This supply, which includes the city waits to tackle this problem in a big way the more it will cost 53. This was a good average figure, slightly more than the previous year’s but not a high record. r The mill consumption was three per cent above the 9.2 million figure of 1951-52. Mills in the two-Caro- linas used more than two million bales each last year, those in Georgia almost two million and those in Ala bama, more than a million. The carry-over last August 1 was five and a half million bales; 2.7 ^hcrsda^Jept^ber^MSSa Korean war. Of the total held by the CCC last August 1,. the 1952 crop accounted for 1,751,000 bales while 236,000 bales came from earlier crops, prin cipally 1951. The total was 1,987,000 bales. The figure August 1, 1950, was 3,540,000 bales while it was 3,819,000 bales a year earlier. Even those large figures, however, are only a little more than half of the CCC stocks near the end of World War II. The million bales more than a year ear- CCC stocks August 1, 1945* were 6,- lier and the largest since August 1, 1950. Also, the Commodity Credit Corporation has more cotton under government loan 4han at any time since that same date—early in the 947,000 bales and the total carry over was 11,164,000 bales.
