Imboden, July l3.-ThIs week
the weather has been more favorable
to the gro wing cotton than for some
time past. There were several days
that the sun shone very hot and tho
nights we're warmer than usual, all
Of which materially benefited the
cotton. The regular showers at in
tervals of every week or so have
not vet ceased. The continued fall
ling Of the light rains has tenden.

ton while at the same time produces
a luxurant and rank growth OF
weeds and grass. In many places
the fields are in a foul state and con
ditions at the present offer little
promise of betterment OF the tllth
of the soil for the next few days,
at the earliest. The Oldest plants
are developing slow progress. How
ever, in some few places in this sec

ed. The cotton in general presents
healthy appearance as far as color
is concerned, though much is
dwarfed in size on account OF the
weather of this season.

Cotton in this section has had
everything in ITS favor the past
week in the way Of making growth.
The weather has been warm and the
rainfall has not been excessive, Civ

cultivate the plant and put it in
