PAGE EIGHT GEOMTOfWB I.IMM BUIS Field Examinations Show Wee vils Mere Numerous—Con dition for State is .53 ATLANTA, Sept. 26—(By The Associated Press.)—A decline of five points was witnessed in the con dition of Georgia cotton for the pas* two weeks, the crop being 59 pet cefit of normal, according to the mid-month cotton report of the Georgia Cooperative Crop Report ing Service, of the United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics,- issued here Wednesday. This percentage, says the report, represents largely “a fuller realize tion by the correspondents of the damage caused by the Augus; j drought.” On August 25, 1923, the | condition of Georgia cotton was 42 per cent of normal, while on Sep-! tember 25th, of last year, the crop registered 31 per cent normal. Judging from the relation of the condition on August 25 and Sep- > tember 25 to final yields in 1923, i the condition of 59 per cent of nor- 1 mal indicates a yield per acre of ; about 152 pounds, and a total pro- ' duction of about 1,198,000 bales of 500 pounds gross, according to the report, which further says that the final out-turn will vary from ;,he above amount as conditions are bet ter or worse than average from September 16. when the last report, was issued, until harvest. “Field examination shows that weevils are becoming more numer ous and are puncturing a number of bolls in the Central and Southern areas that were apparently safe.” the report shows. “However, the etop is too far advanced for thorn’ to do damage at all comparable with , that of the past years, ami while quite a number of bolls are being lost in some localities, serious dam age by the pest is not expected over ] any considerable area. Weather and not weevils was the limiting factor this year, particularly in the north ern half of the state where droughty conditions induced excessive shed ding, produced smaller bolls than usual, and caused some premature opening. “While the crop is disappointing to many who were expecting a bump er yield several weeks ago, the crop still promises fair yields for the state, and production in practically all sections of the state will greatly exceed last year’s final out-turn. 'One of the noteworthy features of the season is the comparatively even distribution throughout the state of the crop produced. Last year the northern half of the state made a fair crop, while vast areas in South ern Georgia made almost a complete failure. “Two years ago Southern Geor gia made the cotton, while the north ern area suffered. This year we find the distribution much better, with both north and south Georgia producing a fair crop and consider ably more in most sections than was produced in either of the past two years. “A great many counties in South Georgia, the area where the crop was almost a failure last year, have made from two to five times as HATCHING EGGS WANTED DIAMOND POULTRY.

Twelve oth ers entombed at the bottom of the shaft were brought out alive by rescue parties. The cause of the blast has not been ascertain ed much cotton as they did last season. The same is true in north-central Georgia, Hancock, Morgan, and Green counties, where rhe weevil practically halted cotton production several years ago. “Until anout September 13th cot ton opened rapidly and conditions were ideal for picking. Since that date, rains have checked the rate of opening to some extent and delayed picking. In some sections, where labor supply was not entirely ade quate, the farmers were unable to get their fields pickked over before the rains, which will result in a lower grade for the staple in the fields at that time. “Complaints of storm damage are especially noticeable in several east ern and southeastern counties.” NEW ERA.
