Table V (p. 14), which is an estimate of the storage capacity of 
the warehouses available at the end of the 1913-14 season, is made 
up from a detailed comparison of Tables III and IV. By referring 
to Table III it will be seen that the complete list of Georgia contains 
990 warehouses. Of these, 668 have reported, and as shown in 
Table III they have a storage capacity of 1,038,445 flat bales, 
1,281,745 bales as offered, or 1,746,060 compressed bales. ‘This is an 
average capacity for the warehouses reporting of 1,555 flat bales, 
1,770 as offered, or 2,600 compressed. From a careful survey of the 
State it has been ascertained that many warehouses not reporting 
have a large storage capacity, and it is believed that the average 
capacity of those not reporting is as great, if not greater, than the 
average for the 668 which reported. But in making these estimates, 
in order to be very conservative, it is assumed that the average 
capacity of those not reporting in flat bales is only 600, as offered 800, 
and compressed 1,000. If these amounts are added to the amounts 
actually reported, the total storage capacity for Georgia is: Flat, 
1,231,645 bales; as offered, 1,539,345 bales; and compressed, 2,068,060 
bales.
