GEORGIA COTTON CROP
SHORT MILLION BALES
Commissioner Conner De-
cIareS Crop viii Not Exceed
100000 Bales This. Year

Replying to a letter of inquiry from
Texas, Agricultural Commissioners ]. j.
Conner Wednesday morning officially es-
timated that Gsorgia's cotton crop for
1912 would not exceed 100000 bales.
Last year this state raised and mar
keted 2S74,6OS bales. If the estimate OF
Commissioner Conner proves correct. this
years crop will fall behind 1,S74,6OS. His
figures are based upon the reports re-
ceived from the departments cores

and he believes them to be conserva-
tive. -
The protracted rains during the plant
ing season are said. to be primarily re-
sponsible for the short crop.
