Fine weather during October was util-
lied by farmers in the picking of cotton,
and the staple will show a better yield
than was expected.

some sections of the state and on the
whole will show fairly good yield, as
compared with average years.
Rain in some sections of the state
about the 18th helped pastures and graz
ing has been good. A good crop of pea
hay has been saved.
