q. F. ohnston-Conditions about 70 per cent. Plant very sappy and liable to rapid deterioration under adverse weather conditions. Under average conditions crop will likely be IS per cent from last year. Under ideal con ditions, it might not be more than 10 per cent. Prospects for food stuffs very promising. As to price. cannot say. A great deal more than the peo- | pie of the South is involved in deter | mining the value of cotton intrinsi- cally or otherwise.
 ! Calhoun, w. l.. Jones-Some sec tions suffering badly for rain. Black rust appearingin some localities. Some | fields shedding considerably. Under ideal or favorable conditions from now on the crop can hardly exceed S5 per cent of normal yield. Price for this crop should be from 13 1-2 to 15 cents. Corn Is fairly good.

 Chiffon, F. A. Gulledge-Corn ana other food crops about S5 per cent. Early cotton on old land is done with hree-uuarters crop.

CT until October 1 would give us 7o per cent Of a crop Many insist on only ~0nG-nafE 0I GOICOH CEOps dStQ WhNA w weeks more of such weather as the present, such would be the cage. The minimum price should be 15 cents, ba- sis middling.
