COTTON SHEDDING
FROM MUCH RAIN
IN EASTERN BELT
Boil WeeviIs Increase in All
States East of Texas.
Improvement in Ala
bama Highlands

Washington. July 26.-Cotton improved
in the western part of the belt during
the week, but was damaged in eastern
sections the national weather and crop
bulletin today announced. Summarizing
conditions for the week which ended yes
terday, the bulletin says:
The frequent and continued rains were
generally unfavorable for cotton over
much of the district from the lower Mis-
sissippi valley eastward to South Caro-
lima, especially in the lowlands. There is
complaint of shedding in parts of South
Carolina, Georgia, western Florida, Ala
bama and Mississippi, and rust is re-
ported in Mississippi The crop is not
fruiting well in Georgia and it deterior-
ated materially in South Carolina. The
fields are grassy in much of the central
and eastern section. Boil weevils have
increased in much of this district al
though they are less numerous in Texas
1.-THE crop is in excellent condition east
of the Suwanee river in Florida, how
ever; it made an improvement over last
week in the highlands of Alabama; made
fair progress in North Carolina; is gem
orally very promising in Tennessee and
was favorable for the crop in Arkansas,
except on some of the hill lands, where
rain is needed: it is blooming and there
is fine prospect in Oklahoma. although
some sections need rain; it is doing well
and opening rapidly in Texas and the
crop is in good condition in most sec
tons of Louisiana. Picking and ginning
of the early planted is under way in
Texas and the first bale was marketed
in Georgia on July %" a
Corn improved in the highlands of the
southeastern states but much damage
was done in the valleys and lowlands py
the storm and it needs cultivation in re-
glons where rainfall was heavy. Rain is
badly needed over northern and western
Texas, eastern Oklahoma and the hill
lands of central and northern Arkan-
sas. ~
Sweet potatoes are reported to be in a
very satisfactory condition in all south
eastern states. except where flooded by
recent rains
Gardens and truck crops need rain in
the southwestern states. but are salts
factory in the south. .st.i except where
damaged by heavy rain and floods.
Tobacco was badly damaged by rain
and wind last week both in North and
South Carolina. Plants are well abreast
the season in work and growth in vir-
GINA and are promising in Kentucky. In
Tennessee cultivation Is needed but the
growth is reported to be very satisfac-
tory. q ats N
Sugar cane improved and peanuts are
making good progress.
Forage crops ara being planted under
