But the baby is get ting out of its swaddling clothes as instance the new ground and several new buildings. Part of the stock had been taken away before the writer’s visit, so it was not feasible for him to pass judg ment upon that exhibit. The hogs were fine, especially the Duroc-Jerseys of Mr. R. M. Gorrell, of Ore Hill. The fruit exhibits were a credit to the county. There were several lots of as fine apples as one could desire to see. Among the leading exhibitors were Mr. Rufus Brewer, Siler City, ; Chatham County Nursery, E. M. iLindley owner, Siler City, Rt 4, and Mr. J. W. Perry, aged 92, who has been an exhibitor of fruit at the State Fair for fifty years. Mr. S. D. Brewer and son won first prize for farm display. The second dis play was won by Mr. Jake Johnson, Siler City, Rt. 4. Especially wothy of praise were the canned fruits and preserves and the many beautiful samples of the handiwork of Chatham ladies. Much hard work was necessary by the officials to get the fair afoot in its new quarters, and to the lot of Mrs. P. H. Elikins, the energetic sec retary, is much of the credit due. Fair Officials.

Frank Parker, Agricultural Statis tician, Raleigh, says: | With a condition of 47 per cent of a full crop prospect and a product of 723,000 bales outlook, based on re cent conditions, the North Carolina cotton crop has only 70 pea* cent of last year’s production in spite of the large increase in acreage. The Unit ed States average 52.5 percent con dition, indicating 12,499,000 bales. This ;is about 1 percent less than was fndi ! cated the middle of September and ! almost 3 percent less than was indi cated Septemeber 1. With 4,525,520 bales ginned to October Ist, there i.< about 65 percent of the crop yet to be ginned. Only about 5 percent of the I North Carolina crop was ginned to the first of the month. On June 25th die prospects of the crops were good in spite of the bad weather conditions experienced as if it were running. The seed were through a wet, late spring. On July 116th the condition fell 21 percent. Dur ing the next month it rose 3 per jeent, the condition now standing at :47 percent of a normal or full crop prospect. According to the numerous comments received from reporters from all parts of North Carolina, the crop had a distressingly poor prospect. It should be known, however, that the last report was made by re porters just at the close of a 17 to 20 rainy period, when everything looked sometimes sprouting in the hanging opened bolls. Unopened bolls were be ginning to rot. Even the stems so soft that the boll easily pulled off. Discoloration of lint was taking place. Even with the sunshine which has so favorably come out since October 1 there is much complaint of the diffi culty of picking the lint. As one coun ty agent said, “It is necessary to use tweezers to pull the lint out the bolls In spite of all of the critcisms made of the government estimates, it is a fact that every year for the last ten years the estimates for North Caro lina have been too low at this time of the year. In other words, pects for October Ist have consistently been poorer than the final results of the crop idicated. The condition in this state declined 5 percent during the latter half of September^ The outstanding comments were “Continued rains very damaging; weevils and wet weather are causing 'heavy rot. spouting in bolls; none picked for two weeks prospects for poor quality.” — • Meeting of Woman’s Auxilliary.
