"g QBE COTTON CROP REPORT Government Report Says August Was Unfavorable Crop Short Washington Dispatch, Au. 31. In a statement summarizing cotton rop conditions the Department of Agriculture today said: "August was unfavorable for cot ton in almost all sections of the cot ton belt. In the Western section, the crop deteriorated severely in Okla homa and Texas because of extreme drought over large areas, which caused the plant to stop fruiting and shed. Weevils damaged the crop con siderably in Eastern and Southern Texas, Southern Arkansas, Western Florida and Southwestern Georgia and disastrously in Mississippi, Ala bama and portions of Louisiana. "Much of the crop in Southern Mississippi and Alabama, because of rain and weevil damage will require from 10 to 20 acres of land to pro duce a bale of cotton. In the Car olinas and Georgia hot sunshine fol lowing the July rain on the sappy plan caused much shedding. "Lack of fertilizer which was leached from the soil by the July rain or withdraw by grass and weeds, is shown bv the appearance of the plant which seems to have reached maturity with a small stalk and lack of fruit. There are many grassy fields in the Eastern States. Cater pillars are reported in Texas, Louis iana, Florida and Georgia, but have done no material damage as yet. "Picking is general over the Souths era half of the belt and even in Ok lahoma where there is much prema ture opening. Virginia, Tennessee, Northwest Mississippi,rasternj-Arkansas and Missouri have good to splendid crops of cotton." Dr. Goldberger, a Federal health officer, claims that pellagra is caus ed by a -one-sided diet too much Byrup, corn bread and fat meat and not enough milk, eggs, lean meat, beans and peas. - w HOWELLS VILLI!
