j. A. Kennedy wires following letter
from Cleburne, Tex, Sept. s: Since l
made my last report l nave been travel
ing in south central Texas, and will re-
iterate my last report regarding the CON
dition of all this territory, as it is very
ration, both as a result of the drouth and
the leaf worms; the latter are now work
ing as high as this city and above Dallas,
toward the Red river, and will be there
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 WI clean Off
all the young forms that are now taking
crop has made about all that it will
produce this year The temperature re-
mains abnormally high, but so far there
is no indication of any equinoctal dis
riod without any material damage, but
the farmers are 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 a rain would ruin
all that now lies on the ground | have
made personal inspection Of many fields
this week, and find in localities that 80
per cent IS open, and one gathering Will
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 100000 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
homa is very dry, and the crop is de-
teriorating there very rapidly and if the
leaf worm invades southern Oklahoma by
October 10 they will cut the crop mate
rally also, as well as in Texas, for the
crop is very late in that state
