THE COTTON CROP SUFFERS
VERY HEAVYDETERIORA
Rains in the East, Drouth in the West, and Boil
Weevils Nearly Everywhere Are the Contrib
uting Causes Reported by Commercial
Appeal Correspondents.

The cotton crop suffered further
heavy deterioration during the last
fortnight. Principal contributing
,,uses were continued rains and heavy
boil weevil ravages east of the river
and dry weather in the west, accord
inn to the reports of the correspond
,nts Of the Commercial Appeal pub
Ished last Monday, August 14th.
The greatest damage during the pc
Rod covered by this report was caused
by activity of the boil weevil. In all
Of Mississippi and Alabama but the
northern counties, and in most of
louisiana, damage from this pest is
reported as decidedly the greatest ever
known. They are active in lesser
degree in Texas and Southern Georgia.
Fields are lined with the pest, and big
stalks Of cotton have in many in
stances been denuded Of almost all
their fruit. Some correspondents re-.
port acres and acres of cotton with
stalks carrying an evsrage of two
bolls each. Only portion of the bot
tom crop is counted upon to mature in
The best Of weevil infested areas. In
many places the plant has stopped
blooming, and where squares are
formed they are punctured by the
weevil.
Heavy rains, besides rendering coli.
ditions more favorable for the spread
Of the weevil, have stopped cultiva-
ton and allowed grass to take pos
session Of the fields. The plant, out
side the boil weevil districts, is large
and ssppy and is fruiting poorly, with
disposition to shed much Of the
fruit It does put on. Most CORE.
spondents believe that conditions in
the east, outside Tennessee and the
northern portion Of other states, are
50 bad that only very partial recov-
cry is possible under most auspicious
weather conditions for the remainder
Of the season.
In the west the outlook is good, al
though somewhat less roseate than a
fortnight ago, on account OF dry
weather and high temperatures, which
have been partially relieved by local
showers. Good general rains within
The next few days would again place
the western crop in position to return
bountiful yield. There are some
reports of boil weevil in Texas and
Arkansas, but damage to date has not
been large on the crop as q whole.
MISSISSIPPI.
Heavy rains and boil weevil have
played havoc with Mississippi's pros
poets for cotton crop. Aside from thu
upper delta, rains and boil weevil have
reduced the outlook until correspond
snts quite generally estimate pros
poets at from rs to so per cent. of
normal crop. Fields are grassy fol
the most part, the plant is large, bu
poorly fruited, and such fruit as il
being put on now is being destroyed
BY weevil. Most correspondents sa!
this pest is the worst ever known !

and fruiting we'll but as rule heavy
and continued rains have greatly dam
aged the plant, and the outlook as a
whole is poor. Fields are grassy, and
1.-The plant, though large, is poorly
Ifruited.
SOUTH CAROLINA,
/, A superabundance of moisture has
prevented progress on the part Of the
lcrop. Cultivation has been checked or
|entirely stopped and grass and weeds
have sprung up in abundance. Plant
has grown well and presents good
appearance, but is very poorly fruited,
with a disposition to shed much of the
fruit already put on.
OKLAHOMA,
Hot, dry weather has checked the
progress of the crop and resulted in
some loss for the last fortnight, al
though many correspondents report
the plant holding up well. Further
iextension of the drouth means rather
heavy deterioration, while good gener.
al rains within few days would prob
ably result in fine yield for the
state.
LOUISIANA.
Too much rain and ravages Of Dol
weevil have greatly impaired the cot
ton crop prospect This is quite
general complaint, except the north
ern part of the state, where the out
look is reported still good. Some cot
ton opening and being picked.
TENNESSEE.
There are some complaints, whicl
make conditions spotted, but on al
average, the crop has done well dur

and the outlook is favorable. Cult

ARKANSAS.

ARKANSAS.
Excellent outlook of a month ago
seems to have been maintained, de-
spite some deterioration in various To-
calities on account of drouth. The
scattered nature of local showers has
resulted in spotted conditions in m;.ny
counties, but, on the whole, improve
ment in one section seems to have
more than Offset damage in others
Plant is generally strong and healthy,
in clean fields and fruiting we'll. Many
reports of boil weevil, with considera-
BILE damage in certain sections.
TEXAS.
The scattered nature of recent local
rains makes conditions spotted, and it
is probably correct to say that the
crop has about held its own during the
period covered by this report. Where
dry weather has not been relieved
correspondents report the outlook as
discouraging, but where the necessary
rains have fallen the outlook ranges
from good to excellent, with some To-
calities having prospects of bumper
crop. Ellis County is in the latter
class. Complaints consist of shedding,
plant blooming at the top in dry
areas and damage from boil weevil in
various localities ranging from a neg
ligible amount to very heavy, but on
the crop, as a whole, not large. Bar
ring possible boll weeyil ravages, good
general rains could still bring about
very big crop in the big state. Pick
ing is going forward in southern part
of the state and farmers are generally
selling at prevailing prices, which are
high.

ALABAMA.

There are few moderately favor
able reports from the northern part of
the state, but aside from these, condi-
tions may be described as ruinous. The
rains of June and July prevented
thorough cultivation, with the result
that grass and weeds predominate in
most fields. The heavy rains Of July
completely destroyed many lowland
crops and greatly damaged that on
the highlands. AS a result of the rains,
plant is fruiting poorly, and, outside
the north, boil weevil is taking about
all the fruit that is being put on now.
Many correspondents estimate con-
dition as low as 25 per cent. of normal.
GEORGIA.
Heavy and continuous rains have
greatly damaged the crop. Fields are
filled with grass, in many instances as
high or higher than the cotton. Plant
is generally quite large, but fruited
very poorly, with disposition to shed
| much Of the fruit already put on. Most
correspondents say the outlook is for
shorter crop than last year, despite
an increased acreage.

There are few reports of good
conditions, where the crop is thriving
