fering from drouth and deterioration IS
noted in all districts south and west
of Waco, while in parts Of the north
ern belt the prospect is regarded as
slightly less flattering. 1t is excessive
ly dry over about 80 per cent of North
Carolina and boil weeyils are much
more numerous in Mississippi,
Speaking broadly, there was ad-
vancement east Of the Mississippi
river, and also in states west with
the exception Of Texas.
The plant is coming slowly to ma
turlty and there is much less than
the usual August deterioration In the
Mississippi valley states the fruit set
is unusually heavy and the plant,
though not large, win make a very nn
yield if the autumn is favorable and
frosts are sufficiently delayed.
Cultivation is practically complete
now in all sections
Cotton is opening very fast in Tex
as, but slowly in other states. The
win be delayed about ten
days or two weeks beyond the usual
time before it gains any volume
