MORE BALES TURNED OUT UP TO
SEPT. I THAN EVER BEFORE.
Census Bureau Reports That 7s4,oo6

nishes 64e,694 of Them.

Washington.-The greatest quantity

prior to Sci. ! was reported by the
census bureau Monday, when it was
announced that 794,006 bales of the
growth of 1913 had been put out from
the ginneries throughout the South.
The heavy ginnings for the first period
are the result of an early maturing OF
the crop and an effort by farmers TO
beat the boil weevil, in the opinion of
census bureau officials.
All states reported an increase in
the ginning for the period over last
years totals for that time with the ex-
ception of Texas and North Carolina.
Last year to Sept 1 there had been
ginned ga per cent of the entire crop;
in 1911 the quantity was per cent.
This, compared with 730,935 bales
last year to Sept. 1, 771,297 bales in
1911 and 353,011 bales in 1910.

that of 1901 of 2,047.020 bales.
He says that the crop of Texas,
which is $4,000 bales over last year,
is the largest ever grown in that state,
but that the Texas increase has been
more than offset by a falling off in
other sections. the group of other

equivalent to an additional $4,000

Crowley Rice Crop viii Be Short.

Crow1ey-Rice harvesting is pro-
crossing rapidly ali over the parish.
There has been no rain in this section
for more than ten days and conditions
are ideal for harvesting and thrashlng.
A few pumping plants and deep wells
are operating to supply water for the
late Japan rice, but there is only
comparatively small part of the crop
being irrigated. The crop will fall
considerably short of the prediction
first given out, as both the yield and
acreage are short of expectations.
