percentage is very small. Cotton as far
east as twenty-five miles is
reported as exceptionally high and well
worked cotton choppers command 81 %
per day, and the supply needed cannot
be obtained by over half. The tempera-
ture is high, and the next week, if IA
vorable, will bank up gold in the cotton
fields Flowing between the cotton has
been necessarily deep, and many sucker

droop some, if the heat continues without

enormous. The small grain crop almost
worthless.
