In announcing the condition report
and production estimate, the crop re
porting board made this statenent:
"The cotton crop condition declined
8.4 points during the month August 25
to September 25, which compared with
an average decline in the same period
in the past ten years of 4.5 points. The
est.imitted condition of 60.8 per cent of
normal on September 25 forecasts a
yield per acre of about 168 pounds and
a total production (allowin, a reduc- t
(ion of I per cent from planted area t
for abandonment) of about 10,950,000
bales. Last year's production was 16,
135,000 hales and tihe 1913 crop 1,
156,000. A crop less than I 1.000.000
bales would lie smaller than any crop
since 1909.
