Habersham King says: "a strikihg il
lustration of how one weeks develop
ments may be unsafe as a guide has been
presented this week The fact that the
threatened gulf storm has run it's course,
though ! am not yet in possession of the
details of the rainfall accompanying ii, 1t
| has enabled me to record this threatened
disaster as source of benefit to the en-
tire states of Alabama, Mississippi and
Tennessee, stopping deterioration where
they, with original conditions to follow,
recover the loss sustained for the past
ten days.
The Atlantics with the exception of
several small areas producing a total of
perhaps half a million bales where de-
terioration continues, had already at
tanned this condition, together with Okla
homa, SO that Arkansas and the western
and central parts of Texas represent the
remaining portion, showing continued de-
terioration, as the showers of the week
in Texas has been too small and scat
tered to afford any relief.
l. Il call attention to the Texas analysis
flor the reason that | do not include the
whole state in the deterioration.
