COTTON REPORT QUESTIONED. ? ... - - Congress Will be Asked to Investigate Government Figures. r J Skottowe Wannamake, presik dent of the American Cotton associaI tion, said Friday that the association ? would ask for an investigation by congress of the government report on cotton issued Thiirsday. This action, he said, would be taken as a result of urgent'.requests received by the association, not only from the producers and business interests in the south, but from bther interests in the various sections,; including the cotton exchanges. The requests, he said, had come from Halm sections of the country. "The association has been urged from every section," said Mr. Wannaninker, "to take the necessary steps ? to iiave resolutions passed by congress providing for an investigation as to the indicated yield shown by' this report. The association is now' makin j h a painstaking investigation throughout the entire belt as a result of these complaints and will lay'the informatioh \?hich it obtains before congress. "Tb? government report issued Thurfctay gave the condition of cotton as 54.4. The condition nf the crop on th< same day Iaist year was given as 54l-. The indicated yield foi? this year, recording to the government report,) is 158 pounds lint cotton per acr..i Last year, when the condition was gven as being the same as this year, the indicated yield was given as oijy 18? pounds.v Why the dlffetfen^? Regardless of the fact that the rtx>rt shows seriops damage from ' Loll VMVil, bolj^ worms and insects, it gives!he indicated yield as being y great* than last year's. The governmat report appeared this timo in somethat changed form, the indicated vi?ld >eine given by states. The in dieate yield fbr South Carolina la given is 211 pounds per acre. We know cbsolubly that this is wrong. A canvass lade by our association shows this t<!be ah error. "A invass made by the association throuiout the belt shows, that cotton Opening prematurely, that the bolls ? undersized. The lint shows a maied decrease. * "In istice to the farmer, the nianufactur and the cohsumer, an investigatiorshould be authorized by congressWe do not charge that the departnit of agriculture would inten^ tiunal overestimate the yeild. We have jt, however, the slightest doubt but tit an overestimate has been roade^iad the correct indicated jHeld been ven, based upon the acreage fchowDy the department after doduct/ ing r abandonment of 1,570,000 acresleavlng total acreage of 32,390,000, t highest estimate possible under t existing conditions, with diseasedlant. ravaged by insects, pre} mat u opening, etc., the indicated yield mid* not have exceeded 9,775,000 l?s at the outside, exclusive of linteieven with a very late froct. "W. representatives through the lengtind breadth of this entire belt, we a in position to give first hand inifontion concerning the crop and base ,r statement upon actual facts. We sll use every effort in our power to ha this error corrected, and in the rantime we feel convinced that it thtepartment itself will make a recanss, it will detect the error indicat< and take necessary steps to corre the same. "Ware writing every member of congis from the south urging that tney isist upon this investigation, ami i call upon cotton producers all over le south to do likewise." * COLD WAVE COMING. SaycW. P. Houseal, Noted Dutch Weather Prophet. Th Dutch Prophet has made his annul winter weather forecast under date f October 3, from Columbia. Of gcneil interest and general displeasure bis prediction of a real cold vavt about the last week ir\ October anddenty of rain during the winter. He Iso says there will be four snows soul of the Blue Ridge. * M, Houseal's forecast is given in full jelow: annual forecast of temperature . and'precipitation is due to be made at tlis date. 1 have selected the last jweel in September for this special * foft^ast because the physical year begins during the last week in September. .Therefore, it is not an accident that we find one of the oldest peoples in ck'ilizod human activities observing liis period as the beginning of a r.ewryear. I refer to the Jews, who thus observe the feast of their new year jy direct command of Jehovah. It nay be that it is an accident ^ that other weather forecasters (the long distance kind, if you please) have ^ made the same discovery in reference to a peculiar relation of this period? September 22-29?to the weather which i8 to follow during the winter, and also by close observation around the winter solstice period one Van carry his forecasts further into the succeeding spring and summerPrecipitation will be abundant during the winter. It will include at least four snows of more than ordinary character which will prevail south and east of the Blue Ridge mountains and reach down at least to the 33rd parallel. An area of precipitation is due immediately upon the publication of this forecast, which is dated September 29. The latter part of October will see the beginning of the area of more abundant precipitation which will e\^ tend from the gulf to the lakes and from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. I made the forecast that the preeip| Ration for 1919 would bo approxL iinutely 70 inches in the South AtlantW ic states. It had reached 42 inches or more in Newberry county on September 1 and in the Edisto valley at least J ten inches additional. More is to come in November and December. Frost is due around October 16, (central date). It is not possible to say absolutely thatjt will be killing frost. New conditions confront the "Dutch Weather Prophet" in the peculiar relations which the earth now bears to the sun, and to which these forecasts have heretofore referred. A lack of cohesiveness exists between the various elements which form the earth's atmosphere as controlled by the radiation of the sun's rays. The ultra violet ray is an important element of the earth's atmosphere which was dis covered only about 15 years ago. Together with the influence of the moon, the ultra violet ray has pretty much all to do whether or not a killing frost will occur as early this year as October 1G. However, freezing temperature may be expected during fair week, October 25-31. . ' FEDERAL ..PROHIBITION House and Senate Reach Agreement ' as to Enforcement.
