Columbia, Oct. 4.-J. Skottowe Wan namaker, president of the American Cotton association, said last night that the association would ask for an investigation by congress of the gov ernment report on cotton issued Thursday. This action, he said, would be tak'n as a result of urgent requests received by the association, not only from the produteers and business in terests in the South, but from other interests in the various sections, in cluding the cotton exchanges. The reiuests, he said, had come from v'a rious sections of the country. "The association has been urged from every section," saild Mr. Vanna maker, "to take the necessary steps to have resolutions passed by congress providing for an investigation as to the Indicated yield shown by this re. port. The association is now making a paiistaking investigation through out the t ire helt as a resuit of these complaints and will lay the informa tion 1wihich it obta ins before congress. "The governineni. ' report issn1ed Thursday gave the condition of cot ton as 51.1. The condition of the crop on Ile same day last. year was given at .5-.4. The indicated yield for this year, according to the government rc port, 1%s 158 pouinds linit vottonl per aere. Last eyar, when the condition was given as being tle same as this year, the indicated yield was given as only 1:17 pounds. Why tie difference? Regardless of the faet that the report shows serious damage from boll wee vil, bol worms and insects, it gives the Indicated yield as being greater than last year's. The governgent re port appeared this time In somewhat changed form, the indicated yield he ing given by states. The indicated yield for South Carolina is given as 211 pounds per acre, We know abso lutely t-hat this is wrong: A canvass made by our association shows this to be an error. "A canvass made by the association throughout the belt shows that cot ton is opening prematurely, that the bolls are undersized. The lint shows a marked decrease. "In Justice to the farmer, the manu facturer and the consumer, ati investi gation should be authorized by con gress. We do not charge that the de partmeinnt of agriculture would inten tionally overestimate ,the yield. We have not, however, the slightest doubt but that an overestimate has been made. ald the correct indicated yield been given, based upon the acreage shown by the department after de ducting for abandonment of 1..370,000 acres, leaving total acreage of 32,:90, 1)(1), the highest, estimlate possible inl der Ile existing conditions, with dis eased plant, ravaged by insects, pre ina tuiire1,opeling, etc., the indicated yied could not have exceeded 9.775, 0011 bales at tihle outside, exclusive of l inters, even with a v'ery late fro~e "With re presenitat ives thbrouigh the l eng th and bread th of t his entire hell, we are'l ini positIOn to give tirsi hanld in format ion concerninug thle crop andi~ base our1 statement ilpont actual facts.
