 Commenting on the crop tb. E tistician was impressed by tbe ,,s that in most localities north os ' Arkansas river the sentiment Y vailed that cotton had improved dos the past month, but the figure, al mitted by correspondents were spsl iy lower, and from the southern Fl of the State very much lower f ,1 is quite apparent that the repor, sl much influenced by the presene boil weeyil, and by the possibHiy the harm that the insect might This is the case in some of the ne4I infected counties, and where the festation is not heavy. There N places in the Central and souasl part of the State where it is rep1I that the boil weeyil is getting the fu| just as fast as it appears.
 The most remarkable develoDna| and one that does not seem to hs| been given the attention that it gll rants is the increased area of tnissl ton. The weevils are present aI working in both St. Francis and Cd counties. in Crittenden and Mis| sippi, also in Independence and Iai renee; and in the western part O Il State in Pope and Scott counties. damage done in these lastnaal counties is thus far slight but I doubtedly the presence of the gsg is threatening and may later result considerable loss. Of the SeV9l counties in the State which grow ton, fifty-five are now more or affected by the presence of boil T vii. In the sections of the State vha have been under the boil weeYi ditions for a number of years iaaI is hardly a report but what mensl the presence or the injury done the insect. Outside of boil weevil injury tha Is very little complaint. Many rela from various sections of the speak of the best prospect in The reports from Desha and ch are better than for several years
 From the Arkansas river Yaliey of Little Rock, reports are exllea favorable, though there are a rev ports from Sebastian and CTa7p counties of too much rain. Ihes similar complaints from Mlllel
 fayette and Hampstead Counus Southwest Arkansas, though uN respondents speak of the fine gv of the plant in these last-namsu tricts. Conditions are unquestl0l much spotted, different sections ' same counties being unusually
 or below average. There are lsoa complaints of poor fruiting, put II counties visited by the stalsu during the past month it was ns seryation that in general the l were well fruited, with eompal'D little shedding.
 The reports from Greene @ coung the most optimistic, with olaa ,.. sett. and Gross closely losg' l.' Greene County, with eondlu'l ure of 96, is leading this sla@
 lowest reports are from s11
