IS Per cent. in South
Southern Cotton Association
Issues Report Based on
Statements from
Farmers.

New Orleans, May 31.-The
Southern Cotton Association to-
day issued it's cotton acreage re.
port. The report is as follows:
"The estimated acreage for
1904, as indicated by the report
of the United States government,
amounted to 31,730,00O acres.
THE decrease in the acreugl
for 1905, as shown by the tabu-
lated statement herewith, which
was ascertained from 1884 in
dividual reports from farmers,
merchants, bankers, and others,
throughout the cotton belt, fixes
the acreage this year at rs, $780,
951 acres, decrease of 1913 per
cent. and 1905 per cent. ia fer
filters.
"The report on the decrease in
the cotton acreage and the use of
commercial fertilizers under cot
ton for 1905 was compiled from
reliable statistics gathered by
the the various state and territor-
ial presidents of the association
and tabu1ated at New Orleans,
La, May 81, 1905, by the presl-
dent and secretary of the South
ern Cotton association and Col.
H. G. Hester, of New Orleans,
with the assistance and cooper
atoms of the presidents of the
state and territorial division.
The condition of the crop as re-
ported for Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, the territories and
portions of Mississippi are UNI
precented1y bad. Much of the
acreage reported in those states
being yet implanted and large
tracts either under water or bad
1y washed by heavy rains.
I'm the eastern portion of the
cotton belt the fields generally
are grassy, the cotton still uu-
chopped and labor scarce
throughout the entire belt. The
officers of the association ex-
pressed the highest commend
alton of the loyalty of the farm
ers, throughout the cotton ter
ritory ia so fully living up to
their promises and pledges. in
bringing about so material a re-
duction in the cotton acreage and
use of commercial fertilizers un-
der cotton for 1905"
''They have fully exemplifed
their ability to accomplish great
results and to save their CO nntry
from financial ruin in the face OF
impending disaster. The pres
ent demand for cotton is unpre-
cedented, and with firm aud de-
termined stand higher prices for
the staple will be secured in the
near future

This was the first day sinse the
fever appeared here in which there
was any apparent depression in the
community, and there were two rea-
sons for it. One was the death of
Archbishop Chappelle, who succumbed
to an attack of the prevailing illness,
and the other was the general closing
of stores in accordance with the
mayors proclamation urging every
body in the city to devote the day to
a general home cleaning-up. While
the death of the
Distinguished PreIate
is deplored because of the loss which
the community sustains, it is also re-
GREETED because of the effect it will
have upon the outside world. 1t is
feared that it will cause the belief to
spread that conditions here are real
ly much worse than they are.
The body of Archbishop Chappelle
was transferred from his residence at
Esplanade venue to st. Johns cathe-
dral, where it is lying in state. The
obsequies will take place Saturday at
the cathedral. There will be a Gre
gorian requiem high mass sung, every

Quite a number of the new cases
are in close proximity to existing sub

The new sub-foci are evenly divided,
six being above and six below Canal

tent is a we'll known citizen. In the
death list all but one of the names
indicate foreign origin, showing no
variation from the preceding records.
News outside of the city shows that
there are only two new cases at Pat
