WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The monthly
report of the statistican of the de-
partment of agriculture shows the

to have been 77.2 as compared with
S1.1 on the 25th of the preceding
month, rs on August l, 1900, "a on
August /, 1899, and tenyear average
of ST.
There was an Improvement OF condi
tions during July amounting to .
points in Georgia; points in South
Carolina, in Alabama and Mississ-
ippi, and s in Virginia On the other
hand there was a decline of 19 points
in Missouri, 10 in Arkansas and Ten
nessee 13 in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, II in Texas, 7 in Florida, 4
in North Carolina and in Louisiana
The impairment in condition is
largely due to drouth, but in por
ton of the eastern section of the cot
ton belt it is attributable to the prey
aleuce of excessive rain during
large part of the month. While The
condition of Mississippi is 3 points
