! The Memphis Commercial Appeal has
| the following on the condition of the
cotton crop for the week:
The weather Of the past week was
very favorable for the growth of cotton
| over the entire belt Temperatures were
| high, with good showers in west and
| CLEAR skies in the remainder of the belt
1 Just the kind of weather needed The
plant made good progress, although
most of its energy was occupied in over
coming the check placed upon it by the
/ cool weather of the previous week. and
| for this reason its actual advancement
! : a
! suit Of the cool weather, the plant over
! the entire belt is a bit small, although
| probably slightly larger than last year,
| but II is making bushy growth and
shows the health that accompanies a
| good tap-root and favorable soil condi-
/ tons.
Good rains in Texas and portions Of
! Oklahoma supplied the one thing needed
/ in these States for the best growth Of
| the plant. The excellent cultivation

! TIC OF the cpop all season was maintained
/ throughout the week and soil is per-
/ haps better worked than ever before az
| this season. The rains and the fact THAI
| farmers were in the wheat harvest al
/ in portions of Texas, but the situation
/ is one that a few days work will soon
] cure. The other western States, the

was of Doll weevil in Mississippi and
| Louisiana and isolated sections Of Texas
and Arkansas There is a big crop Of

confident that in most localities they
