THE COTTON CROP
Not so Promising for Yield as
Last Year

There are two distinct divisions
of the cotton crop this year and
conditions are SO widely different
in each as to render in necessary
to consider them separately. West
of the river, owing to good sea-
sons, withsfew drawbacks. the crop
has gone on in good shape for
nearly the entire season. In this
section the plant is we'll advanced
and much picking has already been
done. Taken as whole the crop
on that side of the stream is from
go. to Is 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- most correspond
ents estimate as heavily as last
year.
In the east only a small portion
of the crop is opened, although it
is estimated that very small por-
ton is in danger of frost of aver
age date, except in Tennessee,
where the plant is still vigorous.
The plant over the entire section
is late, but has not fruited heavily
estimates place it from 80 to 70
per cent Of last year and as there
is little promise of top crop it is
believed that picking, when once
we'll started, will not last for long.
In this, the last weekly report
of the Commercial Appeal for the
season, correspondents size up the
crop about like this:
Carolinas Crop much below
last year. Little in danger from
frost.
Georgia Crop very short
from 80 to IS per cent of last year.
Almost no danger of frost.
Alabama Estimates average
frqitage at about two-thirds that
of last year.
Mississippi Crop very spotted.
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 from 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 es-
cape boil weevil.
In Tennessee the plant was
greatly benefited by recent
rains. Shedding was stopped and
the young fruit promises well.
However, the crop is from two to
four weeks late, and 20 to 40 per
cent of the fruit is estimated to be
in danger of average frost. Fruit
is almost an average. but less than /

Mrs. Mary Gaunt, an Englishwom.
an who recently penetrated to the IN.
terror of West Africa. reports that she
found something in the nature of para.
disc in that supposedly benighted re
gion. For example. she states that
cruelty to children Is unknown among
the natives and that poverty, as We
know it. IS nonexistent. Even the
women, chronic malcontents for the
most part in the countries that call
themselves civilized. find nothing to
complain OF in this African paradise.
Every woman. says Mrs. Gaunt. may
be described as leading a comfortable
and happy life.
