SHORT COTTON CROP St. Matthews, Aug. 31.?What promised a few weeks ago to be something of a bumper cotton crop now promises to be a short crop with an early harvest. The recent) burning sun has practically cut off J the blooms and growing forms, while the bolls, many of them imperfectly! formed, are popping open at an in- j ? v credible rate. It hardly seems pos-! sible that rains will in any way affect the crop except perhaps to help the) fruit now on the stalk. The fields j are as white in many places as isj often the case in early October, andj in some places where the land is i light it is said that the greater part ! of the cotton is open. Farmers are; attributing the shortage partly to thej dry weather and partly to the ab-| sence of potash in fertilizers. A few who succeeded in getting potash are said to have benefited by it to a marked degree. jV'/ ?r. . VVVVVVV>^VVV v V LONG CANE V Pl^vvvvvvvvvvvvvv^ Long Cane. Sept. 3.?Dr. J.
