YIELD OF
COTTON Is
REDUCED
Various Opinions Expressed Pro-
duCtiOn OfState Placed at 6OO,-
900 Bales Estimate Local
Receipts Is Percent Less

That the cotton yield of the state
and county will fall far below hst
year is generally conceded but opin-
ions vary as to the extent Of the fall
Ing off. A few opinions Of well post.
ed men are given belw:
Il. y Hutson, genera! manager Of
the lndiahoma Gins, said. In my judg
ment the production for the state will
be between 50 and 60 per cent Of last
years crop, or about 100000 bales.
In the territory Immediately AROUND
Chlckasha, the cotton is about as goou
as It is anywhere in the state and we
ought to get 75 per cent Of last years
local receipts. The acreage in this vi
cinity is much larger than, it was last
year. the increase being about 25 per
cent
Il have been over Grady county
pretty thoroughly" said Ben Hudgins.
"and from what have seen Of the
cotton crop. | believe that what we
are going to need is cotton pickers
Instead Of aioie cotton. That is, pick
ers to get the crop out in a reasonable
length Of time. There is going to be
more cotton that psckers,lI believe.
Around Laverty and in the sandy
country. the cotton in my opinion will

the tight land the crop will. Of course.
be short In some cases It win prob-
ably take five acres to produce a bale.
Some may require even more, but
believe very conservative estimate
for the county would be from quar-
ter to a third Of a bale per acre and
that is not bad crop"
Thomas Arnold, jr.. local cotton
man, said, From my conversation
with cotton men and from observation
! am forced to draw the conclusion
that the cotton crop in Oklahoma will
be about 50 per cent Of normal i
have seen good part Of the Grady
cohnty crop and whilc the plant looks
good and is Still fresh and green, the
squares cannot develop properly. ow-
ing TO the extreme drouth Around
Lawtou is the only place in this sec
tion where the plant is turning brown
and shedding leaves to any great ex-
tent but at that the whole crop will
no doubt be dlstressingly short.
p, S. Burney said, an my estima.
ton, cotton will produce about 200
pounds per acre on an average for
Grady county. or about an eighth OF
a bale per acre. This, ! think. is i
pretty fair estimate. The cotton IS
green and looks pretty good right now.
However. the squares are falling of
and some Of the bolls are going the
same route. The crop will no doubt
consist Of what cotton is now open or
nearly open. The remainder Of the
boIls and squares can absolutely not
mature That's about the present out
