1919 Cotton Crop
Is 5th Short One
Reports Declare

Washington, July IA pamphlet
entitled Cotton Production in the
United States-19l9," will shortly be
issued by the bureau Of the census.
The revised figures of cotton gnned
from the crop of 1919 are 1l,324,54l
running bales, counting round as half
bales. The equivalent in 5O0-pound
bales, gross weight, is 11,419,797, and
in 500 pound bales, net weight, lo,-
923.512. This is the fifth successive
short crop, all of those from 1915 to
1919. inclusive, ranging between elev-
en- million and twelve million bales
Compared with the crop of 1918 all
of the states, with the exception OF
Arizona, Missouri, Oklahoma and
Texas show reduction, the great
est loss being for Georgia from 3
1880 bales to 1,67S,765 bales, a loss
of 439,1O2 bales. Florida showed the
largest proportional loss, dropping
from 34.951 baleS to 1877 bales
The loss in this state was due to de-
creased acreage and to the ravages
of the boil weevil. Oklahoma almost
doubled the production of 1913, in
creasing from 5S5, l40 bales to l,OOl,'
1877 bales Texas also showed an IN
