RAINS RETARD
COTTON PICKING
"
In Western Belt But Week End
ing September 27 Was Fav
orable As a Rule.
—
; Except for heavy rains in the
western belt at the week end, the
period was favorable, promoting
picking. Temperatures were
however rather low and in con
nection with recent rains delayed
opening and growth in eastern
states.
In this the last of the weekly
reports for the season special in
quiry was made of correspond
ents as to the maturity of the
bolls. It has been developed that
the maturity percentages range
from about 66 in North Carolina
to 100 in Louisiana and over
large areas of Texas and Oklaho
ma. The majority of the belt ap
pears to be somewhat above 75
per cent which does not denote a
late crop, but on the other hand
a rather well advanced one in
this particular.

material benefit in the Atlantic
states and the cotton is still mak
ing growth and fruit. It is wor
thy of note though that the rains
have by reason of the growth
stimulated increased the necessi
ty for late frost to realize the full
promise now given. Over most
of the central and western dis
tricts an average date of frost
will have little effect and . what
:'s most desired is favorable wea
ther for harvesting, and while
conditions have been slightly im
proved by September rains and
the Condition percentage is ra
ther better than two weeks ago,
th?re is a note of disappointment
that early pickings are not meet
ing expectations.
Heavy rains such as have fall
en during past two days in the
wrest add nothing to the crop and
are damaging to the quality of
the cotton and may lessen the
quantity.
BY STATES
North Carolina—Week favora
' ble except as to temperature
which was low and following
week of rain cotton opened very ,
slowly. Estimated only 5 to 7
per cent picked and two-thifds
fully matured and 10 to 15 per
cent picked.
South Carolina—Fair weather
following rains allowed resump
tion of picking. Late cotton de
veloping well and most reports
denote good crop if frost is late.
Estimated 70 per cent fully ma
tured and 10 to 15 per cent pick
ed.
Georgia— Much accomplished
in way of picking as week gener
ally without rain. Last week’s
rains highly beneficial to late
cotton but increases need for de
layed frost. Estimated 75 per
cent crop fully matured and per
centage picked large.
Alabama— Splendid picking
week. Very little top crop.
Great quantity open and 35 to 40
per cent picked in localities. Es
timated 82 per cent crop fully
mature. Frost can do but little
harm. Many small bolls open.
Last week’s rains benefitted few
of lowlands.
Mississippi— Rapid picking
was most notable development of
week. Every report brings news
of smaller outturn in boll weevil
sections. Some good crops
north. Free marketing. Esti
mated little under 80 per cent
fully mature.
Tennessee—Ideal week for
I picking. Rains helped growth
; late bolls, but returns from all
j early pickings disappointing.
Lint return light. Estimated 72
per cent crop fully matured.
Arkansas—Picking stopped by
heavy rains Friday which did
considerable damage to grade
and may cause actual loss in
[ quantity by reason of delay to
| harvest and beating out of bolls.
