The Memnhis Coiitiiiereial-Ap peal, an authority on the cotton crop, said yesterday: An imnrovment in the cotton crop condition during the past uvpI: is ffeiierallv reported. In Central mid Kastern States the i.iit) iiiu M bnrdlv be iumrovei upon. With average favorable weather during the remainder of the season, a i ord crop will be made over the large area. Boll weevils are more numer ous in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas but the damage so far is noticeably small. The carli'ness of the crop is a notable condition in the Kastern im.l Cent r;d States and grown to 1,.lt"..ri.,iun bulls lire reported! in the most northern districts. In Texas and Oklahoma mod erate showers lo heavy rains widely distributed, served to ra rest the deterioration that had Ml ;i over wide anas mid the outlook is therefore improved. The plant in many places is small, however, and more rain is needed to put it in good condi tion. Kastern and central T x as eo-inties are an exception to t his statement for the crop there is good. Save ill Texas and Oklahoma the b-st interest of the crop will be promoted by dry, weather for u while. hi III I I fBfe ) : frf I,, .iiii.ii. Mr. 'arrier on 7.. A. IVssley. Indian Trail Route 1.
