Some Census Totals?Bales of Domestic Consumption Run Light. ;j (The State.) J South Carolina and Georgia are! credited with a large part of the inflj crease in production of cotton in refl cent years, in the census bulletin oflR cotton production in 1913, copies cU which reached Columbia yesterdav^? The crop of 1913, as compared witn that of 1912, shows a gain in each of the States with the exceptions of North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia. The production in Alabama, Georgia. South Carolina and Tennessee was the largest ever reported for these States, except for 1911. Arkansas made its record crop in 1913 and Louisiana showed the largest amount ginned from a single crop since 1908. While the crop in Texas 4 was nearly 1,000,000 bales short of j the record crop of 1912, it was ex! ceeded by that and only two others? ; thoe of 1900 and 1911. Great varia i tions are shown in the crops of this I State in the different years. In 1900 j while the following year it amounted I to on! v 2.300.179 hales. The niminv. i tion then rose to '{,81 1,185 bales in I ! 1908, to 4.2515.42" hales in 1011, ami to 4,880.210 hales in 1012. The Stat<j produced 25.2 per cent of the total crop of the country in 1000, 2(5.3 per cent in 1010, 27.1 per cent in 1011, 35.(5 per cent in 1012, and 27.0 per cent in 1018. The production of cotton in (!eor,gia in 1013, while showing: an increaseof more than 500,000 bales, as compared with the previous year, was still 452.02(5 bales short of the record crop of 1011. The crop of 1013, however, was, in this State, greater than that of 100(5 by 724,020 bales, or 45.." per cent, and in South Carolina by 501,(533 bales, or 57.3 per cent. , ft. The production of cotton in I,ouis-ft iana decreased steadily from 100(5 to J010. though since then there has ! been some increase. In 190(5 the production of the State amounted to 087,770 bales, while in 1910 tin amount was only 245,(548 bales. This rapid decline was due largely to the ravages of the boll weevil and to the consequent diversion of cotton lands to the cultivation of sugar cane, rice and other crops. There has been a tendency to return to the cultivation of cotton in some sections of the State, and it is expected that there will be a further increase in the pro. duction. South Carolina ranked fourtl among the States in cotton production in 1913, 1912 and 1911; fifth ir 1910 and third in 1909. There wey< 189 counties which reported mo Mc than 25,000 hales each in 1913, .M compared with 16(5 in 1912 and 221 [tl 1911.

(From London Times, August 12.)_ A problem of great public interest nd importance is how far and how >ng paper manufacturers and newsaper proprietors will be able to proide the aipount of paper necessary ) satisfy the unprecedented demand jr war news. In this country there Is ordinarily onsumed and exported about 15,000 sns \\pekly of news and white paper i reel made from wood pulp. This neiudes paper used for magazines nd the like. The consumption has isen 25 per cent owing to the demand for war news, and the increase /ould have much greater but for the act that the size of newspapers has ieen rigorously cut down. A large lercentage of this paper comes from Newfoundland and the Continent. ?rom Newfoundland we get about 00 tons weekly and from the Contilent 2,000 tons. The Continent supply comes from Scandinavia, Gernany and Holland. The colonial supdies, though interrupted, have not 'it' been seriously interfered with, and it | is hoped that this will continue to be l | the case. Hut the Continental con| signments have for the moment eeas0 ed, so that the available supplies are if diminished to that extent. One im1 mediate result has been to raise the " price of paper. A fortnight ago the price was about Id (2 cents;) now it is lxd (3 1-2 cents.) Some 11,500 r tons of paper are being manufactured j I in this country at the present time M ' and to this amount has to be added the supply from Newfoundland. s It is obvious that the total supply ' ^ {Q of nvncnnl f??? * l"? -1 * ' . - .v, Uw pivoviu Kii oiiiii i ui nit: uL'inaiiu. "|J The increase of 75 per cent in the cost of paper is a serious matter for the H printing trade generally and for M newspaper proprietors in particular, M but a question of even more vital 1110I ment is the continued supply now : -I that the Continental shipments of m 'wood pulp have been stopped. AcW cording to the best. informed sources jfc of information stocks are being iUcb-awn upon to the extent of 11),000 mis a week instead of the normal (V^BOOO tons. It is estimated that the a^^nves are normally equivalent to S^^^kveek's supply, but that at the rate of consumption these last for about six weeks.
