HARVEST
ESTIMATE liked
Agriculture Department Be:
lieves 1910 Crop Will To-
tai 1,343,O00 Bales

WASHINGTON, Sept. D. Up -
Unusually favorable cotton-growing
weather in August caused the agri-
culture department to raise its esti-
mate of 1910 production to II, 772,O 900
bales today. This was an increase of
1,343,000 bales over the August 1
forecast.
The improvement in August, the
department said, was general over
the cotton belt and notable from Ala
bama to Texas, inclusive, although
in Louisiana the gain was less than
in adjoining states. The estimate
was increased approximately 700, 900
bales as a result of timely rains in
Texas and Oklahoma where drought
conditions prevailed on August 1.
Prospective yields in the Carolinas
as of September 1 were the largest
on record, the department said.
