O OUTINGS.

!. The real joy-bringers, at this sea
son OF the year, are the men who
blaze the way for pleasant outings.
These are the builders Of summer
resorts-the improvement companies
who transfer wilderness places into
paradises, and the railroads which
have developed the travel idea into
a science, 20 far "a they are concer-
ned, and into an almost wholly
unailoyed y to travellers who are
physically fit, says an exchange.
We have IN idea that these 10y
brlngers are, in a sence, social revolu
ZIONIST, who are adding to American
life an element which it has lacked
for many years. They are making
the vacati IN 50 ~ailuring as to be
Imperative; and as a result of this,
corporations which formerly looked
askance at the idea of a rest and
recreation period for their employees
are coming around 10 the idea tina,
an outing for employees is a good
investment, and a simple matter Of
justice.
The idea Of leisure for Americans
has been SO slow development; bu,
we believe when the idea begins tc
thrive everywhere we shall have the
railroads AMI the managers Of the
summer resorts to thank for oul
happier conditions.
They are making the outing idea
a predominating one by tie
simplest and surest of processes
They are making the vacation {
thing of many sided delight. Tine
was when the vacation was the mos,
wearisome period in the year fol
the few who took vacations. i
Was a period of insect pests, of bal
food, of stutly transportation ia
cilities. 1t was better to get back
from a vacation than it was to &C
upon one.
Now there ere a thousand places
within our own familiar zones
where the mountains lift theil
peaks, or the waves murmur; where
the pines fill the air with a tonic

from northern counties, which are
in so:ae need of rain.
OKLAHOMA.
The cotton plant is in need ct
moisture over wide areas in this
state. Excessive temperatures and
parching winds have increased the
severity of the dronth. In the ex

lieved the situation and the cotton
looks well. Elsewhere deteriors-

The cultivation is good and there is
no complaint, although weevils are

NORTH CAROLINA.
The crop is in excellent condition,
the only drawback noted being
that of small and young plants
where termination vas delayed by

MISSISSIPPI.
The stricking feature of the CROP
has been it's rapid growth during
the week. Showers and rains have
fallen in all directions in just about
the right way and quantity. The
prospects are the best in several
years but the boil weevil is becom

TEXAS.
Only a few scattered showers fell
during the week and over an area
producing one third or more of the
states cotton crop the plant is be.
ginning to suffer. The corn crop
in many sections is a failure. In
eastern and parts of central Texas
the crop is doing we'll and in the
southeast. Elsewhere the plant is
small and needs rain.
GEORGIA.
Irregular distribution and lack Of
rainfall is the basis of complaint,
when complaint is made. Showers
have fallen in many places, and at
8 lch the crop is very h~attering.
Other localities equally important
have had no rain in several weeks
and cotton is making rather slow
progress, A general rain is begin.

A SOAKING RAIN
COTION'S NEED.
viii Seen 0ecome Necessity for .
Full Crop.

Reports on cotton are less favor
able tn IN those Of n week ago,
owing to a deficiency in rainfall
and tho irregular distribution OF
the showers that we're received.
In north Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana the condition is cx-
cel'ent and the plant is doing about
everything it ought to do at this
time. The fields are we'll worked
and the growth fer the week has
been very rapid.
In Georgia and South Carolina
the rainfall has been poorly distri-
buted and there are sections in need
Of moisture and altl o III the situa-
ton is not yet acute a general and
Widespread rainfall would be help
ful. In these states there are
some very fine crops, while others
are small and growing slowly.
Over wide areas in Texas and
Oklahoma no rain has fallen in
many W eks and deteri, ration has
set in. Extreme heat and hot
winds add to the seriousness of the
situation. There are, however, dis
tricts in these two states (principsl-
ly in the eastern parts) where the
crop promise is excellent and the
growing conditions almost ideal.
Broadly speaking, it may be said
that over all eastern and western
cotton states a soaking rain would
be highly beneficial and will soon
become a necessity for a full cotton
crop.
TENNESSEE,
There is scarcely any complaint at
all. Rains nave fallen everywhere
and the growth of the plant is very
papid. Blooms have appeared
much earlier than ususl and
cultivation is nearly perfect.
SOUTH CAROLINA,
Showers have been of local chara-
ter and many sections are in need
of rain. A few correspondents say
that the cotton is growing slowly,
but in the main the outlook is good.
A general rain is all that is needed,
Some of the late cotton is cry
