Condition of New Cotton Crop.

Cotton is in a fairly satisfactory con-
dition in nearly every portion Of the
belt, and the reports OF insect ravages,
grassy fields, and injury from drought
or excessive rains are less numerous
than usual at this season of the year.
In North Carolina planting is nearly
completed and chopping about finished,
with the weather conditions favorable
for the growth of the plant.
In South Carolina the cool weather
was unfavorable for cotton, which is
making slow growth, and in a few To-
calities is infested by lice. Late plant
ings not up. Sea island cotton has
good stands.
In Georgia cotton has been damaged
somewhat by worms, and the nights
were little too cool, butwith anything
like favorable season cotton will give
good yield.
In Florida the greater portion of the
State was visited by refreshing show
ers, which greatly improved cotton.
In Alabama cotton was much bene-
flied by the rains, and, although it is
still small, and its growth was some
what checked by the cool nights, it is
clean and well cultivated and looks
promising.
In Mississippi the nights were too
cool in most sections for the satisfac-
tory growth Of cotton. Some cotton
is being plowed and looks fair; late
cotton is very unsatisfactory and much
replanting has been done. The stand
for early planted has been vaIiously
reported but in the main it is good.
In Louisiana, cotton that was planted
while there was yetmoisture enough in
the ground to germinate the seed, is of
a healthy color and the fields are free
from grass and weeds. The recent
copious rains will undoubtedly greatly
improve the condition Of late planted
cotton, and cause seeds that lay dor
mant to come up.
In Texas cotton has made good
growth and is in an excellent state OF
cultivation, except in some localities
over the northern portion of the State,
where the ground has been too wet for
proper cultivation and the crop is very
foul. Planting continues to some ex-
tent over the northern portion, while
over the southern portion the plant is
well advanced and forming squares.
In Arkansas heavy rains in the early
part Of the week greatly retarded farm
ing operations. Cotton is nearly all
planted, except in overfowed districts,
where replanting is delayed by wet
condition Of the ground. Cotton, gen
orally, is up, the stand only fair on ac-
count of defective seed and damage by
cutworms. In some localities in the
southern tier Of counties, where wealth
er has been more favorable for the
growth and cultivation of the crop, the
early planted is beginning to limb and
squares are forming. In some sections
the grass is very bad.
In Tennessee cotton has not only
suffered from the ravages Of cut worms,
but the cool nights have initiated
greatly against its normal growth.
Bad stands are reported generally
throughout large portion Of the dis
trict.
In Oklahoma cotton is making nor
NAL growth, but on account of delay in
getting the crop in the ground, it is
generally small and late. The early
planted is doing we'll.
