REPORT ON CROP CONDITIONS
SOUTH OF SOUTHERN RY.

Editor The Commonwealth:
The crop conditioas In the section
trayei have materially changed within
psst two weeks.
The excessive rains have held up and
many fields which were badly in the
grass hsve been put in comparatively
good condition: but in spite Of this
apparent improvement the cotton crop
has lost ground how much 1t Is impos.
sible to estimate. The deterioration.
which 10 still going on, is largely due to
the ravsges Of the boil weevil. The
Lefore correspondent Of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal In the crop summary
Of last Monday. 3Ist ult.. puts the
average condition 1t 80 per cent. ]
infer from this that crops in the north
ern section Of the county are in good
shape. The condition in all the country
south Of the Southern Railway Is moi
by many points within 80 per cent. OF
4 ten year average. The hot weather,
however. inspires the hope with plant
ers that prospects may grow brighter.
