Cotton Crop of
4,775,000 Bales
Austin, Texas, .July 24.—A cotton
crop of 4,775,000 bales was estimated
Wednesday by George B. Terrell, com-
missioner of agriculture, in a resume
of agricultural conditions of the state.
With favorable conditions, the yield
might total 5,000,000 bales, the rdport
said, but it is likely the crop will fall
below this figure. Acreage was in- j
creased two per cent over last year,'
but abandonment will offset the gain.!
“Considerable damage was reported
by boll weevil, and the leaf worm is

only one car on the track for loading
at press time, with a possibility of
another car for the week.
The crop this year has brought a
higher average price than for several
years, so we have been informed, al-

cost of running an automobile.
Every kind % of expense was included
in the investigation, gasoline, oil,
charging batteries, repairs and deter-
ioration. The conclusion is that the
cost of running a six-cylinder car over
a smooth asphalt or concrete road is
6 1-4 cents per mile, while over poor
roads the cost climbed to 8.62 cents
per mile.
“So when we begin to consider the
matter of voting a bond issue to im-
prove our county highways we can
cost us
more in the amount we will pay in
taxes or in the extra cost of operating
a car over bad roads. The extra
gasoline necessary to drive over some

prove, would in many cases far ex-
ceed the amount of tax the bond issue
would call for.”—Ex.
