COTTON CROP CONDITIONS

The condition Of the growing cot
ton crop is 1913 per cent of normal,
according to reports from cores
pondents Of the Commercial Appeal
from over the belt.
This figure compares with a gov
eminent condition on August Is of
678 per cent, 563 per cent on Sep
TENDER % last year, and a 10-year
average of 65.7. The loss in condi-
ton fer September is 8 points, which
compares with 40 last year, and TO-
year average Of So points. The ex-
cessive loss may be explained, how
ever, from the fact that this years
crop lost only 2.5 points in August,
due to lateness of the plant
Based upon the above condition
figures the indicated yield is 1913
900 bales, according to the govern
ment method of considering condi-
ton of 100 per centeon this date as
indicative of per acre yield Of 278
pounds.
Unfayorable weather conditions, to-
gether with heavy insect damage,
especially from boil weevil in infest-
ed areas, may be held responsible
for the big loss in condition sus-
tanned by the crop during the month,
Temperatures have been too low a
great part of the time. while sudden
changes from hot to cold have caus-
ed shedding of fruit from a plant
never too well fruited. Too much
rain in some localities has alseseaus-
ed some damage. .s'Aee
Boil weeyil have about destroyed
the top crop and have damaged the
middle crop in infested areas of Ar
Kansas, Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia, and have done considerable
damage in localities in Texas. Over
practically all this area no top crop
is looked for. Owing to the extreme
lateness of the crop The late fruitage
when unmolested by insects, is in Sc
rious danger of damage by frost of
average date.
The lateness of the crop is being
emphasized by the lateness of pick
ing getting under way. There are
many local reports of premature OPP
ening, and in dry Southern Texas
picking is about completed. But in
the Northern half of the belt picking
is just beginning, and along the ex-
treme northern border gins have not
yet begin to run.
There are some complaints of labor
shortage, but as a rule there will
probably be enough to harvest the
crop. There axe many growers dis
posed to hold for high prices, but as
rule correspondents report that
most growers will sell above 20 cents,
but stubbornly resist a decline be-
low that figure.

be impossible to get sufficient seed
wheat to meet this incr asel demand.
Last year was unfavorable for wheat
and the crop was somewhat short.
The big question with many farmers
has been, where can seed wheat be
secured"
In order to locate sources Of seed
wheat for those that wanted it, as
near their home as possible, and to
provide profitable market for those
wheat growers that want to sell a
surplus Of seed, the Division of Ex-
tension conducted survey in the
large wheat growing counties Of the
state, getting the name of the far
mers who had wheat and rye seed
for sale, the variety and the price
they wanted
The results of this suvey have been
most satisfactory, and have been
compiled into a bulletin which is free
to any one DESTROYS of locating
sources of seed wheat and rye, who
will write the Division of Extension,

The Rev. J. o. Peoples, negro Bap-

allowed to return to his flock. The

jailed on charge of being drunk and
disorderly. "A nigguh gave me de
likkah, sah," he explained in court.
AS Court Sergt. Joe Cole opened
the gate to freedom for the Rev. J.

The Reverend was game. "Yassah,
