DECEMBER 1 COTTON
REPORT FOR GEORGIA
In the last cotton report of the
1P26 season, issued today by the
Georgia Co-operative Crop Reporting
6ervice, the estimate of the State
cotton crop was placed at 1,475,000
bales. Final production last year was
1,164,000 bales and 1,004,000 bales
In 1924.
This has been an unusual season
over much of the State. In the ear
ly part of the season the crop, al
though later than last year, got off
to a fair start compared with usual,
except in northeastern and north
central Georgia, where unseasonable
temperatures and insufficient mois
ture retarded progress. During
June the cotton hopper made its ap
pearance over the northern half of
the state, practically stripping the
plants of all squares, and it was not
until late June and early August that
this pest disappeared. Extremely
late setting of fruit was the result
over this territory, but the plant
made splendid progress generally in
overcoming its lateness. Damage
from leaf worm threatened in Sept
ember, but proved to be negligible
except in scattered spots.
Most of northern Georgia made
much better yields than was thought
possible early in the saason. However
the final outturn of the late crop of
the northeastern section was lowered
by killing frosts in early September.
The southern part of the State
made fair to excellent yields, with no
damage from the cotton hopper ex
cept in scattered localities. Weevil
infestation was also light over most
of this area.
State ginnings to December 1 were
1,284,090 bales.
Estimated United States product
ion was 18,618,000 bales (500 pounds
gross weight) as compared with 16,-
104,000 bales last year and 13,628,-
000 bales in 1924.
Ginnings prior to December 1 were
14,644,966 bales, compared with 13,-
870,507 for 1925 and 12,237,659 in
1924.
Final ginnings for the season will
depend upon whether the various
factors affecting harvesting of that
portion of the crop still in the field
will be more or less favorable than
usual.
