COTTON CROP SHORTER
THAN ANY YEAR SINCE 1903
Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama Produced Nearly Two
Thirds of Crop.

Washington, June 20.-Final statis-
ties of the 1915 cotton crop of the
United States issued by the census
bureau today places the production at
1,191 ,820 equivalent 500 pound bales.
This is the smallest report since 1909.
Every State shows decrease. Okla
homa has greatest decrease, the crop
being less than half the 1914 Inter
production, making new record.
The price Of the S80,780 bales gin
ned, excelled that of 1914, by $4,000.
The increase was due in part to the
high price fiber used extensively in
munitions.
Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama produced almost two thirds
of the total crop.
Ellis County, Texas, led the coun-
ties with 1887 bales. Boliver Coun-

From the Record:
Mrs. Davlin, Miss Camp, Mrs. David
Meyer and son Darrell, arrived from
Santa Anna, California, last evening,
much to the pleasure of a host OF
friends. Now for some house parties,
H. r. Claussen had a narrow escape
from a visit to the happy hunting
grounds" the past week. Last Thurs
day he purchased some horse medicine
and placed the bottle in his pocket to
take to the farm. In some manner
the medicine saturated his tobacco
plug. After ~'chawing" the stuff all
day he was taken violently i'll, and the
doctor was obliged to work over him
all of Thursday night. The poison in
the medicine burned his mouth and in
sides terribly, and he suffered untold
agony. He is doing fine at present
but Hank looks as if he had attended a
Chinese wedding.
