Memphis Tenn., May 2.—In a statement i issued by National Ginners’ Association it * is esti mated that the acreage planted to cotton in the Southern States on April 26 had been increased by seven tenths of one per cent, as compared with the same date as last year. In the Eastern States a small increase is reported, while the Valley States show a slight de crease because of the spread of the boll weevil. Texas shows a slight increase and Oklahoma about 10 per cent,—not as much as indicated in March in either State. This is explained by the scarcity of feedstufis, increasing the acreage in corn, oats and al lalfa. Reports to the association show that 64 per cent of the crop has been planted. The greater part of the plants which were up before the recent cold weather were (killed, except in central and southern Texas, and it is estimated that 14,000,000 acres will have to be replanted. With average weather a loss of 10 per cent in yield is predicted.
