I Jackson, W. M. McCutchen--A large corn crop is practically assured. Cot I ton is doing very we'll, but cannot make | up for unusual lateness and bad stand, l Lamar, Judge Bradley-Foodstuffs I may reach 70 per cent. Cotton 50 per ] cent. @
 l Lawrence, c. M. Sherrod-Cotton crop | good but from two to four weeks late. | Plant fruiting splendidly and now only | a question of late frost to insure ] larger crop than last year Corn is an average crop. Want of rain seriously cut off yield which at one time prom | Ised to be very large. With average l frost we should make 80 per cent of a | cotton crop. Crop should average l3 1 cents.
 Jourd White-Crops are still promis- | ing, especially corn and all food crops. 1 Cotton has fine weed but poorly fruit | ed Farmers report drought of last ten I days very damaging. Stalk willing and bolls falling off. With a. late frost 1t is believed we will get 75 per cent l of a crop of cotton.
 Lowndes, E. F. Goldsmith-Cotton crop 50 per cent. Corn crop may be average Late corn failure. Can't see how we can get above 55 per cent of a good crop nor more than 60 per cent of an average crop.
 w E. Carlisle-Prospectsa are now for
  Fifteen cents Is a conservative price for crop.
 E Farrior-Condition of cotton crop in this section indicates 60 per cent of average crop. The minimum price should be 15 cents.
 Macon, F. A. Vernon-Condition of cotton crop 50 per cent. Food crops, 80 per cent. Cotton to average up things should bring Is cents.
 c. W. Hare-Cotton will barely go over 70 per cent in the major portion ot this county. No such shedding has been known in former years.
 Madison, N. M. Rowe-Cotton late but with late frost and favorable weather we may expect 70 per cent of nor mai crop. Corn crop with late frost and good seasons 90 per cent. of an average crop. Peas millet and hay crops good We ought to have 15 cents for cotton this fall.
 W. A. Sanford-Price ought to be 12 1-2 cents, but If early frost 15 cents,l
 Marion Mack Pearce-Cotton cropl 60 per cent. Corn crop, 80 per cent. Pea crop. 50 per cent. Potatoes, 65 per cent. All vegetables are materially damaged on account of dry weather.
 Marshall, T. M. Patterson-Cotton 30 days late. With late frost will make three-quarters of crop. With early frost, one-half crop. Early corn good.
 Monroe, McCreary & Co.-Cotton is shedding and rusting badly. 70 per cent. would be outside guess for crop through this section. Fourteen to IS cents would be a reasonable price un- der present conditions. Corn, peas, po- tatoes and cane are fairly good.
 Montgomery, c. W. Hails-Cotton crop has gone to pieces--due to rapid growth of plant during wet weather in spring. and inability of short tap root to afford necessary moisture to with stand hot, dry weather that has pre- vailed.
 Montgomery, Charles L. Gay-Dry weather is causing oeterioration. Mois- ture is badly needed except in favored spots. Minimum price for yield should be 13 cents.
 Perry, R. A. Hardie-owing to con- tinued drouth I do not think the cot ton crop will exceed 65 per cent. The hills particularly have suffered greatly Under present conditions the price of cotton should be 12 Co 15 cents.
 J. F. Suttle-Cotton on red and sand lands have quit making in this section with about 65 per cent. of crop. Prai- ries are still doing something. with a promise of 70 per cent. on lands that have been worked. Corn crops are very good.
 W. H. Tayloe-Cotton, corn and food stuffs not over 70 per cent.
 Pike Judge A. E. Edmondson-Cot- ton not doing so well. especially late cotton, on account of too much mois- ture followed by hot, dry weather. Our yield average about last year. All food crops in this section are very fine. Under present condition cotton ought to sell for IS cents on an aver age.
 Russell. Judge H. T. Benton--The continued dry weather has almost ruin ed the cotton crop. A half crop now IS as much as we can expect in Rus sell. Corn is good and very little will have to be bought next year. Hay ia fine. I think 12 1-2 cents per pound should be had for this crop. St. Clair, w. w. Winn-An crops have deteriorated in the last twenty days for want of moisture. Very dry | and hot. We do not expect to make more than 65 per cent in either corn or cotton. Other crops about the same. Under present conditions the South ought to maintain price of 15 cents | for this crop.
 Shelby. M. F. Holmes-On account of hot, dry weather. cotton and food crops off very much. Some black rust | in cotton; 45 per cent. average; 70 per cent under ideal conditions. Fifteen l cents very conservative. Twenty cents would be nearer right. Sumter, W. E. McGowan-Corn 7S per cent. More hay saved than ever
 before in county. Cotton has suffered from worms and shedding. ,Drouth has
 ruined young cotton; 70 per cent. high est possible yield. Fifteen cents would
 be a fair price.
 Tallapoosa R. s. Nolen- -West-Pres-
 ent condition indicate we will not make
 more than SO per cent. of a crop. Corn
 and other crops 50 per cent. off on ac-
 count of dry weather We should
 maintain a price of 14 cents.
 B. H. walker. East-Cotton has
 greatly deteriorated in last ten days. Young forms destroyed by insects iu great quantities. Not over 50 per cent
 can be expected. We have instructed
 not less than IS cents, Food crops av- |
