Atlanta, August 1, 1893.
COTTON, ITS GENERAL CONDITION.
The preseut, crop year has, so far been
full of disappointment and hope de
ferred. The cotton, over a very large
territory, embracing I may say fully
two-thirds of tlio cotton belt, has had
to contend against almost overwhelm
ing disadvantages. First, the cold
spring retarded the planting and when
that was at laBt accomplished, heavy
rains set in, which bo packed the lands
that the seed germinated but imper
fectly. In consequences the "stand”
was generally defective and was farther
injured by the very high winds and
cool nights. which followed each rain.
Then „— to put the final instructive
touch to the already suffering plants,
lice, which always nourish during a
cool spring, have done their utmost,
Such however, is the recuperative
power the of the cotton growing plant, weather that of as Juno soon
as warm,
set iu, the crop bounded forward. But
we are now in .the latter part of July
confronted of by the anomalous condition
too much rain in the southern and
southwestern portions of the state, ntnl
a stubborn drouth iu the higher lati
tudes. The general crop has been so

that its condition is most un
satisfactorg. localities, In exceptionally favored
where the seasons have been
propitious the crop is most promising,
but in other sections its condition is
InosT unpromising, and my deliberate
opinion, after personal observation in
different sections, and a careful com
parison of the reports of correspondents,
is that the yield will be greatly re
duced, unless we have unpreccptly fa
vorable seasouarfrom this time forth.
