Now, I have never made a report to he Government ad to the condition ?f cotton or any other crop; I am not in employe of the Government, nor lave 1 ever been, in any capacity, at my time of my: life; I did not make my report to the Government as to he condition of the crop, July 25th., inr did I report the condition at 89 >ercent, to the Government, to any ndividual or firm. That is about as strong as I can nake my denial of a 1 the so called eliable information, furnished to the iforemeutioned Farmers Union and ythem,.published to your readers.
