Editor Chieftain:
In the January and Octobe

the parents and patrons relative
thereto. These articles referred

system and "home study" out OF

and applicable in their places, and
we heartily endorse the principles
involved, yet it is to other things
we wish to call the attention of the
parents in our midst, more partic-
ularly the mothers-for largely in
their hands lies the direction of
the child's education in its youth
ful years. AS the editor of the
Home Journal says. ut is time
for some direct evidence that the
American parent has awakened to
an interest in the schooling of the
child, and intends hereafter to

CROP PROSPECTS GLOOMY.
The Tobacco Crop Almost Cut Off in Many
Sections,

Gin your list CT crop conditions print
ed today said Commissioner Patterson
yesterday, ''the present condition of to-
bacco was put down at 81. This is a
mistake. The replies from correspondents
have been so unsatisfactory on this line
that l have been unable to make a defin-
lite statement Of the tobacco crops con-
dition. For instance, one correspondent
writes that it is normal year for tobac-
co; that it places his estimate at 100,
while another man from almost the same
section will say the crop is 25 per cent.
off. And from such conflicting reports
it is almost impossible to make any sat
isfactory estimate as to the average con-
dition CT the crop. The reason for these
contradictory answers is that the rains
this past month have been so variable.
Certain sections have had plenty of rain
and good seasons. while a section only
a few miles off has had continuous and
ruincus drought Another thing that also
makes the replies enigmatical is that in
many sections only about half a crop is
planted. And from these places espe-
cially do 1 get gloomy reports. AS near
as I can get it, the present condition of
tobacco should be about 20.
Inc july eSJIlHdIc III UOIu Illc oldIS
and the Government was so. For August
that CT the United States was 80; that of
the State is 81, and, considering the de-
crease in acreage, this means only 20
per cent. of last years. But later re-
turns show that s. per cent. is nearer the
true COMPARISON.
THE crop prospects are not encouraging
July showed decrease in condition, aug
merted in August in most sections. The
summer has been en- unusual one; eX-
cessive rains in some places, followed by
drought; in other sections an unbroken
drought for two months, and in some
small areas favorable seasons.
Cotton is estimated at IS, the United
States estimate being So Corn is rs;
Government estimate. 50. But the Gov
eminent report cn returns to August
/, while this State report is on much
later returns, and during the interval
there was q steady decline.
"All the crops are far from promising.
Some counties show average crops; others
a decrease to ttreefourths or even one
half an average. Late private reports
show an even verse condition in a few
parched counties"
