Production will fall well short of last year with forecasts ranging from one and a quarter to one and a half million bales, amid widespread damage and late-season abortive blooms. Commissioner Hudson and state lawmakers toured counties, noting 144 counties report 10 to 20 percent damage due to heavy rains followed by extreme heat.

Attorney General Says Copper Mines Won’t Close
In Atlanta Georgia Attorney General John C Hart refuses to enforce an injunction to close the Ducktown copper mines in Fannin County asserting the mines are reducing fumes with about one million dollars already spent on sulfuric acid chambers. He argues closing would cost Georgia residents about a million dollars and would raise fertilizer prices. He says the companies are making an honest effort to abate the nuisance and continued enforcement is warranted as progress continues.
