Year 1921 Only One Since
1896 TO Result in Lower
Production.
DROUGHT BIG FACTOR
WITH ACREAGE SLASH
Will Result in Considerable In
road Into Surplus, U. S.
Officials Believe.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A cotton crop of s,le5 600 bales the
shortest since 1895, with the single
exception Of 1921, was predicted to-
day for 1884 by the Department of
Agriculture.
The probable crop is 1882 600 bales
less than last years and 5.4sO, 900
bales less than the average production
during the five-year period ls2S-lsS2.
The 1921 crop fell below 5000 600
bales
Condition of the crop ON August
was reported at 604 per cent OF nor
NAL. compared with 74.2 per cent a
year ago, and with a l0-year average
of 67.7 per cent.
Acre Yield Is Low.
The yield per acre was estimated at
1909 pounds. or about 9 pounds less
than the average during the years
1928 932. The indicated yield per acre
was above average in all major States
east of the Mississippi River. but below
in all major States west of 1T.
The indicated production for this
year will fall approximately 3,805 900
bales below the normal consumption
of l3 900 900 bales and cut materially
in the estimated carry-over of lO,-
836 900 bales on July 81.
The department attributed the un-
usual damage to drought asserting:
"Curtailment of the crop because of
drought was particularly severe in
Oklahoma. Texas. Western Arkansas
and parts of Louisiana. Should the
drought continue in these States, fur
ther decline in prospects will result.
On the other hand. should adequate
rains come, more than average inn
provement Is likely to result"
Conference Is Called.
With the appearance OF the report,
Secretary Wallace called a conference
OF Farm Administration officials to
discuss the figures shown and possible
effects on cotton acreage reduction.
The Secretary declined to comment
on the report, but some expression
was expected at his weekly press con-
ference this afternoon
The report showed 27.371,0oo acres
in cultivation on August /. This is
87 per cent less than the acreage
harvested last year and 32.5 per cent
below the l928-32 average.
The Crop Reporting Board declared
it had made allowance in its estimate
for probable loss due to boil weevil
damage. Reports indicate that the
dry hot weather OF late June and
July has greatly reduced the prob
ability of material weevil damage this
season." the board declared.
The condition of the crop August
and the indicated production in 500
pound gross-weight bales. as reported
by the department, follow:
