'UNPICKED COTTON
LOST IN STORM
Crop Specialist, Bureau Of
Statistics Reports 100000
Bales Destroyed.

Houston, Tex-A loss of 100000
bales in unpicked cotton was caused
by the tropical storm that swept the
gulf coast of Texas, according to a
report issued Saturday by F. N. Gray,
Texas cotton crop specialist Of the
bureau Of estimates.
Other great losses have occurred in
he condition of the crop since August
25 as a result Of insect ravages in the
southeast half of the state, the report
states. While the northwestern half
Of the cottOn-producing area Of the
state is said to have excellent crops,
he condition of the crop for the en-
ire state is estimated at SO per cent
normal. This forecasts total prOduc-
lion for the state of about 100000
oales of 500 pounds gross weight, not
including linters. Last year the pre-
1iction in Texas was 2,696,56l bales,
two years ago 3,125,379 bales, three
years ago 3,725,7OO bales, and four
years ago 3,22744S bales.
According to- Mr. Gray's report the
cotton crop in Northwest Texas is So
per cent normal with that in Colling'
worth County of that section being
100 per cent normal, Floyd 1Ol per
cent and other counties in that sec
lion ranging from SIS to sc per cent
normal. The crop in North Texas IS
| so per cent normal, in Northeast Tex
as So per cent, in West Central Tex
as Sc per cent, in Central Texas 81
per cent, in East Texas 20 per cent,
In South Texas 10 per cent and IN
Southeast Texas % per cent.
In Harris County the crop is II per
cent normal, while in Liberty it is 10
per cent. In Refugio County it is but
7 per cent normal and in Nueces Coun
tv but 10 per cent normal, the low ra'
tics in the latter counties being Que
to storm damage.
Nearly all the ills possible have be
fallen the farmers in those sections
where the crop is reported bad. Con
tinuous and excessive rains delayed
the paintings and caused frequent re
planting. Under the superabundanct
of moisture cultivation was delayed
resulting in grassy fields and leaving
the plant rank in growth, with heaV!
foliage excluding the sunshine ant
air.
In the last place all known insec
enemies of cotton have constantly In
creased in numbers and destructive
ness. Even in the northern countie
the crop has suffered severely fror
the second attack Of the worms an
weevils.

REMEDY FOUND FOR
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Council Of National Defense
Reports Findings of In
vestigation.
Washington.-After an investigation

Washington.-After an investigation
of the high cost of living problem, the
council of national defense finds:
THAT the nations productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized since
the armistiCe.
THAT too few goods, notably the
necessities of life, have been produced,
and that even some of these goods
have been withheld from the market.
"That the high cost of living is due
in part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit.
"That there has been and is consid-
cradle profiteering, Intentional and I'M
intentional"
The council believes that the rene
dies for the situation are:
ITO produce more goods and to pro-
duce them in proportion to the needs
of the people.
ITO stamp out profittering and stop
unnecessary boarding.
"To enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
laws as are necessary to prevent and
punish profiteering and needless
| boarding.
ITO bring about better cooperation
and method in distributing and mar
keting goods.
ITO keep both producer and con
sumner fully informed as to what goods
are needed and as to what supplies
are available, so that production may
anticipate the country's demands.
Better standards of living are i'm
possible without producing more
goods" said the councils announce
ment.
cat the wars end, we and our allie
had desperate need of the essential
of life. We have had to share on
resources with them, but this drail
will gradually lessen.

time. If production is rapidly increas
ing, vastly improved conditions vii
prevail in America when the results G
the present and future labor begin t
appear.
Teamwork is imperative. The mar
ufacturer, the farmer, the distributor
must each Immediately assume hi
part of the burden.
ION American business rests gray
responsibility for efficient co-oper'
ton in bringing about full and propo
tionate production. On American Ii
Dor rests an equally grave responsible
fly to attain maximum unit productio
and maintain uninterrupted distribr
