t on the corresponding date
in 1911, 82.0 per cent in 1910, and
79.9 per cent he average condition
for the past ten years on May 25.
The generally favorable growing
conditions throughout the cot on
belt had caused <nu< h speculation as
to- the condition of the plants and
resulted in unofficial estimates rang-
ing/from 79 8 per cent to as high
as 85 per cent.
The area planted 'o cotton this
year also has been the subject of
much speculation In cotton circles,
but the Department of Agriculture s
official estimates will not be issued
until July 3 owing to the passage
of he law last year which deferred
this annual report from June to a
month later. Unoificially the area
planted this year is es imated by
the most conservative at an in-
crease over the 34,283.090, a<xys
pi ked last year. These unofficial
es imates range from a 3 per cent
increase upward. A 3 per cent In-
crease in the acreage planted would
indicate an area of about 35,311,900
acres.
The condition by states on May
25 was:
Virginia—83.
North Carolina—76.
South Carolina—68.
Georgia—69.
Florida—83.
Alabama—75,
Mississippi—81.
