About 50 pt r cent of the crop was planted at about the normal date; Cu per cent dining May ard the remainder alter the rains eejsed. The early planted cotton has stood the two months drought re markably well. However, most of it had reached the limit of endurance without deterioration by the 25th in stant. The late planted cotton, in order to survive, spent Its energies during the month iu root trowing in an ettort to reach moisture at the ex pense of stalk. Stands are so bad that it will undoubtedly show up in jUie final yield per acre. The month has been extremely dry and hot. "Arkansas The cotton crop Is ab normally spotted in Arkansas. In the river bottoms there is the best prospect for years. Many portions of the State are extremely dry. These dry sections have a small cotton plant but it is generally well fruited. The crop in some sections turned yellow and is shedding Its fruit. sons of a stalwart old country preach er. While the three brothers which Union county has given to the Baptist ministry. Messrs. James, Edward and Sam Long, sons of Esq. W. O. Long, will perhaps never be as famous as the IMxon brothers, they will be as useful in their respective places. Iiev. Edward Long, now pastor at North YVilkesuore. preached In the Monroe church Sunday. His brothers had previously filled the same pulpit this summer, and there is considerable speculation anions members of the congregation as to which is the best preacher. All are graduates of Wake , Forest College and all have taken 'seminary courses. Rev. James Long, the eldest, is pastor at Dunn, lie has rerved important pastorates in Vir ginia and South Carolina before re turning to his native State, llev. Sam Long, the youngest, is yet in the .seminary, but is spending the summer i with his parents and keeping in touch j with the soil by fighting grass for a time.

And, come to think about it. there is another trio the Snlders. Rev.

The latter have it on the this year, "3.6 per cent on July 25 'others a little in that they are sons last year. 76.5 per cent in 1912 and of a preacher and grandsons of a SO.O per cent, the average condition on July 25 for the past 10 years. The area planted in cotton and un der cultivation on June 25 this year, as previously reported, was 36,960. 000 acres, a decrease of 498,000 acres, or 1-3 per cent from that under cultivation on June 25 last year. A condition of 100 per cent of a normal on July 25 would be equivalent to a yield of 234.1 pounds of cotton to the acre, the beureau of crop estimates has announced. Weather conditions generally have been favorable to the crop through out the north except in the western part of the belt where lack of rain and high temperatures caused late cotton to suffer severely. During the early part of the month ocal showers over large areas to the eastward of the Mississippi greatly improved the outlook, and the early planted crop was nearly everywhere reported as In good condition.

"Tc'iaessee Portions of Tennessee h.iu- 'u no rains of consequence since early In May. Dry sections gen erally have a small weed but it is well fruited. "Deterioration, however, during the month has been marked. The crop is very rpntted. Even in the dry sec tion there are some splendid crops and whore rain has fallen there Is a prospect for a good yield. SHEDDING IN' GEORGIA. " "(itorgia Taking the State as a whole the cotton crop looks very fa vorable. While rains have fallen pretty generally there are some sec tions which me still dry. Over the dry area normal growth has not been made during the month. There are some complaints of shedding and of cotton dying but geuerally the pros pert is for a fine crop. "Florida There Is considerable variation in this crop, the lowest counties are In the western portion of the State where the boll weevil is taking the top crop and the extreme dry weather of the Spring makes the crop late. 'Alabama A large area of Ala bama has had no rains since in early May, and in such districts shedding, wilt, etc., are noticeable. Taking the State as a whole, the rop has lost several points during July but Is still above the average. "Mississippi Much of the State has suffered from extremely dry, hot weather during the month. This in the boll weevil section has had a ten dency to check the ravages of this pest and farmers are very hopeful of making a fair crop. Cotton is gener- crowth in Texiis as well as in most portions of Oklahoma, Ai Kansas and Loui.-iaiiH. Boll weevil were report- increasing in several sections. -"" RAIN IX EAST. Toward the middle of the month generous showers over the Eastern States greatly favored growth and the plun'ed was generally reported as being in rood condition. In the cen tral portions of the belt local rains greatly benefitted the crop in Arkan sas and Louisiana and in parts of Mississippi, but rain was badly need ed in Mississippi as well as in Ten nessee. In Texas and Oklahoma but little rain fell and the soil then was becoming very dry; the early planted cotton was reported as doing well, however, but the late planted was much In need of rain. During the latter part of the month widely distributed showers with moderate temperatures and the usual amount of sunshine, greatly improv ed conditions of cotton over all east ern and most central districts and the prospects continued good. In the western part of the belt practically no rain fell in Texas and only small smounts in Oklahoma and Arkansas. High temperatures prevailed during much of the time and late planted cotton was suffering severely, the early planted was standing the dry weather fairly well, but rain was bad ly needed In most of the district.
