usually grown on a farm, are looking
well and the season's have been alto

As the work on the farm is almost
completed, it is Mr. Culpepper's In

France favor 'the commission with
suggestions in the Interest of trade

received, and much data of a useful
character in framing a new treaty
is at hand.
While no attempt will be made by

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.
