Ginners Report On Cotton Crop From National Association
J A Taylor president of the National Ginners Association released a special report on the cotton crop from Memphis Tennessee dated July 19. About half the core respondents show a condition of 72 or under the lowest ever for this date. Alabama Mississippi Louisiana and Arkansas report heavy deterioration from drought and hot winds. Some rains have fallen but too late, cotton stopped growing in many sections and is shedding bolls. Rain now would hasten shedding with little chance to recover growth due to the weevil. Georgia and the Carolinas report small losses from heavy rains. Oklahoma shows marked loss in half the state. Weevil districts report less damage than in June but rains would worsen it. Condition will likely drop further through the 36th unless two to three days of general rain occur in Texas.
