THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER
GEORGIA COTTON
CONDITION IS OFF
Agricultural Statistician Says
State’s Cron Lost 10 Points
During June
ATLANTA. July 3—Z. R. Pettit,
agricultural statistician of the Geor
gia crop reporting service, in a state- ;
ment issued today says the terrific
decline in condition of cotton over
shadowed all other indications of
the official crop report released
Monday. This decline is greater than
any that has occurred during the
month of June in the state, with the
possible exception of last year. The
major portion occurred during th?
period from May 25 to June 10.
This period was followed by ten I
days of considerable improvement
and this again by rapid deteriora
tion due to the weevils and weather.
This startling report of the Geor
gia Co-operative Crop Reporting
Service is based upon the returns of
several thousand crop reporters and
personal observation by the statis
tical staff during 3,000 miles of
travel.
The major portion of the state
made considerable increase in cotton
with the exception of the two nar
row belts in north Georgia, where a
decrease is probable. This applies to
the cotton standing on June 25th,
a considerable early abandonment
having been deducted. As the condi
tion figure indicates, a large portion
of the crop is in such a critical con
dition that the amount abandoned
after this date may be very large.
A brief summary of the cotton
situation indicates that in spite of
the tremendous handicap of the sea
son, Georgia farmers have answered
the call to produce a greater crop
Labor has been extremely short and
large numbers of women and chil
dren are aiding in the tremendous
battle against seasonal conditions.
This is one of the favorable factors,
as is the increased use of fertilizer
and calcium arsenate. The unfavora
ble factors are the lateness of the
crop, grassiness in the central area
weevil infestation 30 per cent great
er than last year and worse than
this state has ever seen. The daily
register in use in the Georgia office
shows the condition to be falling
from one-third to one-half a point
a day.
It is almost impossible to make a
quantitative forecast under these
circumstances, but the condition
figure of 56 indicates a yield of
about 103.6 pounds per acre wilh
a total production somewhat above
last year.
