A MILLION BALES FOR.
MISSISSIPPI.
Government Estimates Increased
Acreage But Lower Yield
Than Last Year.

A million bales is the Govern
ment's forecast of Mississippi's '23
cotton crop, according to the re.
port of D. A. McCandliss, federal
Agricultural Statistician in this
state. This forecast is based on an
estimated acreage of 1888, 900 a ,res
the condition of which on June 25.
was 81 per cent of a normal con-
dtion as compared with the ten-year
average of rs per cent at this date.
Mississippi's crop last season was
989, 900 bales.
The cotton acreage this year in
this state is estimated to be 277 900
more acres than was planted
last year. This is an increase of
8 per cent. No doubt the increase
in acreage would wave been greater
had it not been for adverse weather
at planting time, combined with a
shortage of labor.
The average yield per acre indi-
Gated by the present condition fig
ure is 1877 lbs. of lint per acre, as
compared with 157 lbs last season.
This years crop has suffered severe
injury because Of adverse weather
conditions, and hot, dry weather is
badly needed in most parts of the
state, Boil weevils are reported
from all parts of Mississippi
Government Report.
