COTTON CROP HAS RiOt
GOOO paOsatSiuTtlY


Memphis. Tenn. June 24-The
Commercisl Appeal of Monday
had the following 10 say In refer.
ence to the growth Of cotton dur
Ing the past fortnight:
''0ood progress has been made
by the cotton crop during the
past two weeks. Except n to
the general progress should be
noted In that part Of Arkansas
outside Of the St. Francis basin.
much Of the west Tennessee and
and some Of the hill Of Mlssissip
pi. In the remainder of the belt
much improvement is shown
over conditions that prevailed
two weeks ago.
In Texas and Oklahoma great
headwsy has been made against
weed and grass. and while there
is yet much to be done. cult
vation has made such strides
that the outlook for q good yeild
on that part of the crop up be-
fore the rains is favorable There
is much cotton that was planted
since the rains and this is late.
Much acreage. it is stated, can
never be cleaned out and this
will be abandoned. While no
figures are available on the a.
mount that will be abandoned. it
will probably prove sufficient to
cause a reduction in acreage in
those states.
In Alabama and the Atlantics
q series Of local rains has prac-
tically broken the drouth and the
outlook is greatly improved as a
result"

We're supposed to have no redress whe1
they were injured as a result Of roads

condition for while the township Of

The opinion in this important mo
