GEORGIA COTTON
YIELD LOWEST
SINCE YEAR ’96
Georgia’s yield of cotton per ‘acre is
lowest since 1896; tout the total production
will be the smallest : Ince 1903; that the loss
it more than 150,000 bales, representing
$30.l)0t),000, has been incurred since Septem
ber I report, wore a lew of. the astounding
statements of the co-operative crop report
ing service established by union of state
department of agriculture, J. .1. Brown,
commissioner, and the United States bureau
of crop estimates, Leon M. Estabrook, chief.
Not only are these true and accurate fig
ures, as can be easily verified by reports
of many thousands of trustworthy and
trained observers maintained by this service
in every county in Georgia, but if these err
at all they are on the conservative side:

Not since the disastrous season of ".Hi,
when tlie outturn dropped as low as 122. has
the production per unit fallen as low as
this season. This has only occurred twice
in the last twenty-five years. A comparison
of the yields for the past three decades will
make this very apparent.

Terrible Decline in Early September
Measuring the drop cf cotton condition
for the past few months has been much
like checking the fall of a barometer when
a storm is brewing. Since July 20, tins
has been easily marked from week to week
and Utterly from day to day. On August
25 the average rate of full was about four
tenths per day. In our last report we par
tially anticipated and discounted this move
ment but the rate of fall diminished little
during the first weeks of September with
the unprecedented result we have today.
Georgia’s Condition Figure 49 Per Cent
May condition figure 81, June 72, July
97, August 55. This is greater than has
occurred in many years. Interpreted in
terms of final production it means that
during tho month we have lost a difference
between 1.679.000 bales and a present in
dication of 1,547 bales.
Thirty Million Loss
At the prevailing price of cotton, cotton
seed and linters. $30,000,000 will not cover
the damage. Besides the disastrous con
ditions so clearly shown in the condition
figures we must also consider the unusual
abandonment, which has run to almost four
times the standard of 1 per cent or twice
that since Ihe weevil reached the state some
five years ago. The official figure which
is placed at 3.5 per cent covers the cotton
area which has been given up entirely or
planted to other crops. The acreage which
was so discarded previous to June 25, was
considered in making our acreage estimate
of June 25. It was much greater than that
of the late season here mentioned. Indeed
that total cotton affea which has been elim
inated before harvest amounts to fully 8
per cent of the original planting. We em
phasize this point which looks small when
indicated on the percentage basis, it must
be remembered that 8 per cent of the Geor
gia cotton area is much more than 400,000
acres, a greater area than is planted by
each of six of the minor cotton states,
and almost equal to a fourth of the planting
of each of the states of Louisiana and North
Carolina.
This extraordinary and disastrous situa
tion is due principally to the ravages of
the boll weevil. For five years he lias been
working forward with occasional reverses
due to severe winters. The winter of 1918
was so mild that large numbers of the old
weevils survived. These became active
very early, the tremendous rains of June
and July exactly suited their multiplication.
Shortage of labor prevented gathering and
burning of fallen squares and the late sea
son has been such as to force migration to
new feeding grounds with the accumulative
result that nine-tenths of the state has
suffered terrific damage. Duly some sev
enteen cotton counties are uninfected as this
goes to press. Even though we should at
tempt to write the whole cotton story in head
lines, we would fail to convey an accurate
description of the damage this pest has
brought. Nor is the injury yet complete.
History repeating itself, the newly infected
counties will n;t have accurately cheeked up
their loss until the final gin report.
Auxiliary to weevil loss, and scarcely
second to him in destructiveness, has been
the adverse weather. The flooding rains
that came early in the season were followed
in August and September by severe drouth
and heat. The first wrought havoc on low
lands, promoted soft, tender growth where
cotton had escaped ahd was ideal for its
insect allies. The dry weather caught the
frail plants and stripped them of their up
per fruit and even their leaves.
Ordinary cotton trouble like rust, black
root, leaf worms and red spider, though as
bad as usual, have been forgotten in the
presence of the greater enemies. If a
painter were to take a map of Georgia and
attempt to geographically portray an ifitage
of our present cotton crop, he could scarce
ly paint the southern portion in too dark
colors. la the middle f newly infested belt
he could shade off to dispiriting gray and
even in the northern belt the hue would ba
dull and gloomy. Trie only region whol’e he
could use a hopeful hue would be In the
extreme northern limit where a favorabe ge
ographical position has still left a bright
prospect.
Picking has progressed very rapidly and
although the crop averaged a little late,
gathering will be completed earier than
usual tu two thirds of the Georgia counties.
This is because the plant has shed most of
the fruit on the upper half of the stalk
and the weevil has punctured the other
squares the plant was able to retain. There
fore as soon as the main or middle crop is
picked, tile harvest is over.
Details by districts nnd counties follow
with the condition figures in per cent of
normal placed immediately preceding the
count J’.
District 1 (Northwest)
I This section begun the season under the
| most favorable auspices, but has been un-
I usually afflicted, first by rains, second by
drought, third by weevil and fourth by red
spider. The weevil early gained a foothold
in Chattooga county and from there spread
in all directions, meeting the advances of the
main line from the southwest early in Au
gust. All of the counties are now infested
except Murray and Whitfield. As might be
expected Chattooga county has suffered
most from the weevil and its condition is
lowest. Whitfield and Dade are in good
condition. The district average 67, is 8
points lower than last month and the aban
donment in this district since July 1 is 2 3-10
per cent of cotton planted.
District 2 (North)
That portion of the state northeast of
Atlanta has been exceedingly fortunate this
season. Not only have the weather ex
tremes been felt less than in any other
■ part of the state but the weevil has just
■ gotten into the crop and will scarcely in
’ jure it this year. As noted previously, the
■ '.junties along the extreme northern limit of
■ the cotton belt have the best crops this
b year. No county will suffer disastrously.
»-The weevil is reported as far north as Jack
s, son county, but not doing much. District
„ doned four-tenths of 1 per cent.
a District 3 (North)
Conditions here were exactly similar to
the next district west. Only one. or two
II counties have the weevil and he cannot de
» stroy much this season. The weather has
been unfavorable, but the crop is well ad
vanced and will make sure money for the
>, farmers in spite of the comparatively light
yields. District average 68, against 78 last
| month. Abandonment practically nothing.
District 4 (West)
When we reach the middle western sec-
I tion we find appalling evidence of weevil in-
I festation. Not only has the condition fig-
I ure fallen 13 per cent, but the abandonment
1 has climbed up 2% per cent. Practically
’ no top crop ear. be made and the major
1 portion of stalks have nothing above the
’ middle. Condition borders on disaster id

