to 1920. (See Table 6.) The yield of cotton in 1913 was very close 
to that of the State average for the five-years 1911 to 1915, but the 
yield for 1918 was much above that of the average for the five-year 
period 1916 to 1920. The average yield for the latter five-year 
period fell more than 20 per cent below that of the former. The 
yield per acre of cotton for Georgia in 1913 is given at 82.6 per cent 
of normal, and in 1918 at 71.11 per cent. The losses from normal 
yield for each year are assigned to causes shown in Table 7.
