Narrative:The pilot reported that shortly after takeoff from his private airstrip, the airplane's engine lost partial power. He activated the electric fuel pump at which time the engine lost all power. The pilot attempted to return to his private airport but landed short with the landing gear retracted in a cotton field. The airplane's forward fuselage was substantially damaged. Examination of the airplane after the accident did not reveal any preimpact anomalies that would explain the loss of engine power.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for a reason that could not be determined.
