Washington, March 20.?The bigtest
cotton crop ever produced in
he United States was grown in 1914.
Census bureau statistics, issued to

place the 1914 crop as a rec>rd,
with 16,102,143 bales of 500
Dounds each. That is 409,442 equivilent
500-pound bales, or 204,721,)00
pounds more than produced in
:he great crop of 1911.
In addition to the great produc:ion
of lint cotton a record quantity
)f linter cotton, which is extensively
tsed in the manufacture of military
explosives, was obtained. This cot:on,
delinted from the seeds at oil
mills, amounted to 395,732,000
pounds and brought the total 1914
erop to 16.893,604 equivalent 500pound
bales. or 8.446.S03.500

While the crop was a record one,
the only States to make new records
in production were Alabama. Louisiana
and Oklahoma. The other cotton
States all came close to their records.
Official Summary.
The 1914 cotton crop of the United
States aggregated 15,873,002 running
bales of lint, or 16.102,143
equivalent 500-pound bales, the census
bureau announced today. The
department of agriculture on December

500-pound bales in 1912, and 15,533,073
running bales, or 15,692,701
equivalent 500-pound bales in
1911, the three largest crops prior
to 1914. Included in the 1914 figures
are 121,451 bales which ginners
estimated would be turned out
after the March canvass.
Reund bales included numbered
57,61 S, compared with 99.962 in

Increased Production.
A feature of the crop was greatly
increased production in California
and Arizona, two States where the
cotton growing industry is in its infancy,
and where a superior quality
of the staple is raised.
California's production amounted
to 40,835 bales, or 24,917,500
pounds, while Arizona's was 7.142
bales, or 3,571,000 pounds.
Unofficial estimates place the value
of the crop, which this season has
been greatly reduced by the effect of
Unronean war. at S570.000.000
for lint. That is based on an average
price of 7.2 cents a pound to producers
and an estimate of 70 per cent,
as the quantity already sold with the
remainder selling at an average of
7.8 cents a pound. On the same
basis the value of the seed is estimated
at $134,000,000. These make
the estimated value of the 1914-15
crop to cotton farmers $704,000,000.

I'aid for <'argoes of Three Ships.
London, March 22.?The prize
court ordered paid today $600,000 on
American shipments of flour and
wheat detained when British vessels
captured the steamers Alfred Nobel,
Kim and Bjornstjerne Bjornson and
the Swedish steamer Fridland. So
far as known this is the first money
paid out by the prize court on American
foodstuffs seized.
The owners of the American steamer
Wilhelmina's cargo are becoming
discouraged over the prize court's delay
-in hearing the case. It now
seems likely that the case will come
up March 29, the date for which it
was tentatively set after a previous
postponement. A. G. Hays, attorney
for W. L. Green & Co., of St. Louis,
owners of the cargo, said tonight:
"The admiralty says it is expediting
the Wilhelmina case. Weeks ago .
we offered to stipulate the facts. Sir
Edward Grey, the British, foreign .secretary,
in his note of February 20,
said the case would be tried 'in due
' i '.w#. vj
course. . If this is due course, prize
r>rmrt nvnpoHnro ic hnnrnmhe. It is m
difficult to avoid suspecting that the
citse perhaps is being intentionally
delayed so that if the court ultimately
decides that the foodstuffs may
proceed to Germany they will have , '
rotted in the meantime. An American
would find it hard to choose between
indiscriminate destruction and . j
regulated capture." . ?
