result many factors have conducted
The weather has been unfavorable,
as a rule, and the boil weevil has
completed the destructive work Of the
elements, especially in Alabama and
Arkansas.

gress and is said to have been practi-
cally finished in some districts. In
most cases, an unusual quantity Of
seed" cotton appears to be required
to make a 500-pound bale Of lint.
3. Labor is plentiful, because of
the deficient yield.
4. Farmers are disposed to hold
and there is an abundance of funds
for this purpose.
5. The final report will be pub.
lished in the issue Of Monday, No.

tive approximation will be given.

No Work Before Breakfast.

No WORK Which is at all eXactlng or
difficult should be undertaken by the
child before breakfast, and this rule
applies to mental effort as surely rs
to physical. If the curriculum of the
child's school demands study in the
early morning it should be prepared
for such mental effort by a suitable
meal. There can be no objection to a
short walk or to some form of light
exercise at this time. but the more Sc
rious duties of the day must be delay
ed until after the morning meal.
