ESTIMATE is CHALLENGED.
President Mixson Says Crop Will
Hardly Exceed 9,324,373 Bales.


The government estimate of the
1919 cotton crop is sharply criticized
by r. NJ. Mxson, president of the
South Carolina Cotton association, in
a statement issued yesterday. The
production is estimated by Col. Mix
son at 9,324,373 bales. lie says that
he does not believe that there will be
100000 bales of spinnable cotton
marketed out Of the crop.
81 spent August, Septembcrl October
and November in the west in the in
terest of the American Cotton asso-
ciation," said Col. MiXson in his state
ment. 81 travelled all over Texas,
Louisiana, a large part of Alabama
and the cotton section of Florida. l
also went into Tennessee and Arkan-
sas. studied the cotton crop very
closely. Everywhere went the crop

oned acreage ever known in the his
tory Of cotton planting. Stock was
turned into hundreds of thousands OF
acres of Craze.
after thorough canvass and care
full study of the crop conditions made
an estimate of the probable crop OF
9,4S9,35O bales. You can imagine my
surprise when the government on De-
cember II published an estimate oi
II ,O30, 900 bales for the crop Of 1919
based on ginning figures of S,SS3'7l2
bales on December /.
Satisfied in Error.
"I am so we'll satisfied that the gov
ernment is in error in placing the
probable crop at 11,O3O,0OO bales that
I am going to challenge these figures
and let the thinking people draw their
own deductions.
,"For the past three years the GIN
nings to December 1 and the fina
Yields were as follows: In 1918 gin
ninSs to December / were 9,5o7,4l'
bales and the total crop was 1906

24S,242 bales, showing that nearly Il
per cent was ginned after December
/; in 1916 ginnings to December
were 10,S52,0S1 bales and the tota
crop 11,363,915 showing that about
per cent was ginned after December l
Never in the history Of cotton planting
has there been such large percentage
of the crop ginning up to December
as has been this year.
"The states of South Carolina, Gcor'
iga, Florida and Alabama have prac
tically finished gathering their crops
by that time. The states of Tcnnes'
see, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma
were nearer through picking than the,
had ever been before Missouri, Vir'
ginia, California and Arizona produced
but little and they had gathered the
larger part of their crop on Decem'
ber /. The south had less cotton tt

tory of the business.
