Generally More Optimistic
Situation Is Noted in
Monthly Report

DALLAS, Texas, June 81. - In
dustrial progress in the Eleventh Fed
eral Reserve district during the past
month included excellent crop con-
ditions, and accelerated movement
cotton. wool and wheat, and the form
alton of plans for raising a $50.0O0.-
900 fund for the relief of the live
stock industry in its present emergen-
cy, according to the monthly review
of business and industrial conditions
issued BY the Federal Reserve Bank
of Dallas. Other salient phases OF
the report follow:
No radical changes in the ordinary
indices of business conditions devel
oped in this section last month, the
report stated. Wholesale and retail
sales and collections showed slight in
creases over the month Of April. An
increase was recorded in public
spending, while bank clearings and
building activities showed slight de-
creases.
Credit readjustment continued
throughout the month, despite seas
onal conditions and influences which
have heretofore caused marked cred
il expansion, the review says.
Farm labor in the district is plenti-
full, despite the large exodus of Mex
leans from Texas TO the southern
republic. Harvesting Of grain crops
is providing employment for such OF
the idle labor in the larger cities,
The report states that labor condi-
tions throughout the district gen.
orally are satisfactory and free from
disturbances.
The general trend Of agricultural
conditions, as shown by the review.
reveals decided improvement since
the last report.
Condition of the Texas cotton crop
on May 20 was IL per cent normal,
as against so per cent a year ago.
Reports from various sections state
the plant is about two weeks l:te, on
the average. Some fear was expressed
or the safety Of the crop on account
of probable boil weevil damage, a
danger which, it is believed, has been
increased as a result Of the mild win
ter. Reports indicate many cotton
fields in Central and North Texas
are already infested with weevils. and
il il believed that damage from this
source will be greater than usual his
year.
Unfavorable reports from the fruit
growing sections of Texas indicate
the peach crop declined to so per
cent of normal.
Threshing of wheat is well under
way in Texas. and from Southern
Arizona and New Mexico como re-
ports Of good progress in the har-
vesting Of wheat and oats, with yields
somewhat diminished by drouth dur
irg the latter part of May.
The review summarizes the present
condition of agriculture in the elev-
enth district with encouraging state
ments, the principal exceptions to
the sources of optimism being the
continued drouth in Southern Arizona
and New Mexico. and the crop damage
inflicted in certain parts of Tsxas
by locally excessive rains.
Livestock ranges in the district
were greatly benefited by June rains.
Continued drouth in Southern Ari-
zona and Southern New Mexico, how
ever, has caused heavy livestock los
ses from starvation. necessitsting
much feeding, the review says.
