CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
IN STATE OF TENNESSEE

Frank X Houston, vice-president
of the Chemical National Bank of
New York, was in Nashville last
week attendi 1g the Tennessee bank
ers' convention and meeting old Nash
vile friends.
Mr. Houston, who has l. tely trav-
eled extensively in the south, says
Tennessee is in a 25 per cent better
condition than any other state in the
section. He attributes this crafty
ing conditi IN of things to the state
Investigation of crops, instead of
having all her eggs in one basket.
In the states that he visited Mr..
Houston found indications of re-
duced cotton crop for this year, the
reduction amounting to 20 to 25 per
cent. This, he said, was due to sew
eral cause.-the movement for re-
duced acreage that has extended over
the South, the bad weather condi-
tions and the non-use of fertilizer.
The crop that is grown, however, will
be one of the most cheaply grown cot
ton crops the South has ever pro-
duced, he estimates.
AS a Tennessean Mr.. Houston was
much gratiiied at the success of the
bankers convention in Nashville and
at the general interest manifested in
it.
