CROOP OUTLOOK
IS VERY GLOOMY
Has Deteriorated Due to the
Drought.
Montgomery, Ala., September
<5,—“I- have never known the
cotton crop to deteriorate so
much in the same length of time
in my life as it has in the last
ten days.” These were the
words of President W. II. Sey¬
mour, of the Alabama division,
of the cotton Association, today.
He made up his conclusion from
reports from county correspond¬
ents, which have been received
his office for the past few days,
and from which lie is making up
His September report. He be¬
lieves that the crop is 111 rather
worse fix than many think, and
that it will nor have time to re¬
cover from tne drv weather*dam¬
age (hat is now Irarrassing it be¬
fore the frost falls. ,
The reports that come to Mr.
Seymour show a general falling
off of the crop, due to the drouth
that is prevalent in every part of
the state, and to spots where
there has been too much rain.
In some pa its of southeast Ala¬
bama the crop has been mate¬
rially damaged by moisture,
while in an extended way all of
the state lms been hurt by the
dry weather. There has been
much shed-ling and the fruit
thrown off mors largely than
thought for. Much of the plant¬
ing will yiel 1 only in the bottom
crop, the top having been thrown
off.
Early in the season there was
a world of ram, and the stalk
grow up quickly and full of sap.
it was not able to stand the hot
gun, arid has wilted, and dried
out, so that it has not been able
bo furnish nourishment to the
limbs and the bolls. Some sec¬
tions have shown rusty and a
number Iqive lost heavily bv the
boll worm. Mufffi of the crop is
opening prematurely, east Ala
buna suffering much in this way.
The average is between 70 and 75,
which, if maintained, will not
give the state an output of a
million bales, while the normal
is a millibn and ^quarter. Takep,.
as a whole, not only for Alabama,
but much of the entire section.
President Seymour thinks the
crop outlook is gloomy. The
crop is so late that it is dealing
with weather too hot for its ma¬
turity, In other words, the crop
is at, say August 10, trying to
meet weather at September 1.
It is likely to fall short of Jack
Frost, is not rather behind time
for the season.
President Seymour is leaving
right away for Jackson, Miss.,
where he will, on Thursday, at¬
tend a meeting of the executive
committee of the Cotton Associa¬
tion. lie believes that
will be set a price of 15 cents for
cotton this vear. Alabama cor¬
respondents, as a rule, have said
that this should be the price.
This and other important mat¬
ters will be taken up for settle¬
ment at Jackson. Mr. Seymour
finds that, as a rule, the Ala¬
bama corn crop is fair and fine
in some sections. %
