OUTLOOK Is FAVORABLE
FOR BIG COTTON CROP
President Harrison. of Southern Rail-
road. Receives Encouraging Reports
from Systems Agents.

President Harrison. of Southern Rail-
way Company, speaking yesterday of
the outlook for this years cotton
crop, said:
The government cotton report is
sued on June / indicates a substan-
TALLY better condition in the States
trayersed by Southern Railway lines
than on the corresponding date last
year. This bears out information re-
ceiyed from our agents. Some uneasi-
ness had been caused by reports Of
drought in the cotton States east of
the Mississippi River, but, generally
speaking, weather conditions along
our lines have been most favorable
for giving the crop a good start. The
lack of excessive rains has facilitated
the cultivation of the crop and reports
from the territory along Southern
Railway lines indicate that 1t Is un-
usually free from grass and weeds.
Reports from the territory into
which the cotton boil weevil had
spread last year indicate this insect
will probably be found in fields In all
that territory this year. but the farm
ers know more about combating the
weevil and will generally make de-
termined tight against it With rea-
sonably favorable weather conditions
for the remainder of the season.
therefore, q good yield of cotton may
be expected in the States east of the
Mississippi River.

apparent devotion to him.
