In a statement reviewiVg the acreage and the condition of the crops the department of agriculture's bu3 reau of crop estimates said: 1 "Acreage: There has been a gen1 eral increase in the acreage planted to cotton over the entire belt. There ? is a decided increase in the northern * portion of the belt west of the Missis* sippi river and the States of Louisiana and Mississippi. These States, - long boll weevil strongholds, are ^ gradually recovering their acreage. - Several hundred thousand acres in South Texas will produce no cotton , this year on account of extreme 3 drought, which has lasted for more - thah six months. The heavy producing Mississippi river bottom lands 1 (both sides) has a heavy increase, partly accounted for by new lands r going into cultivation. Alabama and Florida ,are suffering from 'weevil panic' and there is not much increase in the acreage in the infested territory. In Georgia and the Carolinas ? there is a substantial increase. Cotton is the main money crop of the ' South. The staple and seed are 3 bringing high prices, and this has * encouraged farmers all over the cot1 ton belt to increase their acreage substantially over last year. Condition of Crop. "Condition: Chief complaints this * month are boll weevil and wet wreath* er. Weevils are numerous over much of the cotton area or Texas, touisi1 ana, Mississippi and Alabama, and - in a smaller area of Arkansas and d Georgia. In sections where there has - been too much rain in the weevil-infested area the prospect is for seri1 ous damage from this pest. In I. northwest Texas and western Oklai homa severe hail and windstorms s did local damage. The northern portion of the belt from Oklahoma to 1 North Carolina and many points in j the interior have had too much rain. . Some sections have had too much cool t weather. Outside of weevil damage s and a few lice there is little complaint of insect pests. Stands are better than usual, but in the Caro0 linas and Georgia there is much ir' regularity in the size of the plants because of dry weather in May. A s small quantity of fertilizers, general6 ly of a low grade, was used this year. Taking the belt as a whole the cotton crop will average at least two weeks late." n ! s ?Mrs. F. M. Mobly and Miss Emio ly Bessinger spent Sunday with relatives at Olar.?Barnwell Sentinel. CARD OF THANKS.
