finer promise OF cotton in hi, life than he had
in this valley two weeks ago. As far as the
dry weather was concerned it had not affect

bolls IN the least. Many fields in this country
no doubt would have run from eleven to four
teen hundred pounds to the acre, for the
three l,icklngs. We have said so much and
urged 80 strongly upon our farmers the neccs-
sity of thoroughly testing this crop, and after
ten tons OF seed had been successfully planted.

work of the grasshoppers. The cotton plant
seems TO have been their special deligIt-the
regular grasshopper desert after having made
a meal of few corn fields.
