RAIN CAME TOO
LATE TO HELP
LITTLE BENEFIT TO CROP
DROUTH is BROKEN TOO LATE
TO PREVENT SERIOUS DAM
AGE TO COTTON.

That the general rain which fell in
this section last night came too late
to be Of much benefit to crops, espec-
tally cotton, is the opinion Of most of
the people familiar with farming
conditions in this county. The long
drouth and extremely hot weather
proved disastrous to what promised a
month ago to be a bumper crop in
this county. There will practically
be no top crop made, as the plant has
not received sufficient moisture to
cause it to put on new squares dur
ing the past few weeks, and it is now
of course too late for any new growth
to mature. In addition to the loss of
the top crop, much damage was
caused by the premature opening of
bolls, the hot sunshine causing the
boIls to burst open long before they
had attained their maturity
The rain, however, was welcome
one, bringing cooler weather and re-
lief from the dust nuisance. Fall
pastures will be benefited and water
for stock, which had become scarce in
many sections} will be somewhat more
plentiful The precipitation at Con
way last night was 80 inch.

SUMMARY OF COTTON
CROP CONDITIONS.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 16.-The
Commercial Appeal today says:
The cotton crop deteriorated heav-
| lily over practically the entire belt
during the week. The hot, dry wealth
er has caused a cessation of growth
and fruitage, save in few scattered
lowlands, over all the belt except in
Oklahoma and northern Texas Rain
served to check deterioration some
what in some sections, but the damage
had already been done and could not
be remedied.
East Of the river the crop is made
except in some lowands in Mississip-
pi and Tennessee and to lesser ex-
tent in Alabama and South Carolina.
The late crop ON these lands is in dan
ger from a frost Of average date,
which renders the final yield of even
the small portion of the top crop that
holds forth any promise a matter of
speculation. The middle and bottom
crops are not so heavy as last year.
owing to the heavy shedding of
squares and young boIls Boil weev-
lis have destroyed any hope of top
crop in southern Mississippi Prema-
ture opening caused by the heat is
causing complaint of short staple.
West Of the river about the same
conditions as those east of the river
prevail in Arkansas and Louisiana.
In Oklahoma and North Texas, the
crop deteriorated heavily, but the
plant was heavily fruited, and with
favorable weather there is a chance
for recuperation and fair yield of
the late crop. Bottom and middle
crops in these sections Of the belt are
heavy and are yielding satisfactorily
In Central and Southern Texas the
crop is made. Picking is going for
ward as rapidly as labor conditions
and the extreme heat will permit, and
the yield is proving heavier than eX-
Ipected. No hope exists for a top
crop in these portions of the state.
Owing to the hot weather the bolls
have opened freely, some of them
prematurely, and the movement will
be very heavy from the entire state.
1t is predicted that most of the crop
will be gathered by the date of killing
frost. Rain is not wanted, except in
the extreme north, as picking is a
thing Of most importance in other
parts of the state.

GONGS AT FIRE CROSSINGS.
Chattanooga Starts New Plan in
Fire Prevention Method.

In Chattanooga, Tenn, an effort is
being made to prevent accidents between
fire apparatus and the ordinary traffic
at the street intersections in the bust
ness section of the town by the use of
large gOngs.
There are only few corners where
there is any considerable danger of
such collisions. but at these corners
unusually loud gongs are being placed
by the fire department in connection
with the Chattanooga Street Railway
and Light Company. which company has
offered to bear a reasonable part Of the
expense. These gongs are arranged to
sound whenever the apparatus from any
of the seven fire halls is to pass the
corner in question.
To warn street car motormen Of the
approach of fire apparatus, devices
similar to semaphores will be placed
at two Of these corners, cars being re-
quired to stop or move with great eau
tion when the semaphore is lowered
until the fire engines have passed and
the semaphore has been restored to it's
original position. Both the gongs and
the semaphores will be operated from
the fire hall from which the apparatus
starts. This system is the direct out
come of discussions among fire captains
at meetings which are held semi
monthly
