Ciitiiep to September 1,
Total 963^42 Bale*.
The government cotton crop
estimate, showing condition,
total yield, and ginnings as of
September 1st, was released
Thursday morning at ten
o’clock.
The estimated yield was 11,-
310,00* bales. -
(I nnings totaled 803.242.
This is an increase cf 4000
bales over the August estimate
which at that time was for a
crop of 11,306,000 bales.
The recent advance in the
price is said to have been dne
to the general expectation of
a redaction in the estimate and
the report Thursday morning
broke the market about *5.00
per bale. The average guess
of New York Cotton Exchange
members was for a crop of 10,-
731,000 bales. Many of the
private estimates were for a
big reduction in the crop.
The condition of the crop
was placed at 56.6 per cent of
normal, against 65.6 per cent a
month ago and 68.0 per cent a
year ago. The crop reporting
board figured the indicated
yield at 147.8 pounds per acre
as compared with 149.6
pounds last month and 201.2
pounds produced last seaeon.
Of 37,290,800 acres which
the department reported were
planted in cotton this year, as
contrasted with 40.495,000 in
1931, it estimated that 36,611,-
000 acres remained to be pick-
ed September 1. This was an
abandonment of 1.8 per cent
since July 1, while the average
abandonment for the last 10
years was 8.1 per cent.
“The decline in prospective
yield per acre during the
month was entirely offset by
the fact that abandonment of
acreage is estimated to be
somewhat below average," the
department said.
“The forecasts for Texas
and Oklahoma are consider-

The County School Board, at
its regular meeting here last
Saturday set the county scho-
lastic apportionment at 27
cents per capita. The state ap-
portionment has already been
placed at *16.06 per capita.
The total state and county ap-
portionment, therefore, is
*16.27. The cost of adminis-
tration is fixed at .53 per cap-
ita. This leaves *15.74 avail-
able for each school child in
the county.
Several vacancies on the
boards of trustees for rural
schools were filled by appoint-
ment at the meeting.
September 26 was set by
the board as the latest date at
which rural terms should be-
gin. All trustees of rural
schools are urged to have the
terms for their schools open at
this date in order that closing
dated may be more uniform. It
is expected that all schools in
the county will begin by that
time.
All members of the board
were present Saturday. They
are: C. A. Crocker, Joaquin,
chairman; J. B. Hammer,
