CONDITION or COTTON
ESiimaaed That Texas Cotton prodaciioa
win be 2,ssl,l9O Bales.

Below is a summary of the Dallas
News report on the condition of
cotton up to and including Septem-
Der "a:
In Texas proper the yield per acre
already realized or probable to be
realized, is 5225 per cent smaller than
in 1903.
In Indian Territory, II per cent
larger.
In Oklahoma, l6H per cent larger.
Taking into consideration the IN
creased acreage, these reports indi-
cate that production will be as fol-
lows:
Texas proper, 314 per cent more
than last year, or :, sol 400 bales.
Indian Territory, 46 per cent more,
or 456, 434 bales.
Texas and Indian Territory, S.S
per cent more, or 3,00S ,924 bales.
Oklahoma, 55 per cent more, or
2gS 46S bales
The reports indicate that since the
date OF the News August report
there has been further deterioration
of the crop, principally in eastern
/ Texas and the western districts, due
| TO boil weevils, boil worms, leaf
worms, drouth and, 10 some in
stances, to excessive rains. Coun-
| terbalancing In part the loss from
| this depreciation is the realization
of yields larger than were antici-
pated in some of the counties cen
| trail in the Red River belt, aud also
| in some of the central Texas eoun-
ties, which in 1903 suffered great
damage from insect pests.
In some portions of Indian and
Oklahoma Territories the crop has
deteriorated siderably, in part
because Of worms, and in the west
! ern section. because of drouth.
Still the crops in those territories
N aintain high average.
In some of the counties Of south
ern Texas picking has been CON
cluded, and in all that district it is
far adv anced. Except in the west
| ern portion, where the altitude is
high, practically all Of the crop is
open, and scarcity Of pickers is al
most uniformly reported. A very
considerable proportion of the crop
| is Of the early maturing varieties
the lint of which does not cling SO
tenaciously to the burr as does that
| of storm proof" cotton, and fears
are expressed that should bad
weather set in, much of the the pro-
duct may be lost. However, the
conditions tor picking have been
and are as rule good.
! The reports indicate that the
/ plant is not effectively frniting any
where in Texas save in the north
ernmost portion Of the state, where
new fruitage will not mature unless
killing frost rs postponed until late
/ in the season. Elsewhere boil
weevils and leaf worms, and in
some instances dry weather, are
preventing the formation or reten-
ton OF fruit, and almost uniformly
the prospects for a top crop are re-
ported nil There is one exception.
