cotton and turn to corn and hay
l.
ditions are shared by all experts who
have had a chance to travel over the
state and view the extraordinary condi-
lions.
Half Crop, Says Hudson.
7. G. Hudson, former commissioner
of agriculture and candidate for gov
ernor, said that he didn't think that
even with weather conditions ideal from
now on that Georgia could possibly
raise more than 80 per cent of the 1911
crop
r. ]. Meading a planter of Dublin,
said the same thing He thought the
crop in south Georgia would be cut IN
half and a great many farmers would
turn to other crops in desperation.
1t is said that farmers throughout the
state are in a panic Many of them are
entirely dependent upon cotton and arc
not familiar with other crops. In many
places hay and corn and other quick
crops Will go in instead of cotton.
Bankers, real estate men, cotton buy
ers and business men are taking de-
cidedly pessimistic view of the situa
ton The majority of them believe
that the cotton crop will be smaller
than any raised in Georgia in twenty
years Whether this is true or not, the
best experts maintain. will be decided
practically in the next ten days.
