ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Below will be found the reports OF Post
correspondents on the present condition Of
the cotton crop In Texas Taken as
whole the reports do not sustain the great
dnmage stories which have recently been
sont out OF the State aud, all things taken
into consideration, are rather encouraging
The general drouth which has existed over
tho cotton growing portion of the state
has stunted the plant, but majority OF
the reports state that 1t is well fruited
and is healthy. While tue fact that much
of the crop Is blooming at the TOP Is COM
Inented on as indicating that the plant has
stopped growing and the reports Of she'd
ding are numerous. there are about as
many reports saying that the plant Is put
ting on new growth. careful reading by
counties does not evidence that the worst
has happened or Is likely TO happen. From
several counties there are gloomy reports.
hny the glowing ones are in the majority.
OF course n good rain over all sections
or Che State, except In the Southern and
southeastern would be of great benefit,
but outside few counties In the Central
district such rain Is not an absolute neces-
sity for making Il good crop. Former re-
ports have shown an increase In the acre
ago of between and per cent. Tho
present reports show that the plant has not
done its best and Indicate that the yield
win be less than last year Though, or
course, this IS simply speculation based on
present conditlons) greater percentage
than the increased acreage, except In the
South and South Central districts whe e
the yield will lie material increase on a
decreased acreage. Taking the State as a
whole and considering all the factors IL
is quite probable that the crop now max
Ing viii be fully equal to that just mar
keted In other words, the Increased acre
age In some sections and the Increased
yield in others VIII Offset the effects Of
the drouth. which consist principally In
giving the plant less weed, more taproo'
and as many bols ON smaller surface.
Some OF the small counties In the North
west complain OF damage by grasshoppers
but this will not materially affect th
whole crop IN the boil weeyl disric
