Tennessee more than offset gains
in Arkansas, South Carolina and
North Carolina.
The department said that in Tex

dry weather. Late-planted cotton in
these states was said to have been
severely stunted.
Weevil Damage Heavy
In Arkansas, weather during
August was very favorable and
production prospects rose $4,000
bales. In Mississippi, the month
was. generally favorable but heavy
weevil damage continued.
The department said abandon
ment Of cotton in cultivation on

the unfavorable 1e45 season. This
would leave Z, It's, 900 acres for
harvest compared with pre-wsr
peaks Of more than 10000, 900
acres.
The yield of lint cotton per acre
was estimated at PATS pounds, or
"a pounds below last year but "A

The condition of the crop on Sep