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
Morse & Holmes: We can only reiterate
our advice to sell cotton on all strong spots.
Bache & Co.: We believe the producers
will have to continue to market his product
very slowly in order to maintain a level of
values around thosg which now exist.
entire district has been infected since Au
gust 1, and most of it before that time.
District 5 (Center)
The important central area which pre
viously made one-fourth of tlie cotton crop
of Georgia has followed exactly in the line
of previous predictions. Ten more points
must be checked up to the weevil with an
abandonment running to 6 per cent since
last report. Most of the cotton has been
picked in the lower edge of this territory
and will soon be out in tlie northern edge.
Private agencies and others uot familiar
with the system of weighting or allowing
the true impotence to each section and en
counter here the dificulty which always
makes their estimate unreliable. In other
words, this district with a decline of 10
points will affect the state average more
adversely than the southeastern section
would if it hgd a decline of 80 per cent. Dis
trict average 43.
District 6 (Eastern)
This portion of the state comprising the
counties between Richmond and Savannah,
ineludeing many of our leading cotton coun
ties has gone through the month in the best
shape of any infested district. While tlie
condition is disastrous in several of the
counties infested, the weevil reached tlie
others too late to get the middle crop. Dis
trict average 46, compared with 50 last
month. Abandonment about 4. Sea island
cotton in this district is almost non-existent
but there is a little long staple called Meade
which will make considerable cotton.
z District 7 (Southwest)
Thet damage in this corner of the state
was rather accurately checked last month.
This together with the field agents discount
reflected the probable yield quite accurately.
The decline has been about 4 points. The
figure now rests at 37. Early, Terrell and
Mitchell counties are making reasonable
crops. The others are at tlie third-way
notch. In working out the quantative esti
mate from these condition figures it must
be remembered that this section made a very
great increase in acreage this year and this
has not been entirely wiped out by abandon
ment. Since June 25 about 3 5-10 per cent
of the cotton acreage then standing has been
put in other crops or given up etirely.
District 8 (South)
The remarks covering the southwestern
section apply equally to tlie south central
section. The abandonment in this region
however, runs over 4 per cent nnd includes
about nine-tenths of the sea island cottqn
planted. Other cotton also took part in
this loss. Practically no counties but Worth
and Colquitt will make anything approaching
the usual crop. Both tlie weevil and the
weather must be blamed for this awful
situation.
District 9 (Southeast)
The southeastern district, while it grows
the smallest portion of our cotton crop, has
suffered many times worse than any other
section. We did full justice to this last
month. There is little additional to be said.
Tlie condition figure is only 32, the aban
damnent was 26 per cent since June 25, and
even larger before that time. The total pro
duction to be expected from the southeast is
practically nil.—Z. R. Pettet, Field Agent.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.—The sudden set
tyement of the railroad strike in England,
coupled with the effect of heavy and general
rains in the central and western portions of
the belt caused a stiff bulge in the cotton
market on the opening day. In the first
half of business prices rose 118 to 129
points.
Following the initial advance there were
reactions of about a dollar a bale but in
tlie morning reports of an improved spot
inquiry put prices to new high levels, where
the market stood 126 to 129 points over
Saturday’s close.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.—The price of
cotton bulged sharply today in response to
the sudden and great change for the better
in the English labor situation and the de
mand was further increased by the more en
couraging bulletins concerning President
Wilson. The steel strike situation In this
country appeared sufficiently good to cause
more or less buying and considerable demand
resulted from the heavy rains in the cen
tral and western portions of the belt. Much
depends now on whether or not spots will
folllow the rise in contracts.
JOHN F. CLARK k CO. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 6.—With the excep
tion of serious riots at Gary, Ind., news and
developments over Sunday were generally fa
vorable and even the iron and steel review
shows a bullish condition of the Industry de
spite tlie strike.
The bulletin on the condition of the pres
ident is much better.
Heavy general rains occurred over Sunday
over the central and western states. This
will delay harvesting and cause further dam
age to crops. The outloog is for continued
bad. rainy weather, colder in the northern
portion. Cold wave looks like shifting on
Arkansas, Tennenssee and the Carolinas.
Despite irritating strike news, reports on
general trade conditions continue unusually
strong. Statement by federal reserve board
says activities in alll lines of busines ex
ceeds that of any previous year.
An increased spot demand and exports are
suggested by developments and also a fuller
expression by the markets of the bullish
bureau report, which expression so far had
been delayed by outside conditions.
First trades here were at an advance of
80 to 120 points but as New York did not
open as high, straddle operations reduced the
gain 90 points which the market main
tained well into tlie second hour. The out
look is for increased activity and strength
in spots, larger exports is the basis for
strength in spots.
