California, as a whole, yielded 161 pounds to the acre and in some oounties planters claim they averaged from 500 to 750 pounds, through ab- sence of weevil and irrigation. Average Costs Figured. In the South the average cost of prodycing, gathering and delivering a pound of cotton averaged between 26 and 26% cents, or $130 to $132.50 @ bale. In selected sections of Louisiana, where 250 pounds an acre was produced one planter estimated the cost at $95.40 a bale. A Louisiana planter placed costs in his district, which yielded about 160 pounds, at $105.50 a bale. In Central Texas some estimates on 160-pound production fix costs at $115 a bale. In King County, Calif, however, planters derived $900,000 from their crop in 1924, the second year cotton had been planted there.
