COTTON CROP CONDITION.
Synopsis Of Correspondents CONNER
cial Appeal, Published Monday.

Synopsis Vi
cial Appeal, Published Monday.
The condition of the growing cotton
crop is spotted, according to reports
to The Commercial Appeal from cor
respondents all over the belt, Of av-
erage date of Aug. 9.
The crop lost ground heavily in
Texas and Alabama, about held its
own, in Georgia, the Carolinas ana
Louisiana, and made big progress IN
of the belt. The prob
ably averages a slight deterioration
for the crop as whole, as the acreage
in Texas and Alabama is greater than
that in the states where improvement
was made, and deterioration in the
the two former states was about as
great as the improvement in the 9TH
ers.
. The Texas crop shows sharp deter.
;orat;on. In the west there is almost
no crop, in the south the outlook is
very poor, while the hitherto good con-
dition in the north and east has been
lowered somewhat by lack Of sum-
cient moisture. In Alabama too much
rain and boil weevil damage have
caused retrogression, although there
are good spots in the state.
In Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee
and Mississippi big Improvement Is !
reported. The plant has grown well
and Is fruiting satisfactorily. More
over. boil weevil damage is negligible
their depredations in Arkansas having
dwindled to almost nothing, while tht
boil weevil sections in Mississippi re-
mort the best outlook in many years
, Resides Alabama, where considerable
| damage is reported, the weevil is re
norted in many sections Of Georgia
but damage to date has not been large
The crop is still late as a WHOLE an
