Conditions Good.

This week the seeding Of the
ground to cotton Is on in full blast
and with conditions ideal, a good
stand is predicted by gin men and
growers, barring accident in the next
ten days.
There is plenty Of moisture in The
ground and splendid conditions have
made it possible to prepare ideal
seed beds for the crop With warm
weather in evidence, the crop should
be sprouted in five to six days.
growers declare. The only danger.
it is pointed out is beating rain
within the nexxt ten days or two
weeks. Should such occur. it Is pos
sible that some of the acreage would
have to be re1planted as the young
and tender plants would, in many
cases, be either buried by the wash
ing soil or beat into the ground.
Cotton men say, however, that
despite the splendid showing made
last year, they will be satisfied in
the face of the increased acreage if
Grady produces as much cotton in
1920 as in 1919, which latter crop
was far above the average.
