POOREST SINCE 1866.

Washington, D. C.-The condition
of 49.5 per cent of normal for cotton,
reported by the department of agricul-
ture is the lowest for September Is
since the first report in 1866, except
the condition department statement
today For several states, the condl-
ton of September rs is the lowest Of
record-31 per cent for Georgia, 20
per cent for Florida, 81 per cent for
Mississippi and AZ per cent for Ten
nessee.
The deterioration in those states, !"
the department stated, has been due
largely to the damage done by the
boil weevil, though other causes have
contributed as follows: Excessive
rains beating out the lint and rotting
the bolls have occurred in some sec
tions. The leaf worm defoliating the
plant has been common in many areas.
Drought and its effects have contin-
ued in spots and damage from cut
worms, grasshoppers and hail is re-,

GEORGIA COTTON
CONDITION is 81
POOR YIELD IN SOUTH GEOR-
GIA. CROP BETTER THAN IN
1922 IN NORTH GEORGIA.

In many south Geirgia counties the
cotton crop is a failure, but in the
northern section an Improvement over
last year is noted, according to the
monthly report of the United States
bureau of agricultural economies.
Broadly speaking, it may be said
that the southern portion of the state
is making less than one-half the cot
ton it produced last year." the report
reads. That is all the more striking
because Of the material increase of
acreage in that section"
The size of the crop in north Geor-
gia, it is stated, depends upon the
damage of the boil Weevil to grown
bolls.
"The percentage of cotton acreage
which is a total failure is higher than
ever before" the report asserts. ct
is too early to indicate exactly the
percentage, but the state average
abandonment will probably run high
er than the previous record of six per
cent"
The government report as of Sep
TENDER rs gave the condition of the
Georgia cotton crop as 81 per cent of
normal and the estimated yield as
100000 bales for the year.
The following is the condition Of
the crop in southwest Georgia, known
