COTTON CROP is POOR.
Hot Weather and Drouth Have Cut
Down the Oklahoma Yield
Materially.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept s.-(SpecialD }
The long continued hot weather and dry
spell have hurt cotton again and the buy
ers now report that indications are for a
poor crop. A welcome rain two weeks ago
raised the hopes of the growers. who, up
to that time, had been discouraged at the
outlook. The protracted and severe sum-
mer season, with the dry winds, has re-
vived these former fears.
The cotton, say the growers, will be be-
low the standard both IN quality and guam
uty. From present indications the yield
will average about half bale per acre,
one-fourth bale below the product of the
unusually good one, some of the fields
yielded bale to the acre. The Oklahoma
crop is expected to be better, however,
than that of most localities of the cotton
growing states. reports from the South
indicating a generally poor yield. This is
notably true of Texas. where the crop is
away below the average, both in extent
and quality. This will, of course. be of
some advantage to Oklahoma, although
the light yield here will not permit Okla
the opportunity which the poor crop of
other states offer
Men who claim to be authorities in the
cotton business, are advising growers to
selling, expecting a raise in prices. The
cotton buyers. they advise, are bulls when
considering the size of crops, but bears
when fixing prices for the product.
Not the least unfortunate effect of the
inferiority of the yield will be felt by the
cotton picking classes. Large numbers of
negroes and not few whites, depend upon
their work during the cotton picking sea-
son for a livelihood Cotton picking pays
well. and the proceeds go far toward as
ing the year. These classes will suffer Us
result of the shortage.

ity than the white, regiments. and that
cNierienced men will fill then; so quickly
that the two commands will be ready to
sail for the Philippines early In November.
The addition of these regiments TO the
army almost exhausts the quota of $3.50
volunteers allowed by congress There
will then be twenty-five regiments of 1909
men each, which, with the Porto Rico
naval battalion of 400 men, leaves q margin
OF only 1875 in the authorized strength, or
not quite enough for another regiment and
half.
General Miles had recommended three
colored regiments, while General Otis had
reported that negroes were not desired in
the Philippines, the friendly natives Icing
strongly rrejudiced against them. II is
likely that one Of the new organizati ons
will have Its temporary quarters at Rich
mond and he commanded by Captain Will
lam p. DuvaIl, First artillery. who was
majcr in the inspector generals depart
ment and lieutenant colonel in the ord
nance corps last year.
The other regiment will probably be or
ganiZed at Admission, Ala, All the officers
have already been selected for the two
organizations and it only remains for the
president to issue the commissions and tor
the war department to direct the begin
ming OF recruiting.
