MEMPHIS CROP REPORT.
Condition and Prospects Of Cotton and Corn
Throughout the District.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 29.-The regular
monthly cotton crop report for the Mem
phis district, which embraces West Ten
nessee, North Mississippi, North Arkansas
and North Alabama, published by Hill,
Fontaine d Co. today, says: The weather
during The month has, in the main, been
favorable, and 1928 of our 38S correspondents
report it much more favorable than last
year for the some period There are some
complaints of drouths prevailing in
sections of Arkansas, while por-
lions of Alabama and Tennessee
report excessive rains. The plant, as a
rule, is fruitlng we'll and retaining its
squares and bolls, although i'll few local
tiles of Arkansas the report is maze or
shedding, due to drouth. The present con-
lition of the crop is encouraging and gives
bright promise of fuller yield than has
been our province to chronicle for the past
three years, although reports are made of
damage to crops from sections in all of the
four States, due to rust blight and
other causes, yet the percent
age is very small, and in
none of the States will exceed per cent
and in Mississippi it only amounts to per
cent. Picking will not become general
throughout the district until September 8.
The rains of the past four days may have
possibly added to the danger from this
cause i'm Tennessee and Alabama, but they
have not been general in their nature, and
in many localities will prove beneficial
The condition of corn throughout the dis
trict is improved since our last report, and
indications now point to yield OF fully 70
per cent of fair average crop OF this
cereal.
