larger than 1t would have been had the

of the crop is above ground.
EASTERN DISTRICT.
Planting is going forward slowly with
only slight increase contemplated; re
planting is necessary in portions of the
district, as the stand TO the cotton which
is up is not good. The supply of seed
varies In different counties but as n rule
there will be none to spare in case any
great disaster overtakes the crop.
WESTERN DISTRICT.
Not much cotton is grown In either this
section or In the Northwestern district.
There will be an increase In the acreage
