God has evidently placed the Negro
in America to test the reality Of the

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Favorable Conditions Experienced
Only in Eastern Division of the
Cotton Belt

New Orleans picayme Oct. 6: The
past week has developed rather un-
favorable weather features although
the resulting damage has been con-
fined largely TO the western portion
of the cotton belt. Texas has again
experienced almost daily rams, III
some district the precipitation being
very heavy. In southwestern Louis
lana and eastern Texas the fields
have beell badly flooded and tOWal q
the gulf coast there have been St
lious overiloWs, which have done a
great deal Of injury, not only %
crops but to property OF all sorts.
In the central belt there has also
been rather too much rain, but the
precipitation has not been as heavy
az in Texas and Oklahoma.
About the only part OF the cotton
belt tlal has cNpri fenced really faN-
orabiu weather was the eastern dl-
vision. particularly the Atlantic
States. In that district picking ana
ginning have proceeded at lively
rate, in a large measure Otfsettln9
the delay to harvesting IN the west
cTn States. Although it IS probable
that the rains have not materially
affected the yield of cotton, there Is
no doubt that the grade has been in
iurcd. so that good grades promise
to sell at premium owing to com
paratiVe scarcity.
The harvesting Of the corn crop
has been delayed by untaVorahie
weather and the corn in the fields
has been more or less injured. Rice
has suffered more severely than
other crops, particularly i'll south
western Louisiana, where not only
has the harvesting been delayed, but
considerable losses have occurred
