WASHINGTON November 9.
The “Evening Post’s” financial editor writes: “The Department of Agriculture’s cotton 'crop report today indicating on November 1, a yield of thirteen million bales, brings failure trj another 'governmental effort to crop eultailment. The actual production last year was 1.3,002,sOOO, bales, and the estimate is about the average from 1910 to date. The Government expected to reduce production by four million two hundred thousand bales, and has expected 111 million dollars thereon. The cotton farmers have slashed their acreage substantially but they have been in the position to devote more time to the remaining! crop, and they hf|ve used the Government funds to buy fertiliser and to increase their yield.
