CROP OUTLOOK
Cotton Crop Summary.
Since August 26th, the weather
has been unfavorable in about 80
per cent of the cotton belt for a nor
mal and healthy development of the
cotton plant. Every State in the
belt has suffered from the lack of
moisture and excessive heat. In
most sections the drought has been
of so long a duration that the plant’s
vitality has been so reduced that in
256 counties, or 38 per cent, the
fruiting is lighter than normal, while
in 225 counties, or 33 per cent, the
plant has ceased fruiting altogether.
In about 77 per cent of the coun
ties a fair to good bottom crop has
been made, in 40 per cent the mid
dle crop is poor, while in 10 per
I cent no middle crop will be made.
In 83 per cent no top crop whatever
is expected.
Where ever the droughty condition
and hot weather prevailed excessive
shedding and premature opening is
reported. Picking is progressing in
all States.
The boll weevil damage continues
I light, but slightly heavier than last
; year. Os the 406 reported infested,
129 report serious damage. At this
| date last year 451 counties were in
, fested and damaging crops seriously
jin 100 counties.
The insect damage has been ex-
I tremely light so far this year, but
there are now serious complaints of
the army worm in Texas. This pest
has appeared in 46 counties in the
State and although considerable poi
soning is being done grave fears of
serious damage are expressed.
The percentage condition of the
crop as a whole is 52.3 per cent, as
compared with 59.1 per cent two
weeks ago, 57.0 per cent the same
late last year, and 52.8 per cent in
1923, and a ten year average of 57.2
per cent. The average deterioration
so rail States is 6.8 per cent, as com
pared with a ten year average de
terioration of 5.3 per cent. The
indicated yield per acre is 139.3
pounds, and this indicates a crop of
13,521,000 bales, based on the Gov
ernment’s par yields and acreage.
