lands STILL ADVANCING.

The values of lands in Lowndes
county are still advancing. This is
the result of two things the contin-
ued high price of all agricultural
products and the promise that they
will remain high for a long time TO
come. This is primarily the reason.
Another cause is the enormous de-
mand for these lands There is
scarcely a week that there are not
land seekers here and they are look
ing for all kinds of lands, prairie
as well as sandy loan lands.
Between the present time and the
first of the year the volume of bust
uess in the sale of lands will be en-
ormous. The demand is increasing
every day and with every sale the
land available for sale is reduced.
Several sales were made the past
week and more are pending.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.


WASHINGTON. Sept. Am M-
crease during August of 1l4,0 bales
in the prospective cotton crop this
year was shown in tOday's cotton re-
port of the Department of Agricul-
ture, which forecast total of IL ,23o,
900 bales. The condition of the crop,
Ola per cent Of normal, showed a
decline Of 81 points from July 25 to
Aug. rs, compared with an average
decline during the last ton years of
IA points.
Boil weevil, boil worm, army worm
and red spider, combined with almost
continuous rains over considerable
areas Of the belt, with dry, hot wealth
er following the heavy rains, caused
the deterioration of the crop.
In Virginia, Georgia and Florida
the leeline was heaviest, being IL
poMts in Florida and II in Georgia
and Florida. In Alabama it was 8
points and in North Carolina and
Texas points. q.
Sea Island cotton in Georgia and
Florida practically has been destroy
ed by boil weevil, which are now dam
againg the crop in South Carolina,
having appeared on the islands off
the coast.
In Mississippi and Alabama, where
the crop is short because of the boil
weevil, most of it will be harvested
by Oct. !. Outside the weevil-infest-
ed areas the crop continues two
weeks or more late.
