COTTON CONDITIONS
ARE EXTREMELY POOR
CLOSE EXAMINATION SHOWS
NOT MORE THAN HALF
CROP IN SIGHT.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:


notice various reports and esti,
nations made on the cotton condi.
tons. A man can be mistaken in his
judgment concerning the amount of
fruit that cotton has on it. Some
times we estimate too high. and at
other times we may underrate it. Now
II man will take the time and
trouble to make close investigation
by observing the number of bolts to
the stalk, he can easily make a close
estimation of his cotton crop. Cotton
that has as many as Is hollis on it, free
from insect damage, is a fair crop.
Now, l have been counting the bolls
on my cotton for the past few days,
and find after close examination
from zero to 10 bolls, not all of which
is out of insect reach.
For the past three weeks cotton has
not kept any of its fruit. Continu-
GUS rains have soured the little bolls
by gathering water in the blooms,
causing them to fall off, leaving moth
ing gained in fruitage during the
month of August. One more week is
all we can, with safety, figure on,
from the fact that we may have an
early frost.
For a long time / have heard of
boil worms" and have seen some ut
tie effects every year, but this is the
first time in this country that / have
seen them in reality. They are thick
here. They have struck us just for
the past few days, doing great dam
age. In company with a friend to-
day, while crossing a small field, am
safe in saying that we saw as many
as so worms. Some were large, work
ing on the tender large bolls, VIII lie
others were small. Some were boring
THE small hollis, while some were eat
ing right through the squares bsfore
they had bloomed. If these conditions
continue for another week with reia-
tive proportions, all of the small bolls
and unbloomed squares will be ruined,
leaving us just what bolls came on in
July, whic his small. Early cotton
may have a fair July crop, but we
can't hope for an August crop. Most
Of our cotton is fairly late, irregular
in coming up, due to dry weather in
the spring.
Not more than half of a crop can
we figure for, and we may fall short
Of that, because up until the first of
August people were counting largely
on bumper crop. We had the finest
prospects for a large crop ever wit
messed in this county up to August
but now We are just about as gloomy
as we ever were. / don't know over
how niue hterritory of the cotton belt
these conditions exist. Our only finan-
cial salvation rests entirely on the
price. We hope for good prices.

The windows were 'lovely-their smartness indicating the character of goods to be purchased within. The va rety of articles displayed is but a fore taste of the number of lovely things made A costume that attracted much pleasant interest was a tailored suit. The skirt was a short white flannel model of conservative type, and the jacket just the nattiest of hip length affairs and flaming red in color. The hat worn with it was perfect-a wide rolling brlm, it held a suggestion of the fresh red color in a roll of velvet and al the side stood a tall white aigrette. There were a num- Der of imported hats in the windows as well as within the store-and each was a splendid type. One of the most daring models was a broad black hemp whose sole trimming was an enormous butter fly of black velvet perched directly in front and spreading it's great wings to the sides in becoming fashion. A tiny braid was used with realistic effect in

ring true to the wea rable key; style ideas that strike the dominant note of spring; prices in tune with womans in born desire to dress better and spend less, in fact, Feeder & Berk seem to have struck the exact idea to interest fash ionable women in their stock of goods this season, as was shown by the large number Of feminine shoppers who visited their emporium yesterday

The gown was the perfection of the couturieres art and was distinctly novel and original

The foundation of the entre denx of tucked net and Paraguay and Valenciennes lace. The lower edge of the gown was finished with a broad band of pale blue velvet ribbon and the eirdle was very narrow and made of the pale blue velvet ribbon with long ends. At the right side of the corsage there were two chic little bows of the velvet ribbon and the sleeves and neck were finished very tastefully with it.
 A morning gown of Pongee was very smart cut on the graceful lines of the plain skirt. while panels were introduced at each side of pompadour messaline. with the heavy cord effect The waist had touch of red about the neck while the pompadour messaine was also used

Morality in Roads.

At the National Good Roads Con-
gress, Bishop Fallows said:
Good roads are closely allied to re-
ligion. Good roads in the country dis
tricts would not only increase the
church attendance, but would improve
the general moral tone of the com
munity.a 1t is a work that is worthy
of the assistance of all the churches
in the country"
That is good gospel. A mans ideas
and purposes are always bettered by
fair surroundings. Order, neatness,
usefulness constitute a sort Of high
plane Of thinking. Given the character
of the material conditions of a COM
munity and you can almost tell how
it will vote or in what numbers it will
go to church. A dirty gutter is an OBJ
scene story. A deep mudhole in a
country road is a nest of profanity. A
miserable old broken down hog pen
nearby is a scandal in the neighbor-
hood. A mans thoughts are largely
what his surroundings make them. If
they are ragged, filthy and dis0rdered
so is his thinking.
So, making good roads, parks, side
walks, cutters the tone of public SEN
timent is elevated and it can then be
counted upon to support the true pro-
gress CT the community. A bad out
look pulls a man down like a bad COM
