CROP CONDITION
IS UNCHANGED
According to Commercial Appeal Cor
respondents Published This
Morning.

The cotton crop about broke ever
during the past fortnight. In Texas
and Oklahoma there was some slight
improvement reported. Georgia anc
North Carolina about hold their own
while there was further deterioration
in the remainder of the belt.
The crop is opening rapidly, proba-
bly, more rapidly than ever before
known at this time Of the year. Far
mers are picking about as fast as the
bolls open, and in majority Of cases
the seed cotton is being run through
the gin and lint offered for sale. There
is some talk, however, of withdrawing
offerings at below Is cents, basis mid
ding. Growers in some of the sec
tions of Mississippi and Alabama
where the outlook is poorest consti
tute an exception to the general rule
to sell as fast as ginned.
Boil weevil ravages continue over a
constantly widening range of terri
tory. Over large sections Of Missis-
sippi and Alabama the crop is prac-
tical failure as result of storm dam
age, followed by boil weevil depreda-
tions. Some damage is also being
done'in Texas, Louisiana and Southern
Georgia.
