CROP EVILS BESET
 COTTON IN SOUTH
ACTIVITY BY BOIL WEEYIL
Too Cool. Too Much Rain and Late ness Drawbacks, But Outlook
 Equals July 9 Standing.

Temperatures were too low for cot. first 10 days of August, rains were too frequent over wide areas anc heavy in many sections, and boil weevil became more active, but the crop as whole held it's own
 Reports to the Commercial Appeal by its regular correspondents indicate that the outlook for a cotton crop is fully as promising as it was on July 9. These reports are of the average date of Aug. 10.
 Complaints of grass worm are being heard from Texas to the Carolinas but the chief drawbacks in the crop outlook are boil weevil and the fact that crop averages. about two weeks late.
 The weather has been conducive to weed growth rather than to fruit age, while in southern sections east of the Mississippi river, in Louisiana and over portions of Central and Eastern Texas 6oll weevil depreda- tions have mad tendency to check blooming. Fruiting is far to satis- factory.
 Cotton fields are usually clean, al- though there are exceptions, and farmers in boil Weeyil districts are not laying by but continue to blow as one of the most effective methods of fighting the pest.
 Picking has begun in a small way in South Georgia and in Louisiana, and in Southern Texas gins ere run ming full time.
 Louisiana was the only one of the 10 principal cotton producing states, reports from which indicate excessive deterioration since July 25 This was more than offset by improvement in Oklahoma.
 The crop from this time forward needs all the hot sunshine it can get. While there were some complaints of lack of moisture, such conditions were local, and the tendency to drouth was not serious enough to cause damage.

ROAD ISSUE WINS
 IN TWO COUNTIES

Jackson and Howard counties de- cively defeated candidates running on tickets opposing good roads, according to primary returns from those two counties. John H. Keel, prominent politician and former state senator, made the race in Jackson for state senator with a platform opposed to good roads, andwas defeated by a bigJmajority. In Howard county, the opponents of hard surfaced roads put out an entire ticket for all county offices, but succeeded in electing only one of their number.
