Col. R. M. Mixson, president of the South Carolina Cotton Association, disputes the 1919 cotton crop forecast of 11,030,000 bales. He cites extensive travel in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas showing poor conditions and large abandoned acreage. He estimates 1919 crop around 9.3 to 9.5 million bales with low ginnings after December 1 and warns prices may fall if market expectations stay high.
