Army and Leaf Worms Do
Damage in Texas-Top
Crop in West Good.
F A r M E RS HOLDING
Plans Being Made to Reduce Acreage.
Late Cotton in Danger Of DAM
age from Average Date
Frost.
(Memphis Commercial AppeaD

tMempnlS commercial AppeaD
Reports of correspondents to this
paper indicate that the cotton crop
has opened rapidly over practically
the entire belt during last fortnight
Pickers are rushing in an effort to
keep un with the rapidly opening
bolls. In the west there is promise
of a good crop with average frost, al
though this has been badly damaged
by ravages of the army and leaf
worms in Texas. In the central
valley army worm and boil weevil
have almost totally destroyed the top
crops, while the bottom and middle
crops are being rapidly gathered. In
the east the old crop has opened very
rapidly and is being harvested as fast
as possible. but much late cotton is in
danger of damage Of frost of average
date.
All ocer the belt farmers are hold
ing determinedly for higher prices,
and they are being encouraged by
merchants who take cotton at ~
cents on a counts; buy-a-bale clubs
and other relief formulated for a re-
duction of the 1915 acreage.
This is the last report, the Com
mercial Appeal will publish on the
crop Of 1914, except the crop estimate,
which will be issued some time in No.
vember.

will start an inspection. He is just
completing an inspection trip of all
the national forests in the south. He
came from the Arkansas forest up
here. He states that work Is pro-
crossing fine, but the timber sales
have been practically stopped on &C
count of the mills closing down. The
war has affected prices Of timber pro-
ducts.

Louisiana.

Crop is probably two-thirds open
and picking is being rushed, ginning
is keeping we'll up with picking, but
little cotton is being sold. Most
farmers are inclined to hold and buy
a-bale and other relief plans are meet
ing with favor. Weevils have destroy
ed most of the top crop, SO that little
danger exists from damage by frost
of average date.

From 40 to Is per cent of the crop
is estimated open. Picking is going
on at a rapid rate and in most sec
tons the cotton is being ginned as
fast as picked, although in some local
tiles farmers are holding in the seed.
Different plans for holding cotton
have been formulated and as a gem
eral rule farmers are determined to
mold at least until the price reaches
10 cents. The out-turn to date is
satisfactory.

Wheat Advances.

Chicago, Sept. 2S-Wheat advanced
in price here today, notwithstanding
lower quotations from Liverpool.
Although there was slight dip here
al the start buying on the part of ex-
port houses led soon to decided up
turn. After opening LAC Off to lie
pthe Chicago market made slight
decline and then rose 5-S@1c higher
than Saturday night.
Fine weather tended to weaken the
price of corn. The opening, which
varied from lie to 3-S@1-2c lower,
was followed hy a complete recovery.
Oats showed independent firmness.
High prices for hogs gave support
to provisions. Business, though, was
not on large scale.
Subsequently further gains were
scored because of talk OF possible
hostilities between Russia and Tur-
key, and owing to advices that the
wheat crop movement from first hads
in the United States was likely to
show a material falling off. The
close was steady at 5-S@1c net ad-
vance.
Smallness of corn stocks tended
later to uphold the market The
close, however, was weak, 3-SWl-2c
net lower.

A large percentage of the crop is

Bolls have opened rapidly and
picking is keeping pace with the
opening crop. Much of the cotton,
however, is being held in the seed, al
though gins are fairly active. The
army worm has stripped the stalks of
foliage over large areas, and while
they have destroyed much of the late
crop, the thinning out of the foliage
has helped the maturity of the bolls,
with the result that little damage IS
feared from frost of average date.
Farmers and merchants are holding
cotton for higher prices. Plans are
under way for reduction of the
1915 acreage and many farmers will
plant fall grain crops as substitute
for cotton.

Crop has opened rapidly and is es-
timated to be from so to 80 per cent
open. Picking is being rushed and
indications point to an early compile
ton of the harvesting. In some sec
tions cotton is being ginned as fast as
it is picked, while in others farmers
are holding the lint in the seed. All
over the state holding movements are
in favor and little cotton is being or
fered for sale. The boil weevil and
army worm have almost completely
DESTROYED the top crop, so that there
is little left for frost of average date
to damage.

day of the seige of Ojinaga by Gener-
al Ortega's rebel army, although at
tended by incessant cannonading from
daylight until late tonight, ended
without result except to increase the
dead and wounded on both sides.
All the wounded were sent by both
rebels and Federals to the American
side of the river to be cared for by
the Red Cross. AS neither of the con-
tending armies maintains a hospital
service, $50 more wounded were car
ried to United States territory to be
crowded into small schoolhouse and
church which were converted into hos
pitfalls.
While shrapnel and volley after vol
ley of rifle fire poured into the little
villege, on which the whole northern
division of the Federal army, with
its II generals, is making a stand
against rebels, the relative positions of
the two armies at nightfall were un-
changed.
General Ortega's troops, which had
taken entrenchments on all sides of
Ojinaga except that which faces the
Texas border were withdrawn and con-
centrated about two miles west on the
banks of the Conchos river. Just
previously General Salazar, who, with
800 Federal volunteers, succeeded for
the first time since the seige in going
out of the Notifications in an attempt
to attack General Ortega's rear, was
driven back by the rebels, not howev-
er, until he had killed dozen or more
rebels. So far the casulties have been
disproportionate to the number of
shots fired.
About 10000 rounds of ammuni-
ton have been expended by both arm
les. On the basis of that 5000 rebels
and 1000 Federals are engaged, this
would indicate that II shots were
fired for each soldier, while the total
dead and wounded do not exceed 1000.
