The 1918 Cotton Crop Was Most Val.
liable Ever Produced.
Washington.-Final figures on the
census bureau. place it as the largest
the United States has ever grown.
with the exception of that Of 1911. At
the same time the estimate OF the to-
tai value Of the crop shows it was the
most valuable ever produced. it being
worth $1.043, 100000.
The quantity of cotton ginned from
the 1918 crop. counting round as half
bales and excluding linters. was 49,
9s2.s11 running bales. or 14.156.4S6
bales Of 500 lbs. gross weight. Cotton
seed produced was 6.SO5.O00 tons. OF
which 4.575,508 tons were crushed.
The value of the cotton is estimated
at 100000 and Of the seed $780,
100000.
An interesting feature Of the 1913
production was the crop OF the I'm
perial valley. in southern California.
where 22.83S bales were grown. 1t
has been reported the acreage planted
this year in the Imperial valley will
show a large increase. while the pro-
duction is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000 bales. Last years production
was more than double that Of any pre-
vious year there. where commercial
growing of cotton has been In progress
only few years. go
Another feature was the production
in Arizona, where 2.299 bales, were
ginned. the largest part Of which
possessed the same characteristics as
that grown in Egypt. The 1914 area
shows a large increase, variously esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000 acres.

Fall blowing for corn In central aud
eastern Nebraska is a practice that is
warmly recommended by the Nebras ka
College of Agriculture. Among the
points in favor of 1t are:
The fall furnishes a time when deep
blowing may be done early enough TO
allow the soil to become compacted by
planting time.
When blowing is done in the fall, a
longer time Is afforded for thu refuse
of the preceding crop to rot.
Late fall blowing helps to destroy
the small brown ant which Is u protect
or Of the root plant louise.
Time Is less pressing In the fall thar
oftentimes In the spring.
The structure of clay and other stiff
soils Is improved by weathering.
Fall blowing should be left rough In
order that 1t may collect moisture ant
hinder blowing.
