CROP CONDITIONS
BELOW NORMAL IN
KLEBERG COUNTY
Cotton Just Coming Up and
Corn Three Weeks
Late.
KingsyiIIe. Tex. ApriI r.

Kingsville, Tex, April f2.-Crop
conditions in Kleberg county are re-
ported below normal for the first of
April. Cotton is just beginning to
come up and corn is from two to three
weeks late. Cotton is not coming up
to good stands because farmers are
compelled OF pillow their land late and
wet. This has caused the ground to
become cloddy.
Recent dry weather made it impos-
sible to prepare the ground as it
should be with the result that mois-
ture has disappeared on the surface
and the seed will not sprout.
Ranges and pastures are reported in
better condition than for many years
and the spring shipments of cattle,
which are beginning, see more fat cat
tie going to market than during the
last several years. The movement of
cattle TO pastures in other sections for
fattening purposes is very light and
has been the last month.
IL the present weather holds there
will be very few shipments made to
other states for this purpose.

DRY WEATHER AIDS
IN GETTING GROUND
READY FORPLANTING
No Increase Expected in
Lockhart Cotton
Acreage.

LOckhart, Tex, April IA week
of dry weather has been taken advan-
tage of by the farmer and much land
has been put in condition for seed
planting. Tons of cotton seed have
been hauled out, and planting will
be started within the next ten days.
Corn is up to good stand and if
seasonable weather prevails a good
crop will be made. Spring oats are
doing well. but the crop is short. Much
feedstuff is being shipped in.
No increase in the cotton acreage
is thought possible here as the main
crop in the north and western section
of the county is cotton.

COTTON NEEDS RAIN
Farmers Forced to Irrigate by Con-
tinued Dry Weather.

San Benito. Tex. April 12.-The
continued dry weather recently has
made it necessary for cotton farmers
to use irrigation water on their fields.
The fields had to be replanted in near
ly every case twice and in some three
times. A good warm rain. the farm
ers say. would start all of the crops
off nicely.
Farmers say that there are from
1000 TO 1000 acres of land to be
planted for the first time to cotton.
The outlook is not very good at pres
ent, but with rain and the right kind
of weather, the Valley still has time
to produce a record cotton crop.
