La(<range, (la., September 8. Hon. Leo. W. Truitt, Troup county’s largest faring, who is known t lirougli out the south as an authority on mat ters agricultural.!, est imates that the severe drought throughout the cotton belt for the past, ten days has cut a million hales from t lie south’s cotton crop. According to Mr Truitt’s estimate the ten days of dry weather have cost the farmers of the south $50,000,000, calculating that the staple will bring *SO per hale during (lie entire season" which is quite a conservative figure at tlie pr s lit prices.

The commissioner has returned to this city after a trip through the en tire state. Mr. Poole stated that the hot weather and the ball and army worm lias terribly injured the cran and will cut it short. Unless there is an organized effort on the part of press correspond ants in all parts of the state of Texas to falisfy concern!]' j present conditions in th,eir different localities, the rav ages of the boll weevil in this stale have been underestimated. It is evident from the tones of the telegrams from Texas and the crop information published in the newspapers of the stale that the Tex as idea of wliui this years crop wo he diffenernt from the idea of the northern cotton men Jn New York there is plenty of talk about a crop of 4,000,000 and the figure is seldom placed below 3,500,000 bales while in Texas, where it is fair to pro.mine that tlie situation is better understood than in New York, a man receives newspaper notoriety as an optimist ol the most pronounced type if he says the crop will be 3,000,000ba105. Allowing the fai t some reports are little exaggerated, the reports from ail over the state show ilmt lhe sit uation is worse than il was at first represented and is certainly not a favorable one.
