COTTON CROP HAS
 MADE PROGRESS
ESTIMATE OF CONDITION FOR THIS WEEK SHOWS OVER FIF- TEEN PER CENT IMPROVEMENT FOR MONTH.

Decatur, August S.-(special) )-The lat est estimates place the cotton crop of this section of the state at about 75 per cent of the crop of last year. With a late frost it is thought that the crop may be even better than the present estimates would indicate, This estimate is from fifteen to twenty per cent higher than the estimates of three weeks ago. This is due to the fact that the past ten days has witnessed a marked improvement in the condition of the cotton crop in this section of the state.
 The plant is rather small for this sea- son of the year, but it is strong and healthy, and at no time during the season has the plant been bothered with insects of any kind The crop is clean and free from grass and weeds. having been well cultivated and laid by in fine condition.
 The crop is from two to three weeks late in this section and it will be at least the mudle of September before much picking is done. The indications are that labor for picking will be sufficient in most localities of this section of the state.
 Here in North Alabama the Farmers union will play a leading part in the movement of the cotton crop this fall and winter The union is well organized and strong in this section of the state. AL most every farmer and planter is mem Der of the union. A number of large ware houses have been built throughout North Alabama by the union, and members of this organizatio say that they intend to store their cotton in these warehouses and keep it there until they are satisfied with the price before selling. The union has made arrangements to borrow money on cotton for those farmers who are com pelled to have money before the price Of cotton suits them.
