WEEKLY COTTON REPORT.
Conditions Last Week Showed siderable
Improvement.

| Improvement.
The condition of the growing cotton
crop improved noticeably in the Mis-
sissippi valley and the Gulf and
South Atlantic states, and continues to
look very promising in Texas; but the
crop as a whole is late. Insects are
less destructive thun usual at this sea-
son; but in some states there is COM
plant of poor stands and foul fields.
Generally the crop is well cultivated
and clean.
In North Carolina cotton withstood
the drought well, and even made ex-
cellent growth. Recent rains have in
duced rapid growth.
In South Carolina cotton of early
planting is doing well everywhere and
some is putting on squares freely late
planted is not all up, and some fields
have been replowed and planted in
corn. The stands of cotton are gen.
orally fair but the plants are smaller
than usual to the season. Sea Island
cotton is in splendid condition, and
some blooms have been noted.
In Georgia cotton seems to be hold
ing its own and in some sections has
made some growth.
In Florida cotton is free from grass
and in fair condition, but late.
In Alabama cotton is growing slow
ly, but continues generally promising,
though some damaging features c.black
rot" and bud worms and cut worms
in southern counties, with local "spot-
ting" and grasshoppers in various
parts of the state) are reported. The
late planted is poor stand, so far,
though squares are forming rapidly
and blooms are becoming general in
the early planted.
In Mississippi early cotton has been
extensively worked in every section of
the state and the farmer has it we'll in
hand, although grass has given much
trouble. The stand varies, but is gen.
orally good. Late cotton, although
improved, is very backward and prom
ises but little.
In Louisiana the growth of cotton
was slow, but the plants retained
good color. Cotton is beginning to
blossom.
In Texas the cotton crop is as a rule
in an excellent state of cultivation
the plant is growing rapidly. 1t is
fruiting we'll over the central portion.
There are scattered complaints of dam
age from the caterpillar, boil weevil
and other insects, but so far this dam
age is small.
In Arkansas the weather has been
favorable for the cultivation and
growth of cotton, the farmers have
taken advantage of the favorable con-
ditions and have put their cotton in
fine condition, where it has been pro-
perly cultivated and is looking well.
In Tennessee cotton has improved
and in most sections is making fair
growth, where we'll cultivated and
clean, but in some localities few
fields have been abandoned on ac-
count of the want of sufficient labor
to cultivate; there are still many COM
plants of poor stands.

Cow PEAs.-A correspondent in The
Practical Farmer says: I have made
short cut to success in cow pea grow
ing by sowing at the proper time. II
sown before the ground is warm and
dry get poor stand of sickly plants.
Weeds will thrive in cold soil, and as
peas will not, the weeds will soon get
ahead of the peas. If sown when the
ground is dry and hot, cow peas will
outgrow anything 1 ever saw. Best
results are obtained by sowing when the
cold nights are passed, which, in our
latitude, is about June l.

SPONGES FOR HONEYCOMBS.
A Maine Man Thinks He Has Solved &
Problem In Bee Culture.

Problem In Bee Culture.
If the honey bees are wise, they will
refrain from singing or annoying Tom
Kyah during the remainder of his nat
ural life, because he has lately adopted
labor saving device that enables the
industrious occupants of the hives to
accumulate double the amount Of
honey they could before Kyah turned
his energies to bee-keeping. Tom is a
barber by trade, and raises bees as q
fad, so as to keep his mind occupied.
AS q result he entertains his customers
with tales of the apiary instead of try
ing to sell them new hair invigora'
tor, and finds that his patronage is in,
creasing every week. He reads what
ever books on bee culture come to
hand, besides doing fair amount OF
thinking and close observation on his
own hook.
According to Toms idea, bee is q
well meaning and poorly educated in
sect that needs the guiding hand of man
TO bring it to fullest perfection. The
making of honey is secondary consid'
Grafton in the economy of bee life.
The stuff which costs time and Ia
bor is the comb, which is manufac'
tured into storage vaults, in which
the honey is preserved in air.tight
sealed packages, stamped and labeled
with trade mark of the queen bee
who presides over the destinies OF
the colony. Different men have con-
structed machinery for the stamp
ing of beeswax into a crude imi-
tation of the genuine conn.,, and the
bees have accepted this as Il passable
substitute for the real thing, but Tom
is the first apiarist who has done away
with the beeswax in any form and sat-
is6ed the bees.
One day last June, after washing his
buggy and sponging it off, he threw
the sponge, which was large and por-
Gus, into an empty beehive that was in
his stable. Here it stayed until thor
oughly dry. A swarm of bees coming
out, Tom housed them in this hive
without thinking to remove the sponge,
which had clung to nail in the top
board. Two weeks later Tom looked
into his hive and found it was almost
filled with nice white clover honey.
AS the swarm was not large one, the
great store was Il surprise TO Tom, who
thought it would not be full before
September. On closer observation he
found that his bees had utilized the
porous sponge as storehouse for their
honey, filling it cell by cell and sealing
it up as if sponge was the very article
that progressive bees had been seeking
all their lives.
1t was too late to continue the ex.
pertinent, as all the bees had swarm
ed; but this year Tom has equipped
all of his new hives with sponge comb,
and believes he has solved problem,
that has mystified bee-keepers for
years. Instead of compelling his bees
TO waste three fourths Of their time in
chewing vegetable gum and making it
into wax for cells, he will now furnish
them with ready-made comb, thus
multiplying his honey output three or
four times. When he wants some new
honey, he will remove sponge, put it
in cider press, and having squeezed
out the liquid sweetness, he will re-
place the sponge in the hive to be fill
ed again.-New York Sun.
