AS this has been IA great year

of trusts which are TO directly op-
pose the producers Of raw mate

me that our farmer friends. cspe-
cially those who read, will sit
idly down and not make the least
effort to get their poor, deluded,
Inconsistent ncighborS to realize
that the battle is fully on and
that the manufacturers of every
article have organized, and that
we must pay for the advanced
prices, in great many instances
100 per cent, for articles of con
or those that we will
have to use in our business. |

progressed rapidly and favorab bly,,
and a considerable portion of the
crop, which is short. has been
marketed.
In Texas the dry weather con.
tinued in all localities up to the
10Th. In many places the drought
has been the worst for several
years. There were general show
ers and in many places heavy
rains on the 18th and 18th except
over the extreme eastern and
western portions of the state.
when the drought continues.
Prior to the 18th the W Gather was
exceptionally favorable for saw.
ing the cotton crop; the showery
weather of the 18th and 18th
had a tendency to retard cotton
picking, but up to the present
time no material damage has
been noted. Picking was rushed
during the exceptionally favora-
BILE weather for this work and
large amount of the crop has al
ready been gathered some fields
have been finished; picking will
be completed in many places by
Oct. l, while in others it appears
that picking will continue in
places we'll into the winter 1t is
not practicable at the present
time to approximate the time at
which picking will be completed
In all parts of the state. The sta
pie ls not as good now az in ear
lier picking; this is due to so
much premature opening. The
cotton crop is without doubt very
light, the yield being considera.
bly, below an average in most
sections. Worms are destroying
some of the cotton planted in the
Brazos bottom after the overflow.
In Arkansas hot days and cool
nights we're characteristic fea-
