CROP REPORT,
Cotton Has Suffered For Want

PICKING GREATLY RETARDED

Atlanta, Sepr. l t 10QL
The characteristic features of August
weather were very heavy rams in most
of the counties of the state, while the
temperature ranged slightly* below the
normal, as a result of which the cotton
crop suffered materially for the waut of
sunshine and warmer weather. Henoe
many complaints have reached the de
partment concerning injury from rust,
rotting of bolls and ravages of the
boll worm, so that the crop condi
tions on Sept. 1 are far from satisfacto
ry. The average condition of the oottou
orop has falleu from 64 per cent on June
1 to 75 per cent on Sapt l.
In addition to the fact that the cotton
crop is 16 days late, picking has been
Very materially retarded, owing to tne
August rains.
Ihe condition and prospects of corn,
which ou June 1 were 60 per oent, were
on Sept. 1 77 per oeut. This de
crease in the prospects of the corn
orop was caused in many cases
oy overflows of the creeks anu
rivers, resulting from the excessive
August rains. A large per cent of the
fodder also has been dumaged by the
same agenoy and this forage will be
unusually .-cu'ce the coming year.
Most of the cane, sweet potatoes, peas,
ground ;ca- , Upland riocaud the grasses
promise well.

THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS
And the Librarian Cnnld Not Annrrt
One of Them,
One day two well dressed young wo
men approached the desk of the read
ing room of n big library. Cue of them
took a memorandum from her pocket-
book.
“Cun you tell me how mnn.v ynrds--
ob, that's the wrong liRt.’” she said,
hastily bringing forth another slip of
paper. "Here It is. Will you pleas*
Tell me who is Rudyard Kipling's 'h-
vorlte author?”
“1 am unable to tell you. never hnv-
Ing heard that he had one.” admitted
oue of the librarians.
“Deal mel" said the young woman
Irritably. “It is oue of the questions
for our next club meeting. Well, which
oue of Thackeray's books brought him
the mosi Income?”
“That you can probably Qnd out by
consulting a book, the nmber or which
I will give you.” said the official.
“Oh, 1 can’t stop to look It up I” she
said hurriedly. “1 thought you could
tell me at once. Well, there's one more
thing. Bessie Cummock, my cousin lo
Manchester, had a splendid book whim
I was there last year for uuecdotes of
famous people. I cau’t remember the
name of It or who wrote it, but It was
about so big”—Illustrating with one Hu
ger on tbe desk—"and It bus a dark
green cover. Now, can you tell me
what It is? Some day when I have
time I would like to get It out Or
course you must have It In tbe libra
ry?”
For the third time the official was
obliged to confess his inability to give
her direct Information. She looked at
him with a piercing gaze and turned
away, saying audibly to her compan
ion:
“There, that Just shows what all this
talk about their being examined for
positions In libraries amounts to: Three
perfectly simple questions, all on liter
ary subjects, and be couldn't answer
one of tbeinl”—Savings Journal.
Tbe Toothpick Habit.
“I’d like to know what my custom
ers do with all the toothpicks they car
ry away,” remarked a restaurant pro
prletor the other day. “Few men take
a single toothpick. Most ef them take
half a dozen and many u whole hand
ful. and when they come In here again
for the next meal they take ns many
over again. They don't need them It's
all due to the toothpick chewing habit,
which seems to be growing. There
Isn’t anytblug particularly pleasant
about chewiug a wooden toothpick, and
it tnliy be Injurious if a piece of the
wood lodges In the throat or gets dowu
