CROP CONDITION

Ainerican Cottopk Association EstI
mate of Crop Condition on July 25
wa-s 75.2.
Coluinpta, Aug. 1.-Condition re
port under average date of July 25, is
sued by the American Cotton associa
tion, shows that the percentage is 75.2
according to its estimates. The re
port also sums up labor conditions,
the demand abroad, cost of produc
tion and manipulation.
The report .in full follows:
'As a result of one of the most care
ful and painstaking inves-tigations as
to the condition of the cottonl erop and
vital facts bearing thereon, this in
vestigation being probably one of the
most complete and thorough ever
made, we beg to report that we find:
'First, As to the condition of the av
erage (late of July 25, 1920, 75.2. The
crop is from three to four weeks late,
extremely sappy and subject to seri
ous deterioration as a result of ad
verse weather conditions, whieh are
universal 'through August.
As a result of recent adverse wvea
ther conditions, Colton is already
shedding badly. On account of the
lateness of the crop and the sappy
condition of the same it offers on in.
viting field to insect damage; an early
frost spells the certainty of an enor
imous decrease in the indicated yield.
Labr is extrilemely llort and in

amount of latbQ' tQ halrveSt The o'
as it does 1d tuliivaie it. It will be
absolltely imsl)sb11)le even 'with ideal
l .weather con(itionF, with the great
shortage of labor, to harvest a crop
larger than the average short crop for
3 the past five years.
- Also a result of our investigations
t abroad we find that we are face to
face with the fact that the world will
- stand in pressing need of 1.,000,000
- bales of cotton from America; that we
- are facing an enormous Increased de
mand for raw cotton. There Is a press
ing need of anl enormous amount of
off grade cotton. No matter what the
carry over or surplus may be, we are
facing the absolute certainty of an
enormous expansion In the manufac
tire of cotton both as a normal de
a velopment and on account of the enor
mously increased demand for cotton
n goodp. worldwide, and the great
deartli of same, there being an in
creaped dennd ever3where 'in the
world for cotton cloth.
The growing crop will be the most
costly ever produced. As a result of
the imporlatioti of Oriental oils, cot
ton seed are being solo for about one
fifth of the price average for the last
two years. This will result in an
I . enormous increase in the cost of lint
cotton.
As a result of the manipulation in
