America to settle her old debt to
France. He said that he was willing
at least to give the Huns credit for
bringing about this harmony between

was going to result in putting an end

average of production is 1925 bales.
In the spring and early summer pro-
traeted rains made farm work almost
impossible and by the time improve
ment in the weather made the culti-
walton of the crop practicable, the cot
ton had gotten so badly in the grass
that farmers found it more profitable
to pillow up and plant other crops. Lab
or shortage played a highly important
part in acreage abandonment, which
is reported as heavy.
Boil weevil activities have been the
worst in many years. Army worms

points for the month. The average of
deterioration for the past ten years is
5 points. The ten-year average of
