bales of cotton on hand in the 1953-
54 marketing year.
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

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.
