COTTON GINNING FAR ADVANCED LARGE PROPORTION OF CROP ALREADY IN \ Figures Accompanied t?y Paragraph Giving Succession From D??narf. ment of Agriculture \ Washington, Oct. 25.?Cotton of this year's growth ginned prior to October 18 amounted to 5,477,397 bales exclusive o? iinters, compared with 5,754,582 bales last year and 4,929,104 'bales in 1919 to that date, the census bureau announced today. Round bales included numbered 99,371. compared with 140,099 last year; American-Egyptian included numbered 7,498 bales, compared with 14,312 last tyear, and sea island included numbered 1,204 bales compared with S34 last year. The ginning report included a paragraph stating: "The-department of agriculture on October 3, 1921, estimated that the condition of the cotton crop on September 25 was 42.2 per ?' .n of a nor mal, the lowest condition ever reported, which forecasts a total pro duction of about 6,537,000 bales o? , 500 pounds gross. Reports indicate that a large proportion of' the crop has been ginned." The heaviest ginning on record, prior to this year, was that of 1916 when 7,303,183 bales, or 64.3 per cent of the crop were ginned prior to October 18. The next largest ginning to that date was in 1918 when 6,811,351 bales, or 57.2 per cent' of the crop were ginned. Ginnings by states follow: Alabama 426,152; Arizona, 8,567; Arkansas, 449,484; California, 4,012; Florida, ^ 8,127; Georgia, 637,129; Louisiana, 195,115; Mississippi, 5^2,007; Mis^ souri,. 40,333; North Carolina, 444,964; Oklahoma, 347,146; Oklahoma, 347,146.; South Carolina, 494,261; Tennessee, 158,660; Texas, 1,740,766; Virginia, 7.505; all other states, 3.079. Concerning the cotton situation, Secretary Wallace of the department ! of agriculture, said today: "The cotton ginned to October 18, as shown by the ceiisus report, namely, 5,447,397 bales, running weight, is 83.8 per cent of the October 3 forecast of-total production by the de-noyfmerir nf airrimlture. which was 6,537,000 bales of 500 pounds weight. "So far as- our records go, the highest percentage of cotton ginned to October 18 was 46.3 per cent in the year 1916, when the crop1 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 reason able doubt that this year's cotton crop is more largely ginned to date than ever before. In the first place, the crop is a very small one and under such conditions the percentage ginned to date would naturally be large. In the second place-, the season has been unusually forward and reports from practically all sections of the cotton ' belt indicate that picking has been practically completed. In Texas both picking and ginning is much further advanced than usual and about completed except in the northwest corner of the state. In North Carolina rspid progress in picking has been made. In Alabama picking is finished in most southern and central sections and is elsewhere well advanced, with ginning progressing rapidly. In Mississippi picking and ginning have made rapid progress. In Arkansas the cotton is all picked in some local? itics and three-fourths picked in other localities. In Oklahoma picking is reported as having progressed rapidly." I it r nr-iiir. rrf r>)-> Off 2?Senator I V Y CLFliuiZ} wVi?j wv. ? ^ - j Harris (Democrat) of Georgia issued I a statement today commending Secre| tary Wallace and the director of the .cenms fyr their services in connection with the cotton ginning report. t;Those officials," the senator said, ''have saved the farmer and other people of the Sopth millions of dollars, hv the report today. Ordinarily tKe ginning report at this elate shows that about half the cotton crop in the South has been ginned. Those of us fin touch with conditions know that at least four-fifths of it has been ginned at this time.

Dear Sir? I had the pleasure of participating j j in the formal opening exorcises of the new schoolhouse at Moliohon mill in Newberry on the evening of Octo-! j ber 14th. v The completion of this; I building adds one more to the many ! new schoolhouses in our mill villages, j - i v? cfof O . l i, 15 uue UJ. cut; vci) ucsi. m j strictly modern in every detail. The ^four classrooms are standard in size, ! 1 light, ventilation and equipment, iI There is a room designed for library | and teachers' rcom. The toilets are ; i exactly right, located in each end of, j the building. The basement contains; ! an ample heating plant of the very latest improved type. There is also j a large rcom suitable for a kinder- > o garten, which is anticipated. . The second story is a beautiful au- i ditorium with a large stage, dressing : ; rooms, and many conveniences. i i ! There are three entrances to the: I i {building, one on the front and one on, jeach end, all of which are protected; i by substantial and artistic porticos, i j A wide hall runs the length of the; j building.. Leading into this is the j i hall from the front entrance. The | ; building is brick and with equipment' ! costs $30,000. It is not too strong itn sav that it i; a model. It was I planned and developed by Mr. E. S. Summer, superintendent of the mill,1 and he deserves great praise and; credit. Ke thought of everything and ; has it exactly right. I Mr. Geo. W. Summer, president, * i was the moving spirit and has a perfect right to be proud of the realization of his dream. The school is Iocp.tp^ in nnp rvf the most beautiful narks 1 in the state, with plenty of .space for! playgrounds. The equipment is elab- j orate and substantial. 'There are j larger and more costly schoolhouses : in the state, but none more beautiful | or more complete.
