Since August 26th, the weather has been unfavorable in about 80 per cent of the cotton belt for a nor mal and healthy development of the cotton plant. Every State in the belt has suffered from the lack of moisture and excessive heat. In most sections the drought has been of so long a duration that the plant’s vitality has been so reduced that in 256 counties, or 38 per cent, the fruiting is lighter than normal, while in 225 counties, or 33 per cent, the plant has ceased fruiting altogether. In about 77 per cent of the coun ties a fair to good bottom crop has been made, in 40 per cent the mid dle crop is poor, while in 10 per I cent no middle crop will be made. In 83 per cent no top crop whatever is expected. Where ever the droughty condition and hot weather prevailed excessive shedding and premature opening is reported. Picking is progressing in all States. The boll weevil damage continues I light, but slightly heavier than last ; year. Os the 406 reported infested, 129 report serious damage. At this | date last year 451 counties were in , fested and damaging crops seriously jin 100 counties. The insect damage has been ex- I tremely light so far this year, but there are now serious complaints of the army worm in Texas. This pest has appeared in 46 counties in the State and although considerable poi soning is being done grave fears of serious damage are expressed. The percentage condition of the crop as a whole is 52.3 per cent, as compared with 59.1 per cent two weeks ago, 57.0 per cent the same late last year, and 52.8 per cent in 1923, and a ten year average of 57.2 per cent. The average deterioration so rail States is 6.8 per cent, as com pared with a ten year average de terioration of 5.3 per cent. The indicated yield per acre is 139.3 pounds, and this indicates a crop of 13,521,000 bales, based on the Gov ernment’s par yields and acreage. o • ••»»»«»*» VIOLA » * * *,* * • • » « Sunday school next Sunday after noon promptly at 3 o’clock; Vis itors welcome.
