ALLCOUNTIES MAKE RECORI

Montgomery, October 9.-(Special.)- )-In report made today of the cotton crop conditions in the state up to October 1, President w. H. Seymour of the State Cotton Growers association shows that the condition as compared to last year year at 100. On his estimate the crop of the year will be 976,56S, as compared to over a million last year..
 He has reports from every county and in many cases several from single eoun- ty. They all show that 75 per cent of the crop is open and that 60 per cent of 1t is picked. All the returns indicate that the farmers are holding the staple and that very little has been sold for less than 10 cents.
 Taken as a whole, MT. Seymour is very much encouraged to believe that the Ala bama raisers will see to it that none of the crop is marketed to the loss of the raisers and the embarrassment of those who do want to hold.
 There is much of criticism here for the action of Col E. s. Peters of Texas, de- posed vice president of the National as- socation who has been advising farmers to sell. He is regarded as not in the least in sympathy with the men behind the plows
 The report by counties received by MT. Seymour is as follows:
