"So far as our records go, the high est percentage of cotton ginned to October 18 was 46.3 per cent in the year 1916, when the crop was a small one. The smallest percentage ginned up to October 18 was 37.7 per cent in 1903. . "Our people in the department, who are qualified to judge of such matters, say that there can be no rea sonable doubt that this year's cotton crop is more large ginned to date than ever before. In the first place, the crop is a very small one and un der such conditions the percentage ginned to date would naturally be large. In the second place, the sea son has been unusually forward and reports from practically all sections of the cotton belt indicate that pick ing has been practically completed. In Texas both picking and ginning is much farther advanced than usual and about completed except in the northwest corner of the state. In North Carolina rapid progress in picking has been made. In Alabama picking is finished in most Southern and central sections, and is elsewhere well advanced, with ginning progress ing rapidly, in Mississippi picking and ginning have made rapid prog ress. In Alabama the cotton is all picked in some localities and throo fourths picked in other localities. In Oklahoma picking is reported as hav ing progressed rapidly." Notice.
