farmers who have been in the city during
the past few days gave out the statement
that the condition Of cotton so far Is very
good, and IL the weather continues as now
and there is no more rain the yield will be
very fair. The effect OF the rain thus fnr
has been to cause cotton to grow some
what rank with weeds. But little damage
has been done by boil worms. If there
should be further rains damage from this
source will be quite heavy. 1t is estimated
that cotton from this section VIII not
