Reports from the cotton fields in
the southern belt are favorable,
though rains have been more plenti
ful than needed for the crop to be
pitched in ideal shape. Such com
pla'ints, however, have uot been ser
ious enough to cause any concern,
and the prospect may b said to be
excellent so far.
It is probable there will be some
acreage increase in Memphis district,
although many of the best posted
peoile bay not, because of the in n-ns-ed
aTeap;e devoted to grains and (idl
er crops. The continued hich price
of prahi will do more to spread di-
Terslfled farming than anything els i
that h;i$ b"n devised, and it looks
lifee the present year will se much
advanre in that particular.
