Montgomery, Ala, July 81, 1909.
Dear SirS:
THE basis or unit of comparison is
100. which is the standard of full con-
ness, exemption from injury from in
sects or drought or other causes, with
average growth and development.
100 means a prospect for full crop"
We quote the above definition of the
Agricultural Bureau with reference to
the numerous percentage condition es-
Inmates which are being published and
will be Issued by the various statisti-
clans. from time to time, AS these es-
Inmates can only be a compilation of
report received from correspondents
and as there undoubtedly still exists a
great confusion of IDEAS as to what
tween them are readily accounted for
and the accuracy of any one of them
must be for this reson highly profile
NAUTICAL.
We submit the above for the rea-
son that accounts coming to hand from
the various sections of our State con-
tinue to show a great disparity as to
prospects and the advancement of the
crop even when applied to localities
in close proximity. Apart from this
misleading percentage question, the
different prospects, however are no
doubt to great extent accounted for
by the difference in the cultivation by
the intelligent and thrifty farmer com.
pared with the lapses of his INDECENT
and careless neghbor.
Taking 1t as a whole, however the
crop in our State has made further
satisfactory progress. greater in fact
than had been considered possible by
experienced farmers; and while the
plant in those sections, In which the
fight to overcome the grass was a long,
and strenuous one. Is still much be-
hind lat season, other sections show
normal advancement and promise very
we'll indeed.
Towards the latter part of the month
complaints about insuf1ciency of mois-
ture were beginning to come in, but
the situation has been relieved by time
ly rains and in some places the rainfall
has been rather copious
During the whole month of July
prospects for a fair average crop have
continually improved.
Yours very truly,
