LITTLE DECREASE
in COTTON ACREAGE
GEORGIA is CREDITED WITH
DECREASE. BELT AVERAGE
LITTLE OVER 2 PER CENT.

Preliminary estimates from 2,10O
special correspondents of the New
York Journal of Commerce indicate
a decrease in cotton acreage of 2.5
per cent. as compared with year
ago.
These reports bear an average
date of April "a and in practically
all cases represent expected acreage
rather than actual. Final estimates
will be presented in the next month
ly report.
The propaganda for more grain
and food crops is chiefly responsible
for the decrease, but as against this
the high prices for cotton have in
duced a number of states to increase
acreage. Owing to the war and mi
grafton to better-earning centers,
scarcity of labor is generally com
planned of and is greatly feared,
especially as the season advances.
Preliminary estimate of acreage
compared with last year fertilizers
used and lateness of the season are
given in the following table of esti-
mates by states:
