COMMISSIONER POOLE ISSUES 4
 REPORT.
Crop Late but Correspondents Say Il Is Promising and Farmers are Hopeful--s0utheast Alabama
 Without Rain

The monthly report of the Agricuitu- ral Department of Alabama Issued yes
 terday by Commissioner Poole. shows that although the cotton crop is two weeks late, Tit Is promising and has been improved by recent rains:
 we have received reports from six hundred of our correspondents" says the report, -four hundred and seventy five of them say that the weather con ditions have been favorable to the growth and cultivation of crops during the past two weeks, while 125 report that their sections are still without sufffcient rain. The month of May was
 too dry and cool for plant growth
 During the latter part of the month.
 however, good rains fell in many sec tions of the State. though some were not so blessed. The rain fall at some of the stations will show the varia- tions:
 For the month of May Montgomery got 3. Al inches, Tuscaloosa, .24; Clan ton, 1.54; Birmingham, 2.l9; Madison. 2.71;. Marion, 2.s2: Evergreen, 2.43; Highland Home, l .96: Union Springs. |. .s5: EufauIa. 1.37: Ozark. 0.es.
 For the first nine days in June the following rainfall has been reported Montgomery. 1.5o; Selma, 1.6S; Good water. 0.66: Cianton. o.40: Opelika.
 .62; Union Springs. TO: Eufaula. .22; Ozark, ,0o. These figures show that the rainfall has not been general as some seem to think. Southeast Ala bama is still without rain and 1t is very badly needed there. This part of the State Is now one of the most im- portant cotton producing sections and the conditions there must be taken into account in any crop report of the State.
 Three hundred and forty correspon- dents report the cotton crop good; 22O report 1t fair. and forty bad. The crop is two weeks late owing to conditions in May, but Is now very promising. Cultivation has been clean and the plant is making rapid growth. The crop as a whole is in better condition than it was on this date last year.
 Corn is reported. almost without exception, as being in fine condition. and the prospects are now for a largo yield.
 Fall sown oats have done we'll though spring sown are generally poor. All fruits are doing we'll and there will be an abundant yield. With the pres ent prospects for large corn and cot ton yield Alabama farmers should be in fine spirits"
