Lower CALIFORNIA; area. about o.
nm ,cres is included in the CALI
fornia figures. but being Mexican
territory is excluded from the United
States total.
The Department Of Agriculture to-
day issued the following statement:
"A reduction OF acreage of 2s.t
per cent from last years acreage
brings this years cotton acreage IN
the United States to 26,51s.ooO, which
is the smallest acreage reported
since 1900 There has never De-
fore been so great change from
one year to another.
although the condition OF the
crop changed slightly during June
il is still decidedly below average,
being lower than ever before
reported on June 25. The cause
of the low condition is. in general,
an adversely late wet spring. Usu-
ally a very low condition Of the
cron in one section of the belt is
offset by fair to good condition in
some other section. but this year
the conditions are low in all sec
tions. The presence Of boil weevil
in large numbers is noted.
Smallest Since 1895.
THE forecast of production, based
on present condition and acreage,
is S,433,000 bales. which is smaller
than any crop produced since 1885.
It is nearly 100000 bales smaller
than the production last year, and
nearly 100000 smaller than the
maximum production of 1914. Due
to the unfavorable seasonal con-
ditions Of April and May and to
the other discouraging factors of
shortage of fertilizer and unsatis-
factory price, abandonment of plant
ed cotton acreage has been greater
than usual east of the Mississippi
River. ranging from 5 per cent in
North Carolina and Mississippi to
as high as 10 per cent in Georgia.
In the States west Of the river aban-
donment has been slight, about 8
per cent in Arkansas and practically
nothing in Texas. This abandon
ment has been considered by the
crop reporting board and the acre
age figure reported by 1t represents
the cotton remaining in cultivation
on June 25.
The amount OF commercial fer
tilizer used per acre on cotton this
year. according to the reports reach
ing the bureau. is about 6s per cent
of the average amount used annu-
ally in the four years 1s17-1sz0.
Thus. all indications point to a
reduction in absolute quantity of
fertilizer purchased much greater
than the unprecedented reduction in
acreage of cotton. and this is con-
frmed by the figures quoted showing
lessened use per acre. This lack
is reflected in the relatively low
condition OF cotton. which Is al
most 10 per cent below the average
condition at this date. The quality
Is genera ly reported as lower than
In previous years"

SENATE MAY RAISE
POSTAL PRICES

Increased postal rates on first
class mail is being considered seri-
ously in the Senate to offset the pro
posed repeal of the excess profits
and other existing taxes.
Members of the Senate Finance
Committee, which will revise the
new tax bill when that measure is
sent to them from the House, said
yesterday that the Finance Commit
tee probably will increase the rate
on postal cards from / to cents
and on letters from 2 to cents.
The rate of 2 cents for postal
cards and cents for letters was
in force during the war and yielded
approximately s150.0o0,o00 addi-
tional revenue annually,

the weakness in the Minneapolis cash
