Crop Of Cotton Will be
Smaller.

Washington, July In forecast
ing this years cotton crop at S,433,7
600 bales the department of agricul-
ture today placed this years acre
age at 26,519,OO0, a reduction of
2s.4 per cent, or 10,524,000 acres
from that in cultivation year ago,
and the smallest since 1900.
Production of cotton on this esti-
mate will be less than in any year
for more than quarter of cen
tury, the previous smaller crop hav-
ing been that of 1895 when the out
put was ,161,OOO bales. This years
crop promises to be nearly 5,00o,-
900 bales less than last years and
almost 100000 bales smaller than
the record crop grown in 1914.
The condition Of the crop was
poorer June 25 than on that date in
any year during the last 20. That is
attributed to an adversely late, wet
spring, the presence of the boil wee
vii and the use of one-third less fer
tilizer generally than the average for
the last four years. The condition OF
69.2 per cent of normal was an i'm
provement of 3.2 per cent, over May
25, but it was almost ten points be-.
low the ten year average for that
date. sig
There was considerable aband--.
onment of planted acreage, especial
ly east of the Mississippi river, which
the crop reporting board considered
in the compilation of it's acreage fig
ures. The, exact extent of this aband-
onment was not announced.
The poor condition of the crop is
indicated in the forecast of produc-
tion inasmuch as smaller acreages in
the years from 1895 to 1900, inclu-
sive, produced larger crops than that
forecast for this year. The acreage
yield is foremost at 1922 pounds per.
acre.
The preliminary estimate of acre
age and the condition on June 25 by
states follow:
Virginia, Acreage 1000, condition
70.
North Carolina, 1,1S6,OOo and 67.
South Carolina, 100000 and 65.
Georgia, 100000 and ga.
Florida, $4,000 and 70.
Alabama, 100000 and SO.
Mississippi, 2,325,OOO and 67.
Louisiana, 1,O11, 900 and "a.
Texas, 9,199,OOo and 72.
Arkansas, 2,13s,OOO and 7S.

WAGE REDUCTION
| BEING URGED IN
!. GREAT BRITAIN
London Papers Assert the
Cost of Living Has De-
CIined and That a Cut in
Pay Is Inevitable.

London, Jan. 3O.-I,abOr cOrre-
spondents of various London news
papers assert the cost of living has
declined in Great Britain and that
reduction of wages is inevitable.
They report decreases in wages
already have occurred in cases
where sliding scales of pay were
based on the selling prices of the
goods produced,
These wage cuts, however, are
mostly in trades which are poorly
organized. There is a good deal of
speculation among the labor writ
ers as to the attitude of workers
in highly organized trades when
they are called upon to accept a
lower wage, in accordance with
previously arranged plans based
upon the cost of living.
The ministry of labor figures on
the cost of living for working
class families show that at the end
of December the percentage was
169 higher than in 1914 against
the November figure of l76, while
for January it was expected to
reach 1866.
This, while alternating the lot
of the worker to some extent and
assisting employers, will not solve
the present acute unemployment
situation and many agreements
have been come to during the past
week or two whereby workers have
decided to go on short time or ac-
cept less money in order to avoid
a total closing down of works

TITLE IN STATE
BASKETBALL! IS
IN BAD TANGLE
Coach Moore Sees Little
Hope for Determining
State Champions Unless a
Tournament Is Held.
BY ADDISON MOORE
Coach Albuquerque High SchooI)

With the basketball season about
twO-thirds finished in the high
schools of the state one can gain
but little real dope as TO the reia-
tive merits of the different teams.
And the bothersome probability is
that things will not be any clearer
by the end of the season.
In the northern part OF the state
the Las Vegas high school would
have to play a third game with
Ration to determine the best team
in that section, as each has won
one game from the other Las
Vegas has defeated Santa Fe in the
only game scheduled between the
two teams for the year. The Las
Vegas Normal university has per
haps a stronger team than any
high school but cannot be classed
in this division as it carries a two
year college course.
Clovis Is Strong.
In the Pecos valley Clovis has
probably the strongest team, alt
though Fort Sumner would run
them a good race.
Alamogordo, which it is under
stood has defeated Las Cruces
which in turn won from DeminE
and Silver City has probably the
strongest team in the southern sec
ton. AS to their relative standing
in comparison to the rest Of the
state, one cannot say until the AL
buquerque high school takes its
trip through that section en- route
tn FL paSO next week
But here the trouble begins
Albuquerque has defeated Clovis
and Fort Sumner, and Santa Fe has
defeated Albuquerque twice
Though those who have seen al
the teams in action would say thai
both Clovis and Fort Sumner have
stronger teams than Santa Fe
Also, Santa Fe has lost a game t.
Las Vegas
The dope puts Ration and La
Vegas in the lead so far for state
championship, and if the Albuquer
que team breaks even or better or
their southern trip, this will in
crease the prestige of these two
schools. If Albuquerque SHOULD
lose, then who will be champion

their southern trip, and Las Vegas
and Santa Fe should play another
game, the dope would give the
winner of that game the state
championship. But as things stand
now, If we should get a state tour
nament the writer would back
neither one Of these schools but
would look for some other team,
say Fort Sumner, to come out on
top.
The local high school would be
glad to organize a state tournament
in Albuquerque, charge an admis-
sion to the games, and apply the
proceeds to the railroad fare of Wis
itinE schools, but just imagine
Clovis coming here again under
those conditions, They do not have
the money, Neither does any other
school in the state.
Albuquerque high school has
paid out s275 in guarantees to help
cover expenses of visiting teams
here this season. II Is safe to say
that other schools have paid out
at least an equal sum in order to
I'iu9 biNoN SAlllto III AaIs
Before Clovis, Las Vegas, Santa Fee
and Las Cruces could be brought
here for a state tournament, some
thing like $500 would have to be in
sight, as well as a good sum for
prizes and a trophy.
Need Tournament.
1t Is doubtful If ever in this state
one school had a clear title to the
championship of the state. No
school ever will have such a title
until state tournament Is held
that Is, state tournament. And
that In this state Is going to take
money.
If some public spirited mar
would back the thing, such tour
nament could be held in Albuquer
que better than anywhere else II
the state. but unless something like
that happens, 1t probably will no
be held.
One hopeful sign among thu
schools of the state is the increase
of craftsmanship in the games be
tween the different schools. Fol
example, one could not find bet
ter sports anywhere than the For
Sumner bunch. both winning OIL
losing. In the last two years the
writer has seen them under bott
conditions. Santa Fe high schoo
also shows a fine spirit and plays
clean game at all times.
There are a few schools in the
state, however, who can not under
stand what sportsmanship Is, and
can not play clean game. Albu.
querque high school ran into such
a bunch the other day at Santa Fe
Such schools should find 1t impos'
slble to schedule games.
