FIGURES SHOW CROP
LARGER THAN ESTIMATE.

Last week we printed some esti-
mates of the cotton crop for Cobb
county this year, and we made an
average from twenty Of these esti-
mates which placed the crop at 1860
bales.
The official ginning figures up to
December 18th have since come to
hand and we find that the crop will
probably be much larger than the
average estimate.
The number of bales ginned to
December 13 was 12,343, against
22,776 to same date last year.
When these offic. figures are con-
sidered it would not appear that a
crop of $4,000 bales is not impossible
this year, but of course it must be
remembered that the habit Of the
boil weevil is to destroy all Of the
late bolls,
