and available for replanting.
Monday, as elsewhere, the day was
very disagreeable and the wind blew
very cold, but we have not had any ram
for the past three or four days, and all
vegetation has become acclimated to the
cold A slight breeze kept up all last
night, and there was but very little frost
this morning, and what frost there was
was gone by the time the sun struck
IT, The stands of cotton in this terri
tory. as a rule, are very good, and but
very little cotton has been chopped out
up to this time and 1 interviewed two OF
the largest farmers around Cordele to-
day at noon, and both of the gentlemen
| told me that no doubt some OF the cot
ton was injured and would die. but that
| the stands were good, and they did not
think that they would have to replant.
and If they did, it would be with hoes
One of the above farmers has 80 acres
In cotton which range in all stages from
the last week in March. and the last of
his $40 acres was planted last week, and
he told me that his largest cotton was
hurt some more than his younger cot
| ton l have personally inspected some
of the cotton myself today and l do not
see that we are hurt materially, and
have seen today several farmers and
have asked them all in regard to their
crop, and they have all reported very
favorably. 1 think tomorrow the cotton
will really look worse than 1t does to-
day. and, of course il will look bad for
several days, but / think that IL the
farmers will be patient, and we have
anything like favorable weather for the
next week or ten days, we viii see
the crops growing off nicely with very
little damage from the cold snap
