bets without being interfered with by
the police While the races proceeded
there were isolated cries Of Down

was no noticeable disorder. Two
or three persons who made themselves
especially prominent by their denunci-

Southwestern France called the Landes,

Rad Farming Ontlnnk.

ATLANTA, GA, March s.-The Cmt-
atitti0n tomorrow will print review
Of the farming situation throughout the
South, based upon the declaration Of
Hon. r. 7. NesbIt, Commissioner OF
Agriculture, that the prospect has not
been so bad in forty years.
From South Carolina, Alabama and
Mississippi reports are that farm work
is fully one month behind, and that
with most favorable prospects the rec
ord OF last year could not be attaiued.
The consensus Of opinion is that the re-
duction OF acreage and delay in farm
work will cut of the cotton yield by at
least half a million bales. Other crops
are likewise backward.
