WHITE UNTO THE HARVEST.
Texas Crop Virtually All Open. Har-
vest Rushing and Being Sold

Tuesday morning the Dallas News
published reports from $50 CORES
pondents in the cotton producing ter
ritory of Texas and Oklahoma, all
of which were written on Sept. s.
These show that upon that date the
condition of the crop in Texas was
400 per cent worse than upon the
corresponding day in 1908, and in
Oklahoma 80 per cent worse. sum-
mary of the report is as follows:
At this time the cotton fields are
veritable white unto the harvest
over practically the entire state of
! Texas, long continued drouth, ex-
cessive heat and hot winds having
FASTENED the partial crop to matur-
itv, at the same time cutting off
the probability of further fruiting.
This condition is the rule and not
the exception There are a very few
counties in which favorable condl-
tions prevail, there are only limit
ed number in which the damage is
1 aScilDeu TO causes Olnef IMAM thoSe
above named.
Thirteen counties show better
condition than last year, nine as
good condition; the comparisons
in these cases, however, are with a
poor condition last year. The only
counties showing q really good con-
dition are along the Red river front,
and in these the prospects for an
abnormal crop have vanished. The
storm OF July p, is largely respon-
sible for the low condition in several
South Texas counties.
The reports show that cotton is
being picked as rapidly as possible
and is being ginned and sold as rap
idly as picked, the prices FOR both
cotton and seed being attractive and
such as to offset the short yield in
MANY places. In a few localities gins
are not running because of lack
of water.
