COVINGTON, GA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905.
CROP CONDITION i* *
REPORTED AT 72.1.
New Slump Shown by Govern¬
ment Fignres.
Washington, Sept. 5.—The
monthly cotton report of the de¬
partment of agricnlture, issued at
noon today, is as follows:
“The crop estimating buard of
the bureau of statistics of the de¬
partment of agriculture finds from
the report of correspondents and
agents of the bureau that the aver
age condition of cotton. August
25th, was 72.1, as compared with
74.9 on July 25th, 1905; 84.1 on
August 25th, 1904 ; 81.2 ou August
2nd, 1908, aud a ten year average
of 73.0.
24.634 BALES RECEIVED.
This is The Number of Bales
Raised in Newton County
Last Year.
The cotton season of 1904-05
closed on the 31st day of August.
From September 1st, 1904 to
September 1st, 1905, 13,566,000
bales of cotton was raised. Of this
number Newton county contribut¬
ed 24,684 bales, the largest ever
grown in one year.
These figures make the year a
record breaker. Never before have
the receipts in ono year reached
these figures and it will probably
be several years before it will ever
be reached again.
They go far beyond what was
anticipated by the cotton experts.
It was a great money crop.
Take Newton county for in¬
stance. She raised 24,634 bales of
cotton last year which is equiva
lent to 12,817,000 pounds $975,860
figuriug the crop at 8-eents, In
other words Newton count’s re
ceipts from one crop amounts ter
nearly a million dollars.
The farming class ot people in
this section are in better shape fi¬
nancially than since the civil war.
The bankers tell us that a majori¬
ty ot the farmers are carrying de¬
posits iu the banks. Farm lands
have advanced from six and eight
dollars per arce to fifteen, twenty
and some as high as thirty dollars
per acre within eight miles of Cov¬
ington.
This section was never in a more
prosperous condition than at pres
est.
