A WEEK OF GOOD WEATHER
Cotton Crop Made Progress Rainfall
and Temperature Beneficial.

uhu dbhl otApANAhAs
Memphis, Tenn. Weather conditions
highly favorable to the growth OF the
cotton plant prevailed the past week
throughout the South, excep: in those
few localities where the rainfall was
too heavy. Under high temperatures,
with an abundance of moisture, the
plant made considerable growth.
The plant is still very small, how
ever, over more than two-thirds of the
cotton-producing territory and from
two to four weeks late. Blooms are
late everywhere, and in the hill Sec
tions the small plant seems to need
much growth before producing them.
In the central cotton belt stands are
irregular.
Texas reports an increase in the
number of boil weevils and a late crop.
Rapid progress was made during the
week, however, the high temperature
being beneficial, The week in the
eastern States was the most favorable
of the season and much progress is
reported,
Except in tke sections infested by
weevil, the sole complaint may be said
to lie in the lateness of the crop.

Brumby has not yet decided what he
will do in regard to quarantining of

upon the part Of many that State Health

now has that matter under considera-
