crop of 1913. The consenus of opinion
is to the following effect:
l. Improvement has been the rule

cultivation.
2 There has been no lack of labor
and the fields have consequently been
worked to the maximum.
3. Complaints Of boil weeVn come
from several States and the reports
from certain districts Of Mississippi
show that grave damage has already
occurred. s.f. -',
A. Despite the forcing weather of the
last month, the crop is still on the
average somewhat late.
5. Taking the belt is a whole the
possibilities are great in either direc-
ton. With a perfect season on from
this time forward. a bumper yield might
be expected; with a seriously unfaVor-
able change in this regard, the out
turn might be sensationally small.
