COTTON CROPS
1872 VALUE
Federal Report Shows the South
Produced 14,313,Oi5 Bales.
Less Than 1911 Production.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The
Southern cotton planter should wor-
~. According to a bulletin soon to
be issued by Director Durand. Of the
Bureau of Census, Department Of
Commerce, the cotton crop for the
United States in 1912 amounted to
14.313,Ol5 bales of 500 pounds each,
and was worth the trifing sum Of
1920, $50, 900. ...
Although the crop last year was
1I-9 per cent less than that of the
previous year it was worth $50, $780,
900 more than it was in 1911. This
almost equals the banner year for
cotton, which was in 1910, when he
crop amounted TO but 1905, 6Ss bales,
2,307.327 bales less than it did this
year, but was worth 1868, 100000, the
most valuable crop ever raised IN
this country. While 1910 led in value,
1911 led in amount, the crop that
year being l6.250,276 bales.
The statistics show that the cot
ton crop for the past four years has
increased 80 per cent. When 1t IL
considered that, of the total area OF
the countries from which returns Of
cotton ginned were made, only about
one eleventh was devoted to the pro-
duction of cotton in 1911 and 1912, the
figures afford some idea Of the pos
sibilities of cotton production in the
United States.
