Tissue today said:
| "Cotton is being picked as rapidly
las It opens in Georgia; is nearly al
lpicked in Alabama, mississippi, Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Texas. In Soutl
Carolina ginning is far advanced, and
warehouses are becoming congested.
g'Cool weather checked the deyelop

South Carolina and Georgia during
the week ending Oct. 3, but reports
for the week ending Oct. TO- Indicate
lthat the weather of that week was
more favorable.
There will be no top crop in Louis
lana and Texas, owing to the boil weev-
| il, and the top crop in Georgia will be
short, although it is now opening more
rapidly. The top crop in Oklahoma is
maturing and opening nicely. Dry
weather during the week ending Oct. 8
prevented the plowing under of cotton
stalks in Alabama to destroy the boil
weevil, and these pests have made rap
id advances in Georgia. Much late cot
ton in Florida was destroyed by weevil
caterpillars. The cotton crop in. south.
ern Tennessee was cut short by
drought, but the crop is reported good
in the western part of the state"
Drought has hurt corn in Tennes-
see, whore harvesting is about finished.
Corn harvesting progressed well in
most southern states. In some parts
of Mississippi corn is a failure and the
late crop in South Carolina is poor.
Conditions were favorable for plowing
and seeding of winter grains, except |
locally in few northern states and in |
Alabama and Mississippi, where it was
too dry.
Harvesting and threshing of rice is |
in Arkansas and Texas |
and is about finished in Louisiana. Rice
in the Weiner district of Arkansas was
injured by frost and is breaking down
because the ground is too soft to har-
vest.
Drought has injured potatoes in LOU
isiana and Oklahoma, while the crop is
poor in Arkansas. Sweet potatoes are
not so good as was expected in Georgia
and Alabama, and dry weather has
caused deterioration in Texas, but else
