CROP CONDITIONS IN g

tl
St. Matthews,1 June 26.?The fol- h
lowing report made by the American p
Cotton Association is probably the j a
most accurate report ever issued of e:
crop conditions not being in the form! li
of an estimate, as is the case with ^
the government reports, but being,
based oil actual facts and conditions. h

ersonal representatives, and with 1
le assistance of leading experts, it
as secured the most direct and corjct
information that is possible to
acure otherwise concerning the cot- !
>n crops. Through these sources, J
le association has completed its de tiled
condition report up to January
5, which is as follows:
Acreage Planted.
"Condition of cotton crop for the ,
ntire belt up to June 25, 69.3 per ,
ent. Abandonment of acreage ,
lanted 6.5 per cent. In our last re- ,
ort issued May 25, acreage planted .
l 1919 is shown as 30,216,097. The
bandonment of 6.5 per cent must be
educted, that is, 1,964,046 acres,
foich brings the total acreage in
Dtton planted in 1919 down to 28,- :
52,051 acres. ,
"The growing crop of cotton is
,vo to three weeks late throughout
le belt. As a result of excessive!
loisture the plant is diseased andj

made by landing experts throughout
the entire cotton belt. As a result
they report as follows:
"Boll weevil damage will exceed
all previous records and will cover a
far greater territory in the belt than
it was thought possible duing the
vpar. This is nrobablv due
to a mild winter, wet spring and Jate
start of the plant. The damage from
the boll weevil will reduce the cotton
crop to a far greater extent than in
any previous year. Ove ra large section
of the belt inroads of boll weevil
will bring about a crop disaster.
There is also considerable damage
from root lice and root roit."

EPEAL OF ZONE POSTAGE
RATES URGED BY MONDELL
Washington, July 1.?An attempt
push through congress legislation
r the repeal of the zone system of
iwspaper and magazine postage
.tes will be made soon after 4w
mrth of Julv holidAvs. Rennbiicam
jader Mondell said today.
The support of the Republican
aders to the repeal is indicated by
e fact that Mr. Mondell invoiced
the repealing bill and will par*
anally urge action on it before the
>use ways and means committee.
"With the return of the pro-war
wtage rates on first-class matter
day, we believe that the objectionale
zone system for second-class
fitter also should be discarded,'*
r. Mondell said.
