Columbia, July 22.?The cotton belt is in good condition, but the out come of the season depends on the weather. With good weather the South's crop will be large. These are conclusions expressed by Joseph Walker, of Columbia, manager of the American Product Export & Import Corporation, on his return to *his of fice today after a trip through the cotton belt. Mr. Walker is optimistic over the situation throughout the South, as he found it. Mr. Walker left Columbia several weeks ago, and' went to Memphis, then into Oklahoma and parts of Texas, and then back by way of New Orleans, stopping at points in ilaKama and (rP>orepia.! lTxiaoiaoilAiuwMiMv* M..v. 0 He got a good view of the entire cot ton belt, and received expert reports from many sections. Mr. Walker found the boll weevil doing some damage in many sections In Texas he found a spotted condi tion with regard to the crop. In Western Texas the crop is reported as excellent. In parts of Oklahoma the weevil is at work. In the central South, Mississippi and Alabama, the crop outlook is fine, with prospects for a large production, if the weath er is good for the rest of the Sum mer. The cotton crop is late all over the belt. Mr. Walker found this true TT i.U? 4. wherever ne weni. xie says mat n. cleaT weather is enjoyed for the rest of the summer, the weevil will do lit. tie damage and the production will be excellent. If bad weather prevails, with too much rain, the weevil will "be encouraged, and the outcome^ then will be a matter of conjecture. Mr. Walker found a tone of epti mism wherever he went.
