itself felt, both east aud west, aud
the plant Is showing the effect of

teroraIion Is especially noticeable
in the late planted crop, which is
making a very sorry showing. Most
correspondents eonoede this portion
Of the crop a poor chance TO make
any crop OF consequence, although
il would be improved by general
rain. Most ola cotton still has
good promise, bat even this lost
ground moderately during this peri

has rushed early cotton to maturity
