V 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 running bales of lint and 602,324 running bales of lint last year 15,553,073 running bales of lint and 556,276 running bales of linters in 1911.

The average gr»ss weight of bale for the crop, counting round as half bales and excluding linters, was 505.8 pounds, compared with 508.0 last year and 504.5 in 1911.
