WEATHER AND CROPS
Rapid Picking of the. Remnant of Cot
ton and Prompt Marketing.

The past week has shown ideal fall
weather. There has been no frost of
consequence in the cotton belt, and, as
the temperature has been propitious, the
late planted cotton has made some pro-
gress in the western section of the belt.
Some top crop will now be secured, it
is believed, if frost is delayed few
weeks longer. Even in the central and
eastern portions of the belt the crop
has done better. Of course. there is 70
prospect that the yield will be very ma
terially added to. but in a season like
the present even small addition is to
be welcomed.
The weather has facilitated the rapid
picking of the remnant of the crop, as
well as its prompt marketing. 1t is gen.
orally believed that larger percentage
of the total crop has been picked, ginned
and marketed up to the present time
than in any recent year. The high price:
prevailing have held out every incen,
tive to the rapid harvesting and market.
ing of cotton, hence the large move
ment to market is not regarded as any
indication of the size of the yield.

THE EAST AGAINST RIVER I'M
PRONEMENT.

1t seems that no, steps should be taken
to improve the Mississippi river and
other waterways unless the East is con-
suited and its approval of the projects
secured, however essential the improve
ments may be to the development and
prosperity of the vast territory known
as the Mississippi valley. But there is
no reason to believe that the East will
approve the demands made by the re-
cent Waterways Congress, for the New
York Sun declares that: There is
something pathetic in the spectacle of
the good natured President of the
United States being conveyed in state
down the Mississippi river in steam
boat to promote sordid scheme to ex-
tract millions of dollars from the tax
payers of the country, y,'-New Orleans
States
Why should the East favor the inn
provement of the Mississippi river
The East has never favored any i'm
provement which would operate to its
disadvantage.

BEWARE OF FIFTEEN CENT
COTTON,

Colfax Chronicle: Cotton has reached
the I5-cent mark, but that should be no
reason for our farmers putting in big
crop of cotton next season. 1t should
make them very conservative, because
a small crop means big price Then
there is the ever-present boil weevil
menace. The only safe plan lies in the
raising of plenty of hog and hominy
and the usual accessories that go to
make up a palatable dinner, such as
beans. peas, potatoes, molasses, and al
the other truck that makes home living
pleasant and profitable.
