CONDITION IS BETTER.
Past Week There Has Been a
Decided Change
IN PROSPECTS OF COTTON.
1t VIII Revuire, However, Fully Three
Weeks of Suitable Weather For the
Fleecy Staple to Reach the Growth
That la Desired.

New Orleans, June 1.-THE Plea
yune says: Hot, dry, windy weather
during the past week has marked a
change in cotton crop conditions in
Louisiana and the southern half of
Mississippi, according to reports re-
ceived by the Picayune. In some sec
months without rain, and the first OPP
portunity in forty days that the farm
ers have had to do field work. Not.
withstanding this, the crop is from
five to six weeks late, and is yet
grassy, and shows poor stands in some
localities. This is both the result of
the long period of unfavorable wealth
er and also the lack of competent la
Dor. The plant has undoubtedly re-
covered to some extent and is rapidly
recuperating. 1t will require three
weeks to get the crop in normal con-
d1ton, and this period must be free
OF excessive rain in order to attain
this result. Some of the cotton is too
grassy to be saved, even under the
most favorable weather conditions
From now on there will be practically
no replanting. planters redoubling
their efforts in an endeayor to bring
to fruition the present stands. A late
frost next fall is absolutely necessary.
Some section estimate that the crop
will not exceed go per cent of last
years, considering the general con-
dition of the plant and acreage reduc-
ton forced by inability to plont at the
proper season. Reports state that the
abandonment of rea runs from to
10 per cent. Although water is falling
slowly in the lowlands, nevertheless
a considerable area is still inundated.
Boil weevils are eating the buds
and leaves of the young plants in Nat
chitoches parish. Louisiana. The pest
is also doing some damage In st. Tam
many parish. Insects of a different
nature are reported in Kinds county,
In Red River parish,
Louisiana, from to 20 per cent of the
land is in poor shape on account of
boil weevil rayages.

Judge Brooks Grants Request
Of the State.

Austin, June 1.-THE application OF
the state for the appointment of re
ceiver for the Waters-Pierce Oil com
pany was granted by Judge Brooks in
defense then gave notice of appeal to
the court of civil appeals for the Third
supreme judicial district court As
the court held that this application
was supplemental to the original pc
tition in the case, a separate appeal
from that of the custer and penalties
will be taken. The court invited the
attorneys for the state and defense to
consultation and informed them that
he contemplated appointing Robert J,
Eckhardt, cashier OF the First Nation.
al Bank of Taylor The suggestion was
made that two receivers be appointed
and the judge stated he would take ii
under advisement until Wednesday.
In granting the application Of the
state, the court delivered himself OF
a severe arraignment of the alleged
business methods of the Waters Pierce
Oil company. He said that the state
of the antitrust law, and that defend
ant had the right to appeal, pending
which, under the law, there were no
grounds for the appointment OF re
ceiver because of the mere rendition OF
judgment, but that he was informed
of all the circumstances and that the
defendant, from its inception to the
present time, had no intention to obey
the law, but on the contrary, its lead
ing counsel q. j. Johnson) had stated
openly that it expected to continue in
business. employing the same instru-
mentalities which the jury had found
to be in violation of the law; there
fore, the court would place these meth
DDS and instrumentalities in the hands
of a receiver.
The defense made argument against
the appointment of receiver. and
when the state rose to reply the court
Indicate it would be a mere waste Of
time, as he had arrived at conclu-
sion in the matter.
Just before the conclusion Of the
proceedings the court indicated very
strongly to the attorneys for the de
Tense that he was not asking advice
as to who he shall appoint, but was
willing to hear objections to the mar
he contemplated appointing. This wa
prompted by the counsel for the de
Tense, who declared they had some one
in mind for receiver.
