COTTON CONDITION POOREST IN TEARS I Department of Agriculture Places Fig-1 ures May 25 at 74.:}?Below That LeYel In South Carolina. Washington, June 1.?(The condition of the cotton crop of the country is the lowest since 1871 wiih exception cif 1903 and 1907, the depart ment of agriculture announced toda>y. I It issues statistics showing the condi- j lion on May 25 as 74.3 per cent, of a normal, or 7 per cent, below the tenyear average.' The low condition of the crop, is was said, was due largely to excessive rain and exceptionally cool nights in central and northern Texas, eastern and southern Oklahoma j and southwestern Arkansas, which | brough: the condition percentage in those States down to 65, 69 and 73, i rspectively. In Texas many farmers j were obliged to replant several times, j Va ar.f iw\nf a ai' a o aqro rr r\ r>lonf_ ' c^iJiiiaic vsl mc av/^i ^iauw_ , ed to cotion will me made by the de-; partment uniil July J. Unofficial es- i timates of the acerage 'have placd it from 3.5 per cent, decrease to 1 per | cent, increase. Review by States. In a de.ailed review of the con-; ditions in the> cotton States the department makes favorable report on the progress of the crop in the heavy producing sections of Mississippi and ' par s of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Geor-1 gia, Arkansai and Alabama. In Texas, says the statement, "cotton is making one of the poorest starts wit-1 nessed in many years." The Mississippi crop is probably ten ; or 12 days late and there is some j complaint of weevils, but "taking the i Sta e as a whole," the department i says, "conditions are excellent." In parts of Oklahoma, the depart- i nient iv.ys, the crop will av?ra?e ns i much us ih.ee weeks late, wu : t?. o ; .n ich ruin In low.-.- sections 1?as pre- I vented cultivation. In semi-arid re- i gions, however, the crop is declared ;o be in excellent condition. While the crop is declared to be ten days to two weeks late in Alabama, | general conditions of cultivation are j regarded as excellent. Cool weather I has retarded growth somewhat and weevils are resulting in -he soutni. i western portions or tue aiaie. Texas >ot Very Good. By far the most promising condi- i tions iO be found in Texas are in the ' northwest where "rains have given : the bes; asset of moisture in six or j eight years." In the greater part or' i the State, however, excessive rainl'all j has retarded plan:ing and cool weath- j pr has caused poor germination, i Much replanting has been necessary, j Rains have ceased in the other par:sj of the State and great activity is re- j ported. Sunshine for a week or ten j clays the crops can \)e well cleaned."' j Tiie early pianieu couuu m *jrcuigia, "consisting of probably SO per cen\ of the total acreage," is reported in good condition. small portion of the crop is not up and will not come up until it rains," adds the report. iThe Georgia crop is es:imated to be about a week late. In North Carolina the crop is about! two weeks late, due to dry, cool weather. The early planted cotton, however, is reported as in almost per- i feet condition."' Backward in This State. Dry weather is held responsible for i tire backwardness '?f the crop in | South Carolina, where "probably zu per cent." is reported as not up to a | stand. Dry winds have necessita:ed ! much replanting, and rain is needed to germinate the la:e planted seed. "The cotton standing is in almost perfect condition," says :he report. Louisiana conditions are aeciarea to "be "too wet or ioo dry, "but generally tfce crop is satisfactory." Some late planted seed is not up and the FOR STOMACH TROUBLE John W. Skillen of Sidney, Ohio, Has Found a Remedy. Experts declare that the reason Btomach disorders are so common in this country is due to hasty and careLess habits of eating, Stomach1 troubles and run-down conditions I usually go together. John. W. Skillen of Sidney, Ohio, Bays: "I bad a bad stomach trouble for years, and became so weak that [ could hardly walk or do any work, j 2*Iy appetite was poor, and it seemed impossible to get any relief. Since taking 'Vinol' I find a remarkable improvement in my health, my digestion j is much stronger, and I have gained in weight. I would not be without j Vinol." Vinol makes weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol j 1b easily assimilated by the weakest | Btomachs, ana is delicious to the taste, j Try a bottle of Vinol with the un- i derstanding that your money will be j returned if it does not help you. P# s.?stop scratching, our Saxo Salre stops itching. We guarantee it. GILDER & WEEKS, Druggists, ?Tvberry, S. C. crop averages two weeks late. "Southwestern Arkansas," says .the repor;, "has had entirely too much rsin Thp fiplrt.c; in thair section are i . ... - -- , foul wiili grass and weeds, and a por-1 tion of the crop still is unplanted. In the heavy producing sections oif the State conditions are favorable." In Tennessee only about threefourths of the crop is up, and ".he j plant is perhaps only half as large as it should be at this time. It lacks vigor, The color being ra.her poor." Some sections c<f Florida have suf fered poor stands on account of dry weather but plants are well cultivated. The Figures.
