spite the considerable increase of
cultivated lands the acreage of
cotton is less than last year, ex-
streme estimates being Is per
cent less. The stand was good
and the progress normal but
there has been a succession of
cold rains which have put the
plant in bad shape. This is par
ticularly so for the northern part
of the Indian cotton belt-less so
for the southern portion.
Commercial fertilizers are prac-
tically unknown here. There
has been no boil weevil proven.
We are thought to be too far
north for serious trouble from
from that source. Labor is
abundant for the crop planted.
Mules and horses have been pur-
chased in great numbers, but
most of these for the various
purposes of a rapidly developing
country. Bottom lands are likely
to cling to cotton, but the higher
lands will be devoted to consider
able diversity of crop.
