North Carolina. Mississippi and Arkansna.
13 per cent In Indian Territory, IS per cent
In Okl.'ituma, 25 per cent In Vliginla and
27 per cent In Missouri. In general the In

labor, the high price of seed, tho enlarged
area In fall sown crcps and In certain sec
tions by exceptionally unfavorable weather
conditions. Along the northern border of
the cotton belt land from which wheat has
been harvttited Is being hurriedly planted In
cotton, but the amount Is l datively Incon
siderable and allowance has been mnde for
It In the estimate.

state In twenty-fHc years and 16 points
below the ten-year average. South Caro
lina, Alabama nnd Tennessee are 2 points
nnd Mississippi and Florida .1 points and 1
respectively, below their ten-year averages.
On the other hand, lx)tilslana reports 1 point.
