COTTON FORECAST
IS FOR SHORT CROP
GOVERNMENT EPORT INDI-
GATES PRODUCTION 81 PER
CENT LESS THAN IN 1918.

A cotton crop about 100000
bales smaller than last year was the
forecast for this year by the depart
ment of agriculture in estimating
prospective production at 1926, 900
bales.
Acreage this year shows decrease
of 81 per cent. from last year, the
decrease being 3,247,000 acres, the
total being 33,96O,OOO. The agitation
for reduction in acreage, which the
department of agriculture says oc-
Cured in every cotton growing state !;
the scarcity and high price of labor
and unfavorable planting weather
caused the heavy decrease.
The propaganda for reduction of
acreage affected principally the larg-
er growers, according to the depart
ment, but most of the small proprie-
tors and tenant farmers maintained
or even increased their paintings this
year. Many other farmers who had
not grown cotton for years planted it
this season, hoping to receive the
high prices prevailing at planting
time.
Most sections report the crop late
and a scarcity of labor. Boil weevils
are reported very active in large
portion of the belt.
The acreage and condition on June
25, by states, follow:
Virginia, $4,000 acres and condi-
ton 80; North Carolina, 1,454,00O
and 80; South Carolina, 2,7O6,OOO

The total number of cars register
