Remarks: In this state, the con
ditons are somewhat different. One
third the acreage was planted very
early, and good results obtained.
| ne pants from THESE early STANDS art
| well advanced, and In a good many in
stances, are now in bloom and bolls form
| ing.
In seed planted later, stands obtained
were very irregular, and on account o
drought, the plant Is small and late, bu
I'm healthy condition. Taking everythiu.
into Consideration, we think the condition
of crop is fully u to Is per cent poore
than last year in Florida.
General Remarks: Knowing the Sc;
island cotton DISTRICT in the state
of Florida, Georgia and Soutl
Carolina, as to localities where crop 4
grown, character of soil, kind of seet
i planted, and fertilizers used; all necessar,
10 ala In making closer estimate, we fee
confident in estimating the condition of tn
present crop to date, in the three states, Il
least Il to IS per cent. short, as compare,
Co the condition of the crop, at same dat
last season. The quantity of the fines
grade of cotton seed, planted this season
in the above states cpd especially so Il
Florida le much less. on account of tn
sme Il difference in price realized on lowe
grades, the past season.
| Everything being exceptionally faVora
BILE to the plant, from now out, and the un
usual lon gathering seasons we have had
for the past three years, we predict tnu
the sea island cotton CROP will be IL 70 :
