CONDITION IS NOT
 AN INDEX ID CROP Cotton Figures Are Often
 Very Misleading UNCLE SAM'S WORK
Russian Experts Are Now in America Making Careful Study of Cotton Growing Methods-Report
 Last Tuesday
By c. E. STEWART

Washington. June 14.-fSpecial.)- ~ha hureau of statistics last Tuesday placed the condition of the cotton crop at 7S.e. This compares with S1S last syear and a 1o-year average of Sl.5. It was believed that the improvement since May 25 to the date to which the figures were compiled has been SUI hcient to bring the showing of the crop up to the 1o-year average and thus in- sure normal yield.
 = From thes standpoint of abstract mathematics such conclusions appear to be sound. Crop estimates made as soon as the plant is above the ground however, have many weak features. One Is that there is an assumption that subsequent seasons will be Identical and this theory of general condition figures is based upon an average or different localities which vary widely In different seasons. The two crops or IS97 and 1898 were almost identical in size-about 11.250,000 bales. The June condition of the crop of 1897, which was 11,216,o00 bales. was only S3.5, while the June condition of the crop of 1898 amounting to 11,256,oo0 bales was S9 The october condition of the crop of 1897 was 70. and that of 1898 754 At the beginning and end or the season the crop of 1897 was about per cent less than that of the year following, but the yield was practically the same.
 It is very doubtful whether early condition figures can give a fair idea of what the crop yield will be for this year or any year. It is a mat ter of some surprise that the conditions at this time are as good as the govern ment report indicates. because undoubt- edly planting was greatly delayed in many sections of the south by excess sIye rainfall.
 Deep Breaking of the Soil
 One of the cardinal tenets of the government agricultural demonstrators has been deep breaking of the soil. This year unfortunately this has been i'm possible. By the time the soil became dry enough to blow in most cotton raising sections this year 1t was also time to plant and in most cases past the usual planting time and there was no time left for deep blowing. The result was that in all probability most
  ma lity of breaking up the ground but by simply running single furrow and depositing the seed therein.
 Just what counteracting influences the government will suggest and just what their efficacy may be will not be determined until later.
 Pamphlets are being distributed with special reference to fertilization, call ing attention to what is known as in tercultural" methods the purpose being to offset the failure to make sufficient early applications of fertilizer by dis tributing 1t to the best advantage throughout the season
 Ten years ago the present cotton crop, 1t is safe to say would now be rlassed as a failure. Scientific farm ing, however, has without doubt brought the culture of cotton up to the point in the hands of those who have kept abreast of the governments S work. where it may reasonably be ex- pected with favorable conditions pre-

 Condition in Yazoo Delta
 It Is believed that only about 20 per cent of the Yazoo delta of the Mis- sissippi is uncertain. While the water has receded over the rest of the area much of the previously flooded land has been planted and with cotton up to good stands. Where the cotton is up In the old flooded districts 1t is grow ing rapidly and will probably repeat the experience of 1898 when that DOT ton of the cotton belt produced it's biggest crop.
 Russia Is starting a cotton belt of her own and has two experts now in this country looking up the methods Of the American government forward ing the industry. It Is said that the Russian investigators. after getting all the information they can from the agri- cultural department, will make a trip through the cotton belt and investigate Tor themselves the actual methods en- ployed in the fields in the raising of cotton. It is more than probable, how ever, that Russia will continue to buy cotton for some time to come and no one need sell his farm in anticipation Of there being no demand for the staple
