Sept. 14.?Contin- ] ' ued deterioration of the belt was | j noted by the weather bureau's f weekly weather report today, the I effect being traced largely to un- f favorable weather conditr-ons. i "Generous rains occured in Ok- f lahoma," the reports said, "but the I crop still made unsatisfactory pro- 1 gress, while the rainfall in Texas \ came too late to be of much help. | Premature opening continued in | Texas and there was very little top I crop, with the general condition f moi/tly poor. In Louisiana the con- | dition was generally fair but its un- | satifactory development was report- | ed from Mississippi." j 1 = "Bolls opened rapidly in Alabama ? many prematurely, because of high11 temperature and dry weather, andj| fnvfhor Hpfprinration was renorted 11 ' x = from Tennesse. It was hot and dry | in Georgia until the close of .the ? week when general rains were re- 1 a ceived. further deterioration in cot- ? ton reported from that state andij there was no top crop. "There were further complaints j of shedding in South Carolina onjg account of drought and weevil act-|| ivity, with premature opening andj| a steady decline ie in the general j| condition of the crop; weevil con- | tinued to do great damage to top | crop and were (taking large bolls of | the intermediate growth. Rain was | needed in North Carolina where the | change from the earlier rainy to the | recent dry weather was very un- | favororable in many localities and | many of the late bolls were smal'l. | "Picking and grinning made satis- | factory progress in nearly all sec- | tions."

Mr. Graham has just ^ firrshed picking over six acres of icotton one time and he ginned one ^ bale. He thinks he will get four . more bales from the same tract. ? X" V The weevil infestation in that section was bad but Mr. Graham began ^ | early and fought late with molasses ^ and calcium arsenate. The weevils ? C4 got the top crop, he says, but the first fruit was not seriously damag- t ed.
