COTTON CONDITION DECLINED
THREE AND SIN-TENTIIS poJN'rS
LOST IN LAST MONTH

New York, Aug. 29.-The Journal
Of Commerce will tomorrow publish
its monthly cotton report. made up of
replies from nearly 1900 correspon-
dents Of average date Of August 20.
1t makes the condition 1919 as against
i1.5 last month, decline Of SO
points. On the corresponding date
in 1906 the condition was 77.6 in 1905
it was IA, and in 1904 it was IA.
The decline Of 3.6 points is due al
most entirely 90 Texas, which fell off
lO.4 points owing 10 drought and boil
weevil. The only other States of any
magnitude which showed declines
were Louisiana, with a 2.6 point fall
and Arkansas. with a 0.3 point loss.
Notable advances were North Caro-.
lima with 4.6 points. South Carolina
2.2 points, Georgia points, Alabama
2.1 and Oklahoma 55 points.
Texas and parts Of Arkansas and
Louisiana have suffered severely from
drought, but with the exception OF
boil weeVil and boil worms in Texas,
and serious damage in some other
states. the crop has generally made
good progress. Weather conditions as
rule being average, though some
sections received too much rain while
others have had too little. The plant
is generally small, but is strong and
healthy, we'll fruited, unusually free
from insects and in a good state of
cultivation. Shedding IS complcined
Of. but in a lesser degree than usual
for this season of the year.
The most serious feature Of the
crop is its backwardness being two to
four weeks late, which makes a good
yield dependent on late frosts Pick
ing has commenced in a few localities,
but it will not be general till Septem-
Der l to Is. Scarcity of labor is not
complained of to any appreciable ex-

BOIL WEEVIL SCARE

Inc Columbia State says: Mr.. B. F.
laylor, secretary of the South Caro-
lima Cotton Seed Crushers' associa-
lon, said yesterday that, if the repor,
should prove true concerning the
Doll Weevil. the method of introduc-
ton into the state is not hard To find
Ever since last May, when the short.
age IN the cotton seed hull supply in
this State became apparent brokers
and dealers have been buying hulls
from the west
1T is impossible to tell where these
hulls come from, as many of them
were reshipped from Atlanta. The oil
mills realized the danger and discuss
ed the matter frequently and finally
decided TO refuse to buy any of the
western hulls.
Cotton seed hulls offer an ideal
method for the Information Of the boil
weev!l and if these hulls are produced
from an infected seed or in a terri
tory infected by the wevil it is all
most a certainty that the hulls will
have numbers Of the pests in them.
The proper step should be to quaran-
tine against any hulls or agricultural
product shipped from infected terri
tory. The department of agriculture
should look closely after this, and
especially after hull shipments, he
says.
There is a poor sale for hulls in
Texas and the, prices ruling in this
State for this product offer an unus-
ual opportunity for brokers, dealers
and manufacturers to ship the hulls
from infected territory into this State
at a handsome profit. The freight
rates from the west also encourage
such shipments.
Laurens is in the midst of the great
est hull using section of the state and
prices are higher in that section than
anywhere-at places the hulls are
selling at SIS per ton--it is no sur
prise therefore that the report about
the boil weevil should come ESpe-
cially when the dealers in hulls are
not patriotic enough to refuse the
western shipments.
Parties have been known to go to
the railroads asking for a reduction
in rates from the west so that they
At the urgent request of the oil mill

are positively known to have come
