In making the next report on cot
ton the United States Department Of
Agriculture will also report on the

ton by Senator Smith. adopted by
the Senate. The hope is to procure
more accurate statement OF the
anticipated production by showing the
extent Of the weevil and its ravages.
Complaints have reached members OF
Congress from Texas and other cot
n-growing sections, that the Gov
ernment's report on production this
year did not approximate the Wee
wills damage. thus tending 10 place
the estimates of production too high.
Senator Smith presented 10 the
Senate in connection with the resolu-
ton. a statement from British bust
ness men, who are reported as thor
oughly frightened over the danger
that the American cotton crop will
be below the world needs because Of
the boil weevil. and that the American
estimate of 1000, 600 bales for this
crop is too high.
Low Yield Expected.
The British express the opinion
that the maximum TO be expected IN
view of the insect is 100000 bales,
which. they say, would be disastrous
to British trade. The weevil has APP
peared in Northern Egypt from Bra
I'll despite the heroic methods TO de
bar il. and the British do not look up
on the situation with any degree OF
composure.
Senator Smith points out that the
United States government has pent
100000 in an effort TO control
the weevil but without success, and
that now the loss of about 100000
bales annually spells the weevil.
The worlds normal cotton consump
ton. Senator Smith continued. Is
about 100000 bales, and there Is
but a 2.000,0O0-bale carry-over this
