COTTON CROP IS NOW
10.1 PCI. PLANTED
Sixty Per Cent of Cotton Report
ed Up, With Stands Better
Than Last '.Year
ATLANTA, May 21.—A larger
pen entage of cotton has been plant
ed than was at this time last year
according to the Georgia Co-Opera
tive Crop Reporting service, 80.7
per cent of the entire acreage hav
ing been planted by May 15 as com
pared with 7G per cent at the same
date last year. About (JO per cent
ol the cotton was reported to be up.
Ihe stands are slightly better
than last year, it is stated’ but con
siderable replanting wil be necessary
on account of the recent cold weath
er damage, the reports show. As a
whole, the crop averages a week
late, but it is pointed out that the
cotton in the southern third of the
state is from three to four days ear-
C’ er han the average. The nonth-
I'stern section is the most back
»>ard, it is stated, and at least half
a dozen counties report damage from
frost during the recent cold wave.
The bureau declares half of the
correspondents report they have
personally found boll weevils in the
fields, it being pointed out that the
eastern section of the state is prob
ably worse infected than the oth
ers, with the southern and south
western running close second.
The bureau declares that, in spite
of the handicaps of weather, short
age of feed and lack of labor, the
present indications . are that there
will he a considerable increase in
the three southern districts.
Corn is reported slightly in ad
vance of last year, particularly in
the southern portion of the state.
The condition of the peach crop
i- reported considerably lower (han
last year but it is expected this will
be partially offset by the number
of young groves coming into bearing
so that the commercial shipment will
be only ’several hundred cars less
than last season.
The Fort Valley section will pro
duce approximately the same num
her of ears as last season, it is stat
ed, with a slight decrease expected
at Marshallville and a larger crop
antiippated from Griffin, (MonriJ.e
and Jones county. The northern
section of the state was badly af
fected by the freezes but will pro
due a larger crop than was first an
ticipated, it is stated.
