COTTON HAS IMPROVED
IN THE EASTERN BELT
The Farm Tone is Decidedly More
Optimistic.
PLANT IS GROWING VERY RAPIDLY
Promise for Crop is Now Fair to Good Crop
is Late and Would be Injured by
an Early Frost

Memphis, Tenn.--The following cot
ton crop is published by the CONNER
cial-Appeal:
For three successive weeks cotton
has improved in the states east of the
Mississippi river and its promise il
now fair to good. The crop is late,
and would be seriously damaged by
an early frost, while frost later than
usual is needed to allow the fullest
promise to be matured. The plant
within the past two weeks has grown
very rapidly, and is attaining fair
size. 1t is setting bolls quite satisfac-
torily, and the farm tone is decidedly
more optimistic.
Such rains as fell during the past
week were beneficial. They were To-
cal in many sections, however, and the
Carolinas and part Of Georgia would
be benefited by general precipitation.
Even in the earliest sections of this
eastern belt there is very little cotton
that is ready to open, and the move
ment will be delayed well into Sep
TENDER unless drouth later on should
force premature opening.
Boil weevils are active in Louisiana
and Mississippi and are doing some
more harm than was earlier antici-
pated
In Texas no rains fell except In
some of the Red river counties, and
the crop lost ground steadily. Cotton
is opening prematurely and very rap
idly in southern and southwestern
counties, and is being rushed to mar
ket as fast as possible by the farmer.
In western Texas, where within the
past few years there has been a rapid
expansion in cotton growing, the crop
is almost q failure, and in many places
is beyond repair
New Orleans.--In presenting regu-
lar monthly reports of correspondents
in all sections of the cotton belt as to
progress of the cotton crop, the Times
Democrat states that the concensus
of opinion is as follows:
Outside of the droughty districts of
Texas distinct improvement mas been
the rule, but within the droughty dis
tricts of that state the deteriration
has been very great.
Except in Oklahoma, where timely
rains have made the outlook almost
ideal, the crop is spotted.
With the exception of Texas, the
movement promises to be late because
of the backwardness of the plant. The
farmers would, in most cases, sell free
ly, if they could.
Much complaint Of destruction by
boil weevil comes from parts of Louis
lana and Mississippi, but the pest
seems to have done less damage than
usual elsewhere.

Referring to the charges made by
Senator Bristow as absurd misstate-
