M’SWEENEY AND TILLMAN ANSWER — Excessive rains in June drouth in July and August, extrern: hot weather, immature opening aud rust It will be seen that our September re ports shows the cotton condition to b 67., as against the August report, which then showed 74., a decrease for August of 7 points. All other states in the cotton bel: show a decline in August from 3 to 1 points. Tho loss amounts to 3 points in Florida and Alabama, 6 in Texas, 7 it Louisiana and Georgia, 13 in Tennessee and South Caroliua, 16 in North Caro lina, 18 iu Arkansas. The government reports the condition in different states on Sept. 1, 1900, a; follows: Georgia, 69; Virginia, 73; North Caro liua, 64; South Carolina, 60; Louisiana, 70; Texas, 77; Arkansas, 65; Tennessee, 04: Missouri, 64; Oklahoma, 18; Indian Territory, 72; Florida, 71. Average of All States. On Sept. 1, 1899, the government gave out the following report as the condition of the cotton crop: North Carolina, 73; South Carolina, 66; Georgia, 69; Florida, 77; Alabama, 76; Mississippi, 78; Louisiana, 74; Tex as, 61; Arkansas, 62; Tennessee. 76. Average of states, 71.2. If these figures show anything, points to a smaller crop than 1899 by several huudred thousand bales. Hence, we believe that 12 cent cotton is not a: all improbable.—Georgia Agricultural Department. Questions Answered. Is there any objection to planting peach trees on newly cleared land? Ans. Iu my opinion newly cleared land should never be planted iu peach trees if other good peach laud is availa ble. Land should be cultivated at least two years after clearing before plan tin,: it in orchard. The reason: New laud cannot be prop erly prepared for the reception of treed on account of the roots of the forest trees. Thorough preparation of the round before planting is one of the essential factors in fruit growing. Deep preparations before planting and shallow cultivation afterwards is the rule. Furthermore, trees planted on new land are subject to the attacks of Ter mites or “wood-lice,” as they are com monly known to the fruit grower. These insects breed iu great numbers iu de caying roots of forest trees aud when fruit trees are planted in new land they fall an easy prey to these “wood-lice, 1 which attack the roots aud the base of the tree. The remedy for “wood-lice” is tobacco dust. The dirt should be re moved from the bas9 of the tree aud a hand full of tobacco dust applied and the dirt thrown back.

Cotton, canteloupes, sweet pota toes and peas. It is not desirable to plant corn or any grain crop in an orchard. Cotton is, perhaps, by far the best crop to grow in an orchard. It practically insures a good cultivation for the trees almost throughout the season, just what they need. No good farmer will fail to cultivate his cotton crop, but he may neglect his trees. When peas are planted in an orchard they should be planted in drills and cultivated so that the trees will not suffer for cultivation. Never sow,peas broadcast in an orchard and thus pre vent cultivation. These crops may be profitably grown with the trees only for the first two or three years. No crop should be grown in an orchard after the third year.— Georgia Department of Entomology. Mukphy, N.
