THE OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.


The Commercial and Financial
Chronicles annual June estimate of
cotton acreage in the United States
says:
The tendency to reduce cotton acre
age this season is apparent, but the
aggregate deduction from the area is
not heavy. The Indian territory stands
alone in recording large increase,
but that result is due to exceptional
causes. 1t is asGyibcd to the unsettled
condition of Indian affairs, on accoun,
of which farmers rcfraincd from 90
ing to the trouble Of diycrsifying their
crops fearing they can not hold pos
session of their lands. The greatest
decrease seems to have been in Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma. In the Atlantic
states thefalling Off ranges from three
per cent, in Virginia, to six per cent.
in South Carolina, and along the gulf
the declines are one per cent, in Mis-
sissippi and two per cent. in Alabama.
Texas records a loss Of two per cent.
Arkansas eight per cent. and Tennes-
see 5& per cent. Florida and Louis-
ana, according to our information,
have made no apprecabe departure
from previous areas. The changes this
year show net decrease, compared
with 1898, of 3,2 per cent, making the
total 22,d33,24j acres in 1899, against
23,l7j,000 acres in 1898.
AS TO maturity the crop is without
doubt a backward one. The spring
opened late, delaying planting, and
over a pretty wide area deficiency of
moisture interfered with rapid gcrmi-
nation of the later-planted seed. At
the same time temperature has all
along teen more satisfactory than has
been the case in most recent years, so
that when needed rains came, very
satisfactory growth resulted In
southern Texas the crop is much more
advanced than elsewhere, seed having
been planted earlier, and the weather
conditions, as rule, favoring salts
factory development. In fact it may
be said that first paintings in that
state are, on the whole, more forward
than was the case a year ago.

Sailed Down give veal"

\ Jefferson county farmer hired a
very inexperienced boy of the reforma-
tory to help around the place, One
morning he told the lad to go and salt
the calf in the pasture. The boy took
about quart of salt, rubbing it all over
the calf, working it into the hair. A
gang of colts in the pasture scented the
salt and got after the calf. They licked
the hair all off the calf's back, and tried
to lick the hide off, too. The farmer
tried to catch the calf and wash it off,
but the creature, thinking he wanted to
lick, too, kept out Of the way, The boy,
calf and farmer are all unhappy. The
colts are the only ones that get any fun
out of it.-Denycr Field and Farm.
