NEW LAWS ON FORESTRY.

The fact that legislative leaders

Senate this winter shall have special
committees on forestry and logged
off lands indicates that a serious eff
fort will be made to meet the ques-

ment of Conservation and Develop
ment points out that with very little
cost, but intelligent effort, new for
ests can be grown on logged-of lands
and be ready for cutting by the time
the mills have cut the present stand

COTTON CROP SO PC.
LARGER THAN 1924
Yield of 11,065,OO0 Bales
Forecast by U. S.-Boll Vice.
vii Damage Heavy.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Prospects for
a larger cotton crop than last year were
seen in the first forecast of the season.
announced to-day by the Department OF
Agriculture. The yield. estimated on
the condition OF the crop June 25, was
forecast at 1l.os5.ooo bales. or SO per
cent. larger than the production of
7.95s,s41 bales last year. and compares
with 13.43s.6O3 bales IN 1920. 11.42o,76s
bales in 1919 and 12.o40.532 bales in
1918.
The total production. as forecast to-
Cay. was calculated on a condition Of
71.2 per cent. of a normal on June %
and an estimate OF about S4.s52,o0o
acres in cultivation on that date. The
area this year is 10 per cent greater
than the revised estimate of area in
cultivation q year ago, which was
31,678. 900 acres.
The condition on June 25 forecasts
a yield per acre OF about 1919 pounds.
compared with an acre yield of 124.5
pounds last year. The June 25 condi-
ton compared with a condition 69.6 per
cent. of normal on May 25 this year.
69.2 on June % last year and 76.9. the
average condition for the last ten years
on June 25.
THE increased acreage" said state
ment issued by the Department of Agri-
culture, 'is regarded by the Department
as a partial return to normal conditions,
resulting from better prices and low
stocks. Increases in acreage are shown
In all States except South Carolina and
Georgia. The big carryover of stocks
from last year has been cut in half and
surplus cotton has practically disap-
peared.
Improved condition Of the crop Is the
result of better weather conditions pre-
vailing in the Western States during the
last two weeks. In the Eastern States.
where there have been excessive rains, a
decrease in condition has occurred.
Boil weevils are reported more nu-
merous this year than ever before In
the history of the American cotton in
dustry. In the Southeast the damage is
already reported as. considerable. On
account of the lateness of the crop 1t is
difficult to estimate the exact damage"

some attention. Fourth Liberty 4Aa

several other issues came near doing
the same. Liberty 31as closed six cents

at 1oo54. Victory SRs were not traded
in yesterday. Foreign Governments
were little changed and were not af-
fected by the further fall in German

strength at different periods in the

what better than the average. The
