Brown, is quoted as follows : "I think the present crop is about 12 per cent bettor than last year, that we will make the maximum crop of 11, 250,000 bales. In this State and Geor gia, where 1 have given the crop some personal investigation, I find that where farms have been thoroughly cultivated and highly * fertilized the crop will bo very much better than we have bad for many years; in many in stances making from one to two bales to the acre. On the other hand there are large areas of ordinary land that have been poorly fertilized and tilled, which will show results no better than last year, and in many cases inferior crops will be the result. I think the ?ame rule will apply throughout the cotton belt and am thoroughly con vinced that 11,250,000 balea is a maxi mum figure."_ I was .filleted with catarrh of the head for 15 yearn.
