The Cotton Crop
Conditions Not
at All Favorable

hv torrential rains and harassed By
swarms Of boil weevils, Old King
Cotton will be in the running this
year, according TO figures obtained
from the Texas Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton here. Held back by unfavor-
able weather, from three weeks TO
a month. all over the state, the Mon
arch of Texas, under the warm rays
Of the last few days, is fast over
taking the handicap.
From statistics, gathered from the
entire state, il is estimated the crop
will average around so per cent as
compared with II per cent for the
same date last year. Although fig
ures for this year are smaller than
those Of the year previous, the acre
age will show an increase from 70
10 per cent over 1921. Last years
acreage was considerably below nor

Planting. due 10 the floods this
year. Is about 7b per cent completed
Considerable planting yet remains to
be done. chiefly in the lowlands
where the ravages Of the flood
waters were worst. However with
hot, dry weather for a month or
so this work viii proceed rapidly.
Choping is only from 40 TO so per

cent finished in the central portion
OF the state Stands. while irregular

healthy condition.
Progress has been made in rulti-
walton. whore the weather and the
soil would permit, but there are
may complaints of foul fields caus-
ed mainly by weed and grass having
grown up before farmers could plow
after the rains.
Damage from boil weevils viii be
heavy this year. according 70 the
number Of reports from communities
where the pest Is already present
The extent Of weevil damage viii
be determined by the weather from
now on. according 10 Farm Bureau
officials The delayed start Of the
crop with the resulting lateness IN
maturity, gives better opportunity
for the damage Of the weevil to be
more serious than If the crop had
gotten away 20 a normal start.
What is needed now, more than
anything. is hot, dry weather TO en-
able farmers TO get into the fields
to finish planting and cultivation.
With favorable weather the lateness
Of the crop can be overcome TO a
certain extent and the condition Of
