WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN
FOR THE WEEK JUST ENDED

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. PA synop-
sis of weather and crop conditions for
tie week ending Tuesday and issued
today says: The past week was gem
orally fair throughout the state and
consequently highly favorable for out
door work, but the weather was too
dry for fall gardens, and the cool
nights in the northern part of the state
prevented the rapid opening of cotton
IL the northern division Nevertheless
cotton is now nearly all open as far
north as Atlanta, and picking and gin
ming are at their most active period.
The prospects for top crop remain
comparatively poor Gathering corn
and haying continue. Digging sweet
potatoes has begun with generally
good yields Sugar cane is fine. Prep
arations continue for seeding the win
ter cereals.

THIS COTTON BEATS
THE BOIL WEEWI

offer for sale a few hundred bush
els of the well known Petway cotton
seed. This cotton natures earlier and
fruits heavier than any cotton | have
ever grown. l have field on my farm
now five miles south of Americas
which was planted over the latter part
of May and practically ruined (appar-
entity by the daily floods and grass.
After the rain ceased, we cleaned it
and ever since it has been green and
making, and today looks like cotton
in July, and is estimated by several
who have examined it to make one to
two bales per acre. The early plant
ing which we had of this same cotton
and on which we made 13 bales to the
pillow was practically all open in July
and August. The yield i'll lint is
about 500 pounds to 1850 seed cotton.
Mr.. Petway, the originator, advises
me that he can sell all seed I can
spare. A number of people from ad-
joining counties have been sent here
by Mr.. Petway to examine this field,
and if you are interested in a variety
of cotton of this kind, it might pay
you to go out and see it. Side by side
with other varieties this year, it has
yielded fifty per cent. more than the
Cleveland big boil; thirty-three per
cent. more than Immune, etc. Same
land and fertilizers. Buy now if in
terested. CHAS. L. ANSLEY.
