With this report the Bureau of Cen
sus departed from its previous method
of reporting the cotton crop by not in
cluding tlie quantity of linters in the
total production. Director William J.
Harris announced this was done, because
with tlie installation of modern ma
chinery closer delinting of seed had
largely increased the quantity of linters
and at the same time lowered the aver
age quality of the fibre, so that now
only a small part, If any, was used as
a substitute for lint cotton.
The number of running bales of lint
cotton, counting round as half bales, was
13,964, and of linter cotton. 629,019 run
ning bales, compared with 13*488,539

and excluding linters, was 505.8 pounds,
