COTTON PRODUCT
HELD OWN SINCE 1879
Marked Changes in Relative I'M
portance South, According TO
Analysis
NINE AREAS ON UPTURN
Three District in Cotton Area Not
Yet Visited By the Boil
Weevil

ST. OUIS, April 4.-There hav
been material changes in the rela-
tive Importance Of Southern states
as cotton producers, according 10 an
analysis by the Liberty Central Trust
Company, st. Louis, based on the
Census Bureaus final figures for the
1922 crop, recently made public.
The small total for last year is
due more than anything else to
greatly reduced yields in South
Carolina, Georgia and Ok ahoma,
where the boil weevil's activity was
at its height. Those three states pro
duced about - million bales less
cotton in 1922 than 1920. In most
states, last seasons results were quite
satisfactory.
There We're 795 counties which
grew cotton in sufficient quantity
to Justify separate returns by the
Census Bureau, In 421 the crop
was equal to, or greater than, the
average Tor the three years previous.
In 226, or about one third of the
total, last seasons yield was larger
than in any one of the years 1919,
1920 and 1921. In other words,
these 226 counties are tending to
increase their production, by great
er acreage, better growing methods,
or, in a few cases, better luck.
There are nine fairly well defined
areas in which cotton totals appear
to be on the upturn, as follows:
/. Northwestern Texas.
2. The lower Rio Grande valley,
Texas.
8. East Texas and southwest
Louisiana (scattered).
4. Southeast Missouri, northeast
