THINKS CROP IS
GOING TO BE SHORT
Bad Stand and Poor Conditon of
Growing Crop Induces Belief
That Output Will Be
Greatly Reduced.
I t There has been some slight
improvement ia the cotton stands
in Southern and Southwest Geor
gin, and I am informed, over the
state generally within the last ten
day or two weeks,” Commissioner
of Agriculture T. G. Hudson said
yesterday. “The stands are look¬
ing healthier and stronger when¬
ever I have been, but the improve¬
ment has by no means been suffi¬
cient to overcome any great part
of the damage early in the season.
Tin*y'eld is bound to suffer as a
result ot early bad weather what¬
ever fvorable conditions the i
crop miy experience for the rest
ot tne season. There was a large
amount of re-plau.ing necessitat¬
ed by tie April frosts, and in
many instances inferior seed had
to be used for lack of anything
else. Then many negro planters
did not replant at all where their
crops were only partially affected,
owing to the expense. These two
facts alone will make a material
difference in the final outcome,
aud I believe the Georgia crop
will be 200,000 bales >>r more be¬
low last year’s record.” The re¬
ports from all parts of the state
indicates that the cotton which
escaped the spring freezes is at
least two weeks late ; where re¬
planting was neccessary, it is four
weeks or more behind.
