that this year this is decreased 10
twenty seven per cent.
Taking the subject as a whole,
it is estimated that in 1923 seven

Cotton ginnings in Sumter coun-
Y from cotton of the crop of 49,
% prior to September rs, were
7151 bales, according to an an
nouncement authorized this morn
ing by w. P. Persons, resident
agent of the census bureau in
Americas.
These figures compare with
1928 bales ginned to the same
date last year, or falling off Of
more than fifty per cent ip pro-
duction for the current crop. TAX
ing into consideration that larg-
er acreage was planted to cotton
here this year than during 1923,
the falling off in production is eg-
en- greater than the above figures
indicate, as anticipated receipts
should have been much larger than
those Of the preceding season.
Figures in both reports count
round as half bales, though there
are no round bales ginned here.
