The Posts Crop Report.

HoUsToN, Tex, August > The
Post will tomorrow say in its crop
report for July: The Post today
prints replies from correspondence
in all parts of the cotton growing
region of Texas, giving the condi-
ton of the cotton crop on July II
as the average date. These reports
speak for themselves, and they
show that the outlook is
not az gloomy az many would
have the world believe The Posts
crop report is not gotten out for
speculative purposes, but to inform
the public as to the exact condi-
tions which prevail, leaving every
rea Ter to form his own conclusions
The accompanying report shows
that the crop is hardy 1t got
late start, and after being planted
encountered cold, wet spell
This was succeeded by
drouth, which prevented proper
growth. Then came veritable
dcluge, which kept farmers from
the fields and retarded the cultiva-
ton. Following this came the
summer drouth, which has just been
in part broken by partial showers,
which have been of great benefit
TAX en- all in all the crop is in fairly
good condition, and unless further
damage occurs IS to 20 per cent Of
what is called good crop can be
counted on. The exchanges calcu-
late that tie crop of 1892 will be
200, 900 bales, while the com
missioner, MIR. Hollingsworth,
from reports 80 far received,
from assessors puts the crop at ;
700, 900. Estimates of increase in
acreage made over 1899 range from
4 to - per cent. Taking per
cent az a conservative basis there
has been planted in cotton this year
nearly $3.50 O00 acres, which was
nearl y the acreage in 1901. In no
year has full crop ever been rails
ed. therefore, all speculation as
to iull crop ID guess work The
Post has never yet found two men
that agree on what "full' crop
means. However, taking the ex-
change figure, which estimates the
crop of 1892 at z, 200, 900 bales on
an average estimated at 1000, 00C
3 acres, we would have a crop this
: year of from /, $50, coo to 1905
bales.

Washington dispatch, 80: &c. Adams
OF Webster, s. D., chairman of the Yank-
ton Indian CONFUSION, has prepared
and will in a few days submit his report.
This commission has negotiated a treaty
with the Yankton Indians for the cession
OF that portion OF the reservation IN
South Dakota hat IS not needed for
allotment in severalty to the Indians.
1t contains 10000 acres, for which the
treaty stipulates that the government
shall pay 100000 and the land be dis
posed OF to actual settlers under the land
laws Of the United States at such a price
as congress may decide. AS the price
paid the Indians for the land is 800 per
acre, it is probable that the government
could not sell the land to settlers kor any
less figure. The treaty provides for the
payment OF 100000 down, which must
be appropriated when the treaty is rati-
fed by congress. 1t is pretty hard to
get an appropriation of that kind through
as an amendment to the Indian appropri-
alton bill during the next session. Con-
gress has already established q precedent
that treaties OF this character may be
modified and that legislation affecting
Indian lands may be enacted without
going back to the Indians for their con-
sent, and 1t is possible that some modifi-
cation OF the Adams treaty may be made.

and hundreds Of designs were sent in.

fell back on their own man. A good OPP
