100000 BALESIS
MISSISSIPPI COTTON
CROP ESTIMATE
Weather and Weevil Having
Unfavorable Effect.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has authorized D. A. Nc
Candliss, agricultural statistician in
Mississippi to make the following an
nouncement regarding the condition
of the cotton crop:
The condition figure for Mississip-
pi is "a per cent of normal, as compar-
ed with 72, the average on July 25
for the past ten years. This fore
casts a total production for the state
of 100000 bales of 500 pound gross
weight.
The condition of the crop for the
United States is 70.8 per cent of
normal, as compared with 1870 the
average on July 25 for the past ten
years. This indicates a total produc-
ton of about IL, 1,449,000 bales, of 500
pounds gross. The final out-turn may
be more or less, according to condi-
tions during the remainder of the
season.
The cotton situation in Mississippi
at this date is very critical, and tn
prospects are very uncertain. While
the figure on July % is IA per cent
of normal, the condition is getting
worse on account of adverse weather.
The crop at this time is being attack
ed by large numbers of weevils; hot,
dry weather during the next two or
three weeks will hold the weevils in
check enough to make a good crop in
most places, but continued rainy
weather will seriously reduce the
yield.
Both rains and weevil damage are
very spotted over the state, being
worse in the western portion.
