The reports from the Times-Pica-

Of the cotton growing states indicate
that the cotton crop has made no
progress during the past month that
can well be expressed in percentages.
While better weather in the more
northerly portion of the western belt
has caused some betterment in the
growth and promise Of the plants, ex-
cessive rains boil weevil damage,
abandonment of acreage, scarcity of
labor making it impossible to proper
Iy cultivate the fields and the poor
fruiting of the plants in the central
and eastern portions of the cotton re-
gion have a little more than offset
the gains in the west. Even in Tex
as where moderate improvement is
indicated for the month, the gains
of the more northerly portions of the
state have been of set by deterioration
in the south due to excessively heavy
and constant rains and boil weeyil
activity.
The general average Of condition
for the belt as whole is indicated to
be $50 per cent of normal, deteriora-
tion of a small fraction over one point
