COTTON CROP FAR
BELOW AVE RACE
Excessive Rains and the Cool
Weather Cut Prospects to
ga Per Cent.

That the Georgia cotton crop will be
far below that of last year is indicated
by the July report of the state depart
ment of agriculture made public today.
Commissioner Connor's figures show
cotton prospects In the state are but
81 per cent of those of 1911 Corn shows
but little better prospects. the estimate
of the corn crop being 10 per cent.
The estimate given on nay and forage
crops is IS per cent and on the potato
crop SO per cent
In discussing the present conditions,
Commissioner Conner says
In nearly every instance the reports
show that the cause of present condi-
tien and prospect of the cotton crop is
due to excessive rains, cool weather
and In a great many cases, wilt or
black root. Excessive rains ano cool
weather have also greatly affected the
corn crop. great number of reports
showed that bud worms are proving
very damaging to the corn crop"
