GOOD CONDITION

Reports to the Commercial Appeal,
81 the average date Of J1ly "a, indi-
cate that the cotton crop is making
satisfactory progress throughout
nearly all areas.
Weather conditions have been more
favorable than otherwise, but tending
to drouth in sections of Texas and
Oklahoma to the detriment of the
crop. sections eastward received too
much rain and temperatures were
slightly too low, stimulating boil
weevil activity, although growth of
plant and fruiting were probably
promoted
There were some scattered reports
Of excessive shedding, principally
from Georgia and Texas, attributed
mostly to boil weevil punctures, Boil
weevils constitute the principal mem
ace to the future of what appears
now to be an excellent crop prospect.
So far, taking the belt as whole,
boil weevil damage, while important,
is comparatively light.
Weevil are reported to be numerous
and spreading in southern border
counties Of North Carolina, and have
made new invasions in Tennessee, but
everywhere checked by spells Of hot
weather, although the weather. at
times, has been highly favorable to
boil weevil activity.
With the exception Of portions of
Texas and Oklahoma, mostly western
portions, nearly all sections Of the
belt have had enough, if not too much,
rain. Temperatures in the West, in
Guiding Western Arkansas and all of
Louisiana, with the exception Of the
northeast, were somewhat above sea-
sonal normal. In portions Of Texas
and Oklahoma the heat was intense.
Elsewhere throughout the belt tenn
peratures were slightly subnormal.
REPORTS from correspondents indi-
eating crop deterioration during the
30 days prior to the date Of this re-
port were the exception Almost
without exception correspondents re-
port that the prospects are better
than at the same time last year. The
condition of the crop in South Caro-
lima and Georgia appears to be rela-
tive poorer than elsewhere, while in
the central belt the condition is rela-
tiveI-, good. Marked improvement in
the West offsets any deterioration
that may have occurred in the At
lanties.
Texas is having about its usual ex-
perience with leaf worms; rust, red
spider, etc, are mentioned in corre-
sDondence from other states; boil
weevil appear to be the only insect
enemy really to be feared. South
Carolina is handicapped by lack of
fertilizer, and some Of the fields have
been allowed to become grassy
The plant everywhere is fruiting
fairly well to excellently, although mi
South Carolina the plant in many sec
lions is small.
This report is based on correspon-
dence covering in detail 1872 counties,
Or parishes, in the 10 principal cotton
growing states.

Over 300 Wilson County Farm Women
Attend Club Camp.

The first camp for women, men,
bers of home demonstration clubs, to
be held in Tennessee was held in Will
son county recently. The camp was
attended by over 300 women, and
Mary s. Henderson, home demonstra-
ton agent, who arranged the event,
was greatly surprised, as she had
felt that it would be a great success
if she could get 100 women to attend,
Miss Henderson states in her report
of the camp that it was a real va
cation for the women and that they
had a most enjoyable as well as
profitable time. An ideal place was
secured for the camp, two cooks were
employed and meals served cafeteria
style. An excellent program was given
each day. Mrs. Hattie F. Wendell
district agent; Miss Margaret AM
brose, director of women's work, dis
cussed topics of general interest to
women; Mrs. Lena Warner and Miss
Evelyn Chase gave health talks and
Mrs. Kate Wells discussed poultry
topics and gave some valuable
demonstrations A very interesting
feature of the camp was butter
Judging contest, given under the sup
ervision of A. L. Cade, manager of
the Wilson County Creamery. Most
Of the women brought along note
books and showed an eagerness to
learn everything they possibly could
of up-to-date methods pertaining to
home-making.
At the close Of the camp a county
wide organization of women was
formed and plans made for meeting
in November They also voted to
make the camp an annual event. Miss
Ambrose stated that the camp was
a wonderful success and that it will
no doubt be the beginning of a num-
Der of such events in the state, which
will not onlv give farm women va
cation, but chance to comingle with
their neighbors and to secure much
valuable information that will be of |
value to them in the affairs of their
homes.
Hogs Turn Corn Into Real Profit. |
There are more ways of selling
corn than one. Some ways are more
profitable than others. Tom Grove,
one of Maury cOunty's most progress
i've farmers, has found that one of
the most profitable methods Of sell
ing grain is by feeding it to hogs.
Here's the record Mr.. Grove made:
On March he had rs pigs, which |
total of 1900 pounds, or a
fed them corn, skinned milk and al
lowed them the range of good pas
ture. On May II these same pigs
weiged a total of 1900 pounds, or
gain of 1884 pounds. During the
period between March and May II
Mr.. Grove fed his shoats 1876 bushels
IF corn, which, if figured at the pres
ent market price of $3.50 per barrel,
Or 70 cents per bushel, cost him
S116,20. Then the gains scored by
MS hogs cost him S4.32 per hunrded |
pounds. It therefore may be readily
seen that he made a splendid profit |
when he sold his hogs under contract
at 1915 per hundred pounds f. 0. b.
MS farm.
Mr.. Grove is but one Of the many
Tennessee farmers who have found |
hat the feeding of hogs is the most |
profitable manner of disposing of
corn.

Lumber Company, arrived in BogaIusa
Friday on ten days business trip.
He said he expected the present year
to be a fairly good business year and
that the price of the lower grade of
lumber had already taken slight ad-
vance, while the better grade of timber
is firm. Colonel Goodyear inspected
the new drawbridge across Pearl river
at the foot of Louisiana avenue and
said he was enthusiastic over what it
will mean to the people of Pearl River
county, Mississippi, and Washington
parish, Louisiana. Besides opening up
vast new territory. it will attract
motorists from all parts of the counr

of the Mississippi Valley Highway.
Colonel Goodyear said he was Of the
