MYATT OX COTTON CROP.

Columbia, Sept. 12.-Mr. F. H.

j Mr. Hyatt stated that he left Co

lina, Tennessee. Alabama and Arkan?
sas and took a special \rain over to
Texarkana an! from there to Mar?

part of the State, making a close in?
spection of the conditions of the cot?
ton crop. Along the lied river and a
part of the plaina of Arkansas, where '
is said to be of the finest cotton belts I
there are, he found the cotton weed i
to be unusually large, but for the last |
12 or 15 days the deterioration lias ;
been great. He also found in Te-xas i
that' the boll weevil had spread over
a territory of at least 500 miles in

bale per acre at this time. It appears
that the boll weevil is taking- bolls Gi
larger size than heretofore.
"We selected a stalk at random
that had 42 bolls on it and after cut?
ting and examining the bolls we
found only three good ones in the en?
tire stalk. In another instance there
were 33 bolls, which were practically
grown, and after examining them we
found only three good ones on tke en--:
boll in the lot. We went into a field
of young cotton and stepped 30 steps
before we found a single square or
boll. I talked with a leading farmer
who lives 18 miles from Marshall,
Texas, and he said that he and his
friends would have to move from the
neighborhood, as his cotton was a
complete failure.
*T am reliably informed that the
cotton crop in the delta is good in
some sections, but spotted,
"After going through the cotton1
belt for several days, I then- went di?
rect to Hot Springs, Ark., where I
found-the executive committee of the
s* ??thern Catien Assen art rn in ses*
sion, whe>e their repon s from every
section of the cotton belt was- found,
without a single exception, that the
cotton crop had deteriorated at least
20 per cent within the last 10 or 15
days. *
"The convention was well attend
ded by representative men,, who could
be relied upon, and they all stated
that up to tvs ree weeks ago they had
a most flattering prospect for a cot?
ton crop in every section, but the boll
weevil and boll worm and the shed?
ding caused by continued rains had
wrought havoc upon the cotton crop.
"It is stated by some bears that
the Southern Cotton Association did
not make an estimate upon the pres?
ent cotton crop because the outlook
was so flattering. I beg to contradict
that statement. The Southern Cotton
Association did not make an estimate
upon the present crop for the simple
fact that the deterioration for the
last two weeks had been so great
that they were at a loss to do so. In
asmuch as the government missed
their guess 2,000,000 bales a year or
two ago, as well as the association
last year, they considered it nothing
but guess work. But from ali the
information that I could gather I am
satisfied that if we get 11.500.000
bales of cotton it will exceed the ex

"I would beg the* farmers to go j
slow' In marketing tKeir cotton and
Investigate the conditio? of their cot- !
ton crop more closely, ftfr I believe
better prices are ?in waiting for them.
"I have no doubt their experience
will be what mine was on yesterday
as I went over a field of 50 afc*es on
Broad river, which produced a bale
to the acre last year. In many JB
stances I found only two bolls to the
stalk. I have no idea that I will get
one-third of a bale this year where I
got one bale last year. There is no?
top crop, and as far as I can see I am?
satisfied we will not get more than a
crop of 11,500,000 bales.
"Inasmuch as it is conceded that
it will require 12,500,000 bales to sup?
ply the world's demand, I see no
reason why we should not get 12 1-2
cents for this crop.
"I am glad to say that inasmuch as
the association has had some hard
licks-, as all new organizations have
to- have before they can become
thoroughly established, I found the
officers- o? the association in high
spirits- and more determined than
ever to- control the price of the cotton
and push this fight in behalf of the
Southern people.
Let the farmers of the South stand
by the Southern Cotton Association
and they will reap a rich reward."

Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous cures and is today rec?
ognized by leading members of the
medical profession as the only ad?
vertised remedy for this disease that
can be relied upon to do just what it
claims.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure ca?
tarrh weald be t have a chaage of
climate, fcut now with Hyomei you
can carry a health-giving climate in
your vest packe* and by breathing it
a few times- a day, cure yourself.
The Hoymei tfreatment is simple and
easy to use. It destroys all catarrh
germs iff the air passages and en?
riches and' purifies the blood with
ozone.- When using Hyomei the air
you breathe? will seem like that on
the mo an tain s-, high above the sea
level.
A complete' Hyomei outfit costs but

not give you-' satisfaction, J. F. W.
