Last year the value of the cotton
crop, seed and lint was $858,200. | ro"
In 1015 the crop brought only . sav
about $750,000,000. That was the oatl
crop planted in 1014. When It was red
picked the war broke out and cotton 1
fell to live cents. At once the acre- ^ !U

brought a thousand million before, | ^
except the crop of 1914; that is for paj,
the trade year ending on July, 1914, any
just before the war broke out. The P?r
yield was a little short of 15 mil- me<
Hon, or according to the census flfnree,
13,982.811 bales. It sold for
$1,026,700,000.

July jjl, J917. sells for nearly as orc
much as'the two preceding crops. It J
was a little over 11 million bales "u"
and Ifc sold for as much as 27 mil- ply
lion bales raised in 1916 and 1915. and
The price today in the market is
double thfe average price for the mo'
year closing last July. It is now 25 pre
cents against 11.92. The estimated sav
yield is between 11 and 12 million tabi
bales. It holds out a prospect of nnd
great results, but the crop is still t>ie
subject to weather conditions which (
may greatly reduce It and to mar- verket
changes which may lessen the
returns. ,ha
But it is reasonable to suppose sist
that the crop of 1917-18 will bring ada
to the planter at least 2,000 mil- you
lion, and it may bring 2.500 mil- *
lion. *,f>1
But let the farmer realize that It '),v
was an acreage of 37.000,000 and
a yield of 16 million which brought
cotton down to 7.33. It was by re- F
duclng the acreage to 31 million and be 1
the yield to 11 million, Joined to keti
vyr conditions, that changed the unl?
n%irket and advanced the price to be I
11.22. It was another 11 million he i
bale crop which boosted the price to jWe
over 17 cents. The present crop edy
will be the third crop of less than 12 and
