Serious Drought Reported.

Serious drought in portions of Texas
and western Oklahoma; too much rain
IN many parts of the eastern, southern
and central belt: weevil damage in
Arkansas. Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
rama. Florida and Georgia. late crops
everywhere, with poor stands in many
places, are the Influences which have
unfavorably affected the cotton crop
in July.
The drought has assumed serious
proportions in much of southern, south
central and western Texas and west
ern Oklahoma. The crop over that en-
TIRE section is very poor. and nothing
less than several inches of rain at an
early date can help it
There has been too much rain in
the eastern section of the Carolinas,
and in some portions of other cotton
states, excepting Texas and Oklahoma

Weevils Doing Damage.

Weevils are doing damage in the
wet portions of the states embraced in
the INFESTED area, but some sections in
tne Oldest infested areas report splen-
did crop prospects. Except where it
mas been too wet. cultivation Is better
than usual.
DRY weather in May and June en-
abled farmers to clean out their crops,
ana they have remained clean. South
carolina, Georgia and Louisiana re-
port wilt or black-root on some sandy
soils.
The crop has recovered some of its
lateness, but will average probably two
weeks over the entire south. In many
sections in the eastern belt top dress
ing with nitrate of soda or other fer
tilizers has been resorted to. Where
conditions have been in any way favor
able the crop looks well, has a splendid
color and is fruiting splendidly. To
date the labor supply has been gem
orally adequate, though there is some
lear expressed as to the supply of

Attack on Reyes
Opens the Defence
For Miss Varney
Murdered Woman's Hus-
band Charged With De-
ception and Betrayal

DEDHAM, Mass, Dec r. Counsel
for Harriet A. yarney, on trial for the
murder of Pauline A. Keyes, opened the
defence to-day with an attack upon
Mrs. Keyes's husband, George II. Reyes,
the chief witness for the state.
Daniel P. Callahan, junior counsel for
the defendant, recited in his opening
address the alleged betrayal, deception
and i'll treatment of Miss Varney by
Reyes.
William +. Kingston. Of Wollaston,
after qualifying as an expert in hand
writing was shown a number of checks
and letters written by Reyes. He was
then shown an anonymous note received
by Reyes and declared he believed it 10
have been written by the same hand.
REORGANIZATION by District Attorney
Katzmann went deeply into details of
the experts reasons for this opinion.
The anonymous note, which bore the
postmark of the Roxbury branch Office
in the Boston postal district, was ad
dressed 70 Keyes at the house in Bos
ton to which he moved after his wife
was killed, and was mailed July so,
more than a month after Miss Varney's
arrest. II read:
"You may not be implicated in this
matter. but certain it is such as you are
Just as bad as she who committed the
crime. Such as you should be punished
in some way, and there might be les
son taught by it. That dear, sweet, in
nocent girl to be the victim of such a
foul deception as you certainly prac-
tised on her-and to meet such an end!
"She Did Commit the Crime"
eve who knew her loved her, and il
is a cruel shame that her life should
have been taken in this way. There is
no God of Justice if such as you and
she 90 unpublished for this crime.
Some one else can eavesdrop and lis
ten as well as she, and one who knows
more than but few know will tell her
story when the time comes. She did
commit the crime, and | hope she will
be punished"
Attorney Callahan, in his opening
statement, said Miss Varney would go
on the witness stand and tell her story
of her relations with Reyes. He de
clared she would tell how Reyes i'll
treated her and how she gave him
money whenever she had it and he
wanted it, Although her statement to
the District Attorney as presented by
the state denied she had been recently
in Brookline, her counsel said she
would tell of going there a week before
the murder to see Mrs. Reyes and con-
fess "the whole miserable story" and
how, when her plan failed because Mrs.
Reyes was not at home, Keyes the next
day begged her not to tell his wife.
Outlines Her Alibi
Her abb on June 10, the day Mrs.
Reyes was killed, was outlined, includ-
ing her. statement that between the
time the train on which she came from
North Grafton reached Boston at 1911
a. m. and the time she went to meet
Reyes at about II: 80 she sat in the
Back Bay station, in Boston, reading a
paper. Medical testimony offered by
the prosecution had indicated that Mrs.
Reyes was killed two hours before the
finding of her body at 20 p. m.
The first witness called by the de-
fence testified that Miss Varney took
the train due in Boston at 10:ll and
not the one an hour earlier.
