Commercial Appeals Report
on Cotton Crop Conditions

The Commercial Appeal sn Monday
published reports from county CORES
pondents in the cotton states as to cot
ton crop conditions. Below is The sum-
mary of that report:
The condition of the growing cotton
crop on Aug. rs was 70 2 per cent of
normal, according to estimates of cor
respondents of the Commercial Appeal.
This is loss from the government
figures of July 25 of 81 per cent. Last
year on Aug % the condition was 70
and the l0-year average is 1928. The
only times in the past decade that con-
ditiOn on Aug. 25 has been below the
figures indicated this year were in 1918,
when it was 68.2, and 1903. when it was
63.7.
The loss in condition is attributed in
a large measure to the tropical storm
of Aug. II and 18 and the heavy rains
that followed, completely drenching the
western and central portions of the
belt. Other contributing agencies were
the drouth that prevailed for over half
the month and was only broken in the
western and central belts by the rains
accompanying the storm, cool nights,
lack of sufficient fertilizers and some
damage from boil weevil.
The damage has been greatest ir
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabam;
and Georgia. Oklahoma made gooc
progress, but the cotton is still late an(
will require late frost to make goot
yield. The Carolinas held their owl
pretty we'll. although lack of sufficient
commercial fertilizers is reflected il
some loss in condition. Boil weevil ac
tivities have increased in portions o
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama.
Some pickiag has been done in tn
early maturing sections. but this ha
been interfered with by recent rains
Labor for picking is quite plentiful
Most farmers are inclined to sell frs
pickings, but it is probable that, wit
the exception of some sections In tn
eastern states, there will be dispos
tion to restrict offerings should price
fall below the present levels.
Correspondents make little effort I
estimate the effect of the rains on tt
ultimate out turn. 1t is asparent. hov
ever, that late frost will be necessal
in order for the moisture to prove m
terially beneficial to the yield. ss,4

Thinks He Has OH Well.

Mr.. John Mabry of the Jefferson
neighborhood, Carroll county. was
among the Carroll county citizens to
visit Grenada this week for the pur-
pose Of making some needed purchases.
Mr.. Mabry is a good farmer and most
dependable citizen.
He thinks he has an oil or gas well on
his farm that will yield some handsome
returns as soon as he is fixed to utilize
it. He states that it is no infrequen'
thing to hear a roaring noise made by
the well. thing highly indicative o.
gas and that on several occasions the
air over the mouth of the well has
blazed on lighting match. tits hopeC
that Mr.. Msbry's dreams may be re
allied.
