 THE AVERAGE.

 Reports from correspondents of the Commercial Appeal, under date of May 25, show that the acreage planted to cotton this spring exceeds that planted in 1909 about 3.3 per cent. It is estimated that 88 per cent of the total area had come up to stand on this date, planting, except in isolated instances, being completed.
 Between May Ii and May 22 rains fell in all cotton producing territory, and were highly beneficial, although accompanied by abnormal low temper atures. What is needed now is warm, dry weather.
 "The land was prepared well, and correspondents are of the opinion that the crop WILL SIoW NOiy iNRi'iS warm weather, the moisture supply for the present being very abundant. In all districts the crop improved ma terially during the week preceding May 25.

 Although lacking few days of be- ing as far advanced, the crop and held conditions compare favorably with last year and with an average.
 "In states east of the Mlsslsslppl river there has been an increase Tn area planted to corn and larger use of commercial fertilizers.
