Selma Times: Although the cot
ton crop in central Alabama this
year is one of the smallest of
which there is any record, the
purchasing power of the crop in
the state as a whole will exceed
last year and even surpassed the
value of the bumper crop that
was produced in 1914. The gov
eminent reports show that in
1922 Alabama produced 823,498
bales and the prevailing average
price received for it is placed at
% cents, and estimating bales at
500 pounds each, this would
mean a total money income of
$90,5S4,780 The Bureau this
year has forecasted a crop of
741,000 bales for the state, and
accepting these figures as a ba-
Sis of calculation and fixing the
average selling price at % cents,
the money value Of the crop will
total $103, 100000 and show a
difference in favor of 1923 over
1922 of S13,155,200. The peak
crop of 1914 when the state pro
duced 1,731,751 bales and which
was marketed at an vaerage price
of s cents dropped considerably
below in money value the crop
that is predicted for this year. OF
course these calculations and es-
Inmates mean nothing to the far
mer whose production was this
year cut almost to the point of
disaster.
