COTTON AND THE WEATHER.

Cool Nights Somewhat Interfere With
Normal Growth.
Washington, July 10.-Cocl nights
in the eastern portion of the cotton
belt interfered somewhat with normal
growth of cotton during the last
week, the National Weather and Crop
bulletin announced today. The tenn
perature average about normal and
the situation was summarized as q
fairly good week for cotton.
The statement follows:
The temperature during the week
averaged about normal throughout
the cotton belt, but the nights were
too cool for best growth in the Wes-
tern portions. Except for good show.
ers in Georgia and the Carolinas at
the close of the week, and some rain
iall in Eastern and Northern Texas,
practically no precipitation occurred
in the cotton belt during the week.
Rainfall was heavy at few points
in Texas. The soil is becoming dry in
much of the cultivation growing
areas, but the lack of moisture has not
yet proven detrimental to cotton, ex-
cept in portions of Texas. The wealth
er was favorable for cultivation and
the fields are generally free of grass.
Cotton made coed growth and is
blooming freely in Oklahoma and is
fruiting well and in good to excellent
condition in Arkansas and louisiana
The plants are growing satisfactorily
in Alabama and Mississippi, and bolls
are developing normally in Georgia,
but the crop is not making rapid
growth in the latter State. 1t was
too dry for the best results in this
southern portion Of South Carolina
until near the close of the week, but
the rain of the Sth will be very
beneficial in that section. The crop
is making satisfactory progress and
Is fruiting well in Tennessee and
North Carolina. Boil weevils are do
ing some damage in the central and
southern portions of Alabama, but
are somewhat less active in Mississi-
ppi, while only a few complaints OF
this pest were received from Arkan-
sas"
