over-estimated, but since the facts and
far-reaching extent of this disaster has
become known, we now unhesitatingly
state that il is a most serious matter,
not only in the delay that has taken
place, but in view of the still unsettled
state of the weather; the immense area
that requires new preparation; the losy
of fertilizers which had already been dis
tributed, and which cannot now be re-
placed, as none can be had, even If time
were given to replace, and the scarcity
of seed just at this time, taken all to-
gether do not present the situation in a
very rosy light.
1t is now utterly impossible, in the dis
tricts referred to, even with the most fav-
orable weather, to complete planting in
the entire cotton belt before May Is.
This, we all know, is a late start, and
while ID is well enough to bear in mind
that perfect weather conditions might be
had after that date, we must also not for
get that with late start, Id Is necessary
to have such conditions IN order to OBJ
