Cotton Crop N state.

LottJn crop ~ STATE.
According to the official COTTON crop
report, North Carolina again has the
best condition forecasted Of any Of
the important producing states. This,
in addition to the absence Of the boil
weevil, which has invaded other cot,
ton states, gives us an unusually good
advantage. No adverse agencies have
occurred other than an abnormal
amount OF rainfall and subnormal
temperature during May, But even
this was not sufficient to greatly dam.
age the young plants. and the month
ended with favorable conditions,
The figures released by the North
Carolina Cooperative Crop Reporting
Service, give condition for May 25th
of So per cent OF full (normal cot
ton crop prospect as compared with 81
last year SO in 1917, and an so per
cent ten.year average The acreage
figures are not available until the
July 1st report, and so production es-
Inmates are not yet available. The
forecast for the United States Is 75.6
per cent for May 25th as compared
with 1913 last year. and 1872 per cent
for the ten.year average.
Reports from all cotton counties
show an average Of ass pounds Of fer
t'lizers used to the acre, with an est
mated cost of $3.50 per acre. The
amount being much the same as last
year. and the cost somewhat more.
The 1918 cotton crop for this State
shows an area of 1.601 900 acres pick
ed, yielding 26S pounds to the acre
which produced somewhat more thar
$4,000 bales. The entire cotton belt
picked last year 3600S0oO acres, yield
