THE COTTON CROP
Of TEXAS IS
GOOD
Peach Crop Is Also Good
and Sugar Cane Crop
Is Large.

Austin, Texas, Aug. Cotton in
Texas has more than maintained its
average high condition during the last
week or 10 days. While unfavorable
reports have come from a few local-
ties where the boil worm and leaf
worm have made their appearance 1t
is thought that this unsatisfactory
condition is merely a temporary men
ace and that by the judicious use OF
poison the pests will soon be eradi-
icated. 1t is noteworthy that In south
Texas where the worms were doing
some damage two or three weeks ago,
they are no longer harming the crop.
In parts Of west Texas, the cotton
crop is poor. Due to the practical
failure of the cotton crop in Atascosa
county, ]. H. Dixon, ginner OF that
county has just advised the department
of agriculture that he will not operate
his gin this season. He advises the
department that the crop this season is
by far poorer than 1t was last year
This condition Is due to the lack OF
rain at the proper time,
The old time theory that cotton can
not be successfully raised without
negroes is being put to the test In
the vast new cotton growing region
along the lines of the Texas & Pacific
and the Fort Worth & Denver CITY
railroads in western Texas. In all
that region there is hardly negro
1aborer. Farmers there are advertising
for cotton pickers but so far there has
been no response on the part Of the
negroes of other sections of the state.
An effort will he made to supply the
demand for laborers by shipping into
the new cotton growing territory hum
dreds of Mexicans from the Rio Grande
border.
The Peach Crop.
One Of the surprises Of the week is
the announcement that comes from re-
liable commission men that the alberta
peach crop in eastern Texas was not
the failure this year that was report
ed. The statement is made the peach
crop of that section will be approx
mately 200 carloads. More than 100
cars have already been shipped. Early
in the season it was stated by growers
that their orchards would produce
hardly a single peach. The crop was
looked upon as total failure until
the peaches began to appear in the
markets in large quantities
Sugar Cane Crop.
The sugar cane crop In south Texas
gives promise Of producing an unusual
" large tonnage per acre. This is
narttcularlv true of the lower Rio
Grande valley where the cane Is grown
by means of irrigation. It Is estimated
that there are about $4,000 acres or
cane in that section Preparations are
being made to more than double the
acreage this fall. Three new sugar
mills are being erected in the valley
70 handle the crop. This will make SIX
sugar mills in all which will be avaiia-
BILE for the cane growers
The late forage crop is the best ever
known in the state. 1t will make up
largely for the corn crop failure, II Is
said.
