Publication mat this the 26th day i jun26 3wks fri COTTON CROP PLANT IS MAKING GOOD HEAD WAY IN THIS STATE. Weather Conditions Have Been Favor able to Growth, and Late Planting Is Taking on a Very Rapid Growth —The Weevil's Work. Reports from over the state concern ing the condition of the cotton crop continue to be of satisfactory charac ter, and the staple is making rapid progress toward maturity. A substantial Improvement in the condintion of that portion of the crop replanted after the May rains is being shown, and the farmers are encourag ed to believe that this portion of the acreage will be matured unless the frost period is exceptionally early. In the southwestern section of the state the planters are sowewhat wor ried ov er the boll weevil invasion and in Wilkinson and Adams counties it is feared that the yield will not be more than fifty per cent of the normal, ow ing to the ravages of that pest. Under normal conditions those two counties raise from 60,000 to 60,000 bales, and the boll weevil invasion therefore means an appreciable curtailment. In a few counties, notably Smith and Simpson, the farmers are complaining of a lack of rain, which is , causing more injury, however, to the corn crop and gardens than to the cotton acre age.
