DECREASE IN COTTON ACREAGE 1,57O,s85 ACRES
Is Four and Seven Tenths Per Cent Smaller Than Las
Year. Average Time of Planting Eight Days Later.

Latham, Alexander & Co., bankers
and cotton commission merchants of
New York, under date of June list,
1909, furnish The Dawson News the
following estimate of the cotton
acreage of the United States:
With the view of obtaining the
most reliable information possible
concerning the cotton acreage of the
United States for 1909 we dressed
j,0O0 letters to banks, bankers, cot
ton commission merchants and re-
sponsible planters, embracing every
cotton growing county in the south,
asking acreage estimates.
Up to this date We have secured
1906 replies, of average date May
25th The total estimated decrease
of cotton acreage in the United
States for 1909 is '47 per cent, or
1,570,9S5 acres less than last year.
and the average planting of the crop
is eight days later than last year.
The normal tendency to increase
the cotton acreage from year to year
has been checked this season by the
determination to increase the acre
age in small grains, due to the high
prices prevailing for all kinds of pro-
visions. This is less apparent in
Texas, where the drouth conditions
prevented early planting of grain.
The reports to lis complain gener-
ally of the low temperatures extend
ing well into May, retarding the
growth of the plant and causing ir-
regular stands, and the .protracted
wet weather has interfered with the
cultivation, so that grassy conditions
prevail
In Texas the crop is late owing to
the absence of moisture early in the
season, and the late termination of
the seed; but beneficial rains finally
covered the cotton-producipg section
Of the state, causing marked inn
prOvement.
The continued excessive rainfall in
the central belt makes the present
outlook gloomy for that section, and
may cause some abandonment of
acreage.
The spread of the boil weevil to
the lower Mississippi valley has
caused apprehension and 'curtailment
of cotton acreage in that section.
Dry, forcing weather is necessary
to promote the growt of the plant
and permit proper cultivation.

ECLIPSE WAS NOT VISIBLE
Jupiter Took Hand, and Dark
Clouds Spread Around
Miss Luna.

Smoked glass and other home
made instruments for astronomical
observations were relegated to the
scrap pile in disgust Thursday night
by Dawsonians. The much heralded
eclipse of the moon was not visible
here but very little at any stage of
the game
Early in the day Miss Luna and
Jupiter Flnvius had quarreled.
When Jupiter called on Luna the
latter said she was too busy getting
ready for her big show at night to
see him.
That made Jupiter so angry he
went forth and wept nightly. He
dried his tears toward evening, but
wore such a heavy frown for the
next few hours that hardly none of
the celestial bodies We're visible.
AS far as many here know there
might not have been an eclipse. But
we have the word of eminent as
tronomers that it came off as had
been predicted. The eclipse be-
gan about SAB o'clock. The moon
was totally invisible about 8 o'clock,
and this period lasted for one hour.
At 1914 O'Clock it was all over.
