 Sections of District.

Lesser-G Goldman Cotton Company of Newport has issued the following report:
 As result of our recent crop inquiry we are able to report conditions in Newport territory as follows:
 Newport Wagon Territory Dam- age by rain and overflow 20 per cent. Decrease in acreage per cent. La Dor is scarce and high. Weather for the past ten days has been very fav- orable. Stands are good. Crop il generally clean and ten days earlier than last year.
 Rock Island Ky. (Including Augus- ta and McCrory) Flood and rain damage ? to 5 per cent. Decrease ip acreage 5 per cent. Weather favor able. Labor scarce Stands fair to good. Crop is clean and 10 to 15 days earlier than normal.
 Iron Mountain Ky, North, (Includ- ing Frisco West of Hoxiel Fland damage 15 per cent. Decrease in acreage 10 per cent. Weather favor able. Labor scarce Stands fair to good. Crops generally grassy and 10 days earlier on the L M. By, and to z days later than normal on the Fris- GO.
 Iron Mountain, South, (Including M. & N. Ark, Ry., above Kensett) Flood damage per cent. Acreage same as last season. Weather favor able. Labor scarce. Stands good. Crops clean. 5 to z per cent increase in use of fertilizer Crop 10 days earlier than normal.
 White River RyFlood damage 121a per cent. Decrease in acreage 5 per cent. Weather for past ten days has been favorable. Labor scarce. Stands are fair to good Crop 60 per cent clean. Increase in use of fertilizer IS per cent. Seven days earlier than normal.
 Taking the territory as a whole we estimate that there has been in the neighborhood of 5 per cent damage to crop by rains and overflows. There is from 3 to per cent decrease in acreage planted. The weather for the past ten days has been very flaw orable and plant growth has been extraordinary. Labor conditions in the territory are very grave and with the existing and growing scarcity of labor it is difficult to see how big crop may be made and harvested. Stands are generally good and to this date the crop is reasonably clean. There is an increase in the use of fer tilizer on the White River Ry., M. & N. Ark, and I. M. Ky, South. The crop is on an average to 10 days earlier than normal. Approximately the same acreage of staple cotton has been planted this year as was planted last. In this connection attention il called to the adoption of a rule by the Arkansas Cotton Association. At a meeting in Pine Bluff on May 29th, making "half and half" and other cottons of less than 718 staple un- merchantable cotton

liver is the most important. also the
most abused and neglected organ OF
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
