favorite color this fall. She adds:
''Don't regard the choosing OF color

matter. Colors are not always what

The Cotton Crop Summary.

The following is summary Of cot
ton crop conditions in the Southern
States, as appeared in the Commercial
Appeal last Monday morning:
The decline in the condition Of the
cotton plant which set in several weeks
ago, has been checked in the two Caro-
iinas, Georgia and Alabama or has
ceased altogether by reason of more
favorable weather, rain having fallen
in the Carolinas and dry weather su-
pervened in the two latter states, Cot
ton is early in the Atlantic states and
without more rain will now open rap-
idly. A fair crop is assured and alarge
one seems possibility despite the de-
rioration that has been suffered.
In Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Louisiana, excessive rainfall continued
during the week and some of the re-
ports take very gloomy view of the
outlook. The chief damage has re-
suited from shedding of young forms
by reason of rank growth of the stalk
and from boil weevils in the southerr
part of this valley territory. It is evi.
dent, however, that bright weathe,
would vastly reduce present estimate oi
damage. sr
In Oklahoma and Texas period 0.
extreme heat, accompanied by ho'
winds, caused quick setback to cottol
which had but lately taken on fresl
growth from rain. The plant was be
ing forced to an early maturity, bu
rains toward the close of the week pu
an end to the condition and hold on
the promise of better returns mex
week, as most correspondents stat
that there is yet time to derive benefi
from the rains.
Cotton is moving very freely to mar
ket where any picking is being done.
