J. A.. Kennedy wires following letter
from Cleburne, Tex, Sept 8: since l
made my last report ] have been travel
ing in south central Texas, and win re-
iterate my last report regarding the con-
dition OF all this territory, as it is very
dry and the crop shows constant deterio-
ration, both as result of the drouth and
lgar 1EAa
ing as high as this city and above Dallas,
toward the Red river, and will be there
on time--at least, by the time predicted
to you in my former reports.
THE drouth now exists over the en-
tire state. and the plant has about ceased
to put ON forms in any portion except
the extreme northern part of the state.
but think the leaf worm VII clean off
all the young forms that are now taking
on. and it is my opinion that the Texas
crop has made about all that it will
produce this year The temperature re-

the farmers ere all in constant dread of
rainfall and high winds, which would
prove very disastrous as the fields are
practically white and cotton still falling
out on the ground, and rain would ruin

made personal inspection of many fields
this week, and find in localities that 80

nearly clean up the crop. This is an
unusual condition so early in the season,
and shows conclusively that the crop is
going short and has been overestimated
81 think that 4 900 600 bales is the max
imum crop that can possibly be produced
this season, and if this drouth continues
ten days longer, you may just as well ac-
cept these figures as the maximum, and
condition may arise that will reduce them
materially. | learn that western Okla

! teriorating there very rapidly, and if the
leaf worm invades southern Oklahoma by
