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

This is a view of the top of
the Kemmerer Coal Company’s
Mine No. 5 a Kemmerer, Wyo.,
where 36 miners were kill
ed in an explosion. 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.”
