COTTON MUCH IMPSOVED
The Corn Crop Is Practically Made
and Bids Fair to Break All Pre-

Show Excellent Yields.

Reports of crop conditions In ZEN
nessee to the commissioner OF agri-
culture from about two hundred cor
resnondents covering practically all
the counties in the state, sound an
optimistic note, especially in Middle
and in West Tennessee. In East
Tennessee. the complaint of exces-
sive rains up to July 20, is general,
withal, a high percentage in the pro-
duction of stable crops, fruits and
vegetables is generally shown. In
short, the prospects for bumper
crop at this time are good.

The corn crop in Tennessee IS
practically made and at this time
bids fair to break all previous rec
ords. though there is complaint that
corn in the lawlands has been dam
aged somewhat by unprecedented 'u-
ly rains in East Tennessee.
Rains of the past week have dissl-
pated apprehensions of drouth'
which seemed imminent in some sec
tions. The hot weather of the past
two weeks has brought out cotton

districts, though in some sections the
stand is bad.

has made remarkable progress. IN
