THE COUNTRY's
BIG COTTON CROP
Most Valuable 10 History Of
the Country.
CROP IS 1890, 900 BALES.
In Quantity Second Only To the
Record Crop OF Last Year.
Texas Grew the Greatest
Crop In It's History.

Washington.-The country's cotton
crop this year will amount to $751;
1886, 900 pounds of lint, exclusive of
linters, the Department of Agricul-
ture estimated in its annual report.
This is equivalent to 13,820,000 bales
of 500 pounds gross weight, and
makes the crop this year, in point OF
quantity, second only to the great
record crop Of 15,692,7o1 bales. exclu-
sive of linters, grown last year. 1t is
probable this years crop may rank as
the most valuable ever produced.
The quantity Of Inter cotton last
year amounted to 27S, 790, 900 pounds.
With this as basis, it is estimated
Wnoficially that Inter cotton produc-
ton this year will amount to 491,3o0
bales, or 235,03s,000 pounds, making
the entire crop, including linters, APP
,proximate 1881, 800 bales of 500
pounds, gross weight, or 6.847, 81, 900
pounds of lint,
With an average price of 121k cents
a pound, this quantity would be worth
about 1856, 100000. Approximating
the value of this years cotton seed
at $131, 100000, the average for the
past three years, the total value of
the cotton crop this year would be
about $685., 100000. Should the crop
yield this amount of money it would
rank as the most valuable cotton crop
ever produced.
The Department Of Agriculture's
official estimate of the crop last year,
made at a corresponding date, was
IA, 1856, 600 bales. The Census Bureaus
official report on production for the
year was 1882, 701 bales.
Texas this year grew the greatest
crop it ever produced; the depart
.ment's estimate placing the quantity
at 100000 bales. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi. Oklahoma and Missouri
all produced crops greater than the
average 1906-1910.

House by the passage, 153 to 118, OF a
resolution declaring that corrupt prac-
tees had been used In his election in
1910. At. the same time the House
refused, 181 to SO, to seat George

was enlivened by q bitter passage be.
tween Representatives A. Mitchell Pal

the charge that the influence of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western

1.-THE gentleman must not forget
the efforts which that corporation,
through its officials, made for him at
his solicitation" observed Mr.. Farr,
as he mentioned that Mr.. Palmer was

Pennsylvania
Mr.. Palmer replied that he was a
local counsel for the Lackawanna, but
declared that any statement that he
had ever solicited the aid of any cor.

was "wilful. deliberate and malic
ious falsehood." He demanded that
Farr either apologize or prove his
charge to the House.
The incident ended by Representa-

and Uncle Joe Cannon counselling
Representative Farr to "sit down"
