CROP EAST OF RIVER
SHORT OF LAST YEAR
COTTON IN WEST FRUITED ABOUT
LIKE CROP OF 1911.
DAMAGE IS SMALL
Danger From Frost Of Average Date Is
Comparatively Small Except in
Oklahoma, Northern Texas
arl Tennessee.

West of the river, owing to good sea-
sons, with few draw backs, the crop has
gone on in good shape for nearly the en-
tire season, In this section the plant is
well advanced and much picking has al
ready been done, Taken rs Il whole,
the crop on that side Of the stream is
from 60 to rs per cent. opened, although
in Oklahoma there is probably more late
cotton than in any other state. Much
OF this is in danger Of frost. In the
west the plant is heavily fruited-mo8t
correspondents estimate as heavily as
last year.
In the east only a small portion of
the crop is opened, although it is esti-
mated that Il very small portion is in
danger of frost Of average date, except
in Tennessee, where the plant is still
vigorous. The plant over the entire
section is late, but has not fruited heav-
lly-estimates place it from 30 to 70
per cent of last yoar-and as there is
little promise OF top crop it is believed
that picking, when once well started,
will not last for long.
The insect damage to the crop has
been small when compared with other
years. Considerable boil wccyil have ap-
Peared in Mississippi and Iouisiana, but
u fairly good crop was mace before their
appearance. Elsewhere the damage from
insects has been negligible.
Correspondents size up the crop about
like this:
CaroIinas-Crop much below last year.
Little in danger from frost,
G~eorgia-Crop very short-from 80 to
G5 per cent. of last year. Almost no
danger Of frost.
Alaboma-Estimates average fruitage
at about two.thirds of last year.
Mississippi-Some sections expect good
crop, Others poor, but nearly all below
last year,
Tennessee and Missouri-Good crop
promised, but it is late and in danger
frost.
Arkansas-Much diversity of opinion
but generally below last year.
Oklahoma-Most estimates for best
yield in history of state, with late frost,
Texas-Average about the same as
last year,
Louisiana-Fruited about like last
year, but more of it may escape boil
weevil.

Jackson.-Corporations capitalized at
more than seven million dollars, organ
lied for the purpose Of engaging in agri-
cultural pursuits, have been formed in
the state within the past ten days, ana
will submit their charters to Gov. Brew
er for approval prior to the first of No
vember, on which date the new statute
prohibiting corporations from acquiring
lands for agricultural purposes goes into
effect.
A majority Of these corporations are
located in the Delta, and Gov. Brewer has
been directly Or indirectly interested in
the formation of several of the ION
panies. In fact, his present business trip
10 the East is to negotiate a million dol
lar investment in the fertile farming
lands Of the Delta.
Gov. Brewer is also one of the prin-
cipal promoters of a syndicate formed in
Wilkinson county, in the southwestern
section of the state, which has acquired
1000 acres of timber lands. His assO-
eiatcs in this deal are r. N. Miller, the
well-known criminal lawyer at Halle
hurst, and G. B. Box, a Memphis capt
talist. The cash price paid for the tract
was $4,000. A company will be formed
to manufacture lumber.
Another notable enterprise formed in
that section of the state is the Gulf
Land and Cattle Company, capitalized
at a half million dollars, which will en-
gage extensively in the cattle industry
on a cooperative plan, operating in sew
eral counties, among them being Clai-
borne, jefferson, Amite and Wilkinson.
The company's domiciIe will be at Port
Gibson. Among the promoters are +. +.

SUCCESSFULLY C0MBATs PEST.
Pike County Planter Brings Sixteen Bales
to Market.

misunderstanding that the boil
weeYil is not an i~nsurmountable obstacle
to making a good cotton crop, is the ex-
perience of S. A. Simmons, a planter liv-
ing near Mesa, in Pike county. Last week
he brought to Magnolia sixteen bales of
cotton, weighing 513 pounds each, and
has four or more in the field yet. All of
this was made on a patch of rs acres.
Mr.. Simmons planted his crop somewhat
late, but carefully caught all the early
wcevils. Then he cultivated fast ano
constantly, pushing the cotton to ma
turity. This result has been obtained in
a section that has been as badly infested
with the boil weevil as any part of the
state.
