tions for planting and termination. The
record OF planting in the May report is
quite accurately the history of the crop to
the present time. Planting was delayed
by early rains and drought in the latter
bali OF April, followed by continued
drought IN May. termination arrested.
replanting active. defective stands cor
rected, are features of the record fire.
quently and almost universally reported.
lnese conditions were more general and
controlling in Texas than in any other
State.
The areas. as compared with those of
last year, are given as follows: Virginia,
So; North Carolina, 94 South Carolina,
@; Georgia, 95; Florida, 80; Alabama, 96 !;
MISSISSIPPI. 80; Louisiana, So Texas, 105
Arkansas, 90 Tennessee. 95.
The general condition is lowest for June
since 1874, though it is only q fraction
lower than that of 1888 and 1889, the latter
Q year of good yield through favorable
later conditions. The State averages of
condition are: Virginia, rs; North Caro-
lima, %; South Carolina, So; Georgia, so (;
Florida, 90; Alabama, 80; Mississippi, SO !;
louisiana, So; Texas, 81; Arkansas, SO (;
Tennessee, 73.
The temperature of MAY was quite too
low for cotton, cool nights checking ger
minatlon and retarding growth. OF course,
these conditions make the crop late in de-
velopment, in some places few days, in
others week or two later than IN seasons
OF early development.
There is frequent mention of bad stands,
but constant replanting will reduce the
vacancies TO a minimum. Cultivation is
necessarily late and the nelds are grassy,
with the usual vsratio' resulting from
differences in soil. amount of replanting,
and the relative prom ptness and efficiency
Of plantation man95ers.
