Prospects Better Than Last Year
Though Early Promise Will Not
Be Fulfilled
Oalvcston Texas Sept S What is
the condition ot the Texasvcotton crop
at tho present time and what prom
isesto be tho yield us compared wjth
that of last season Thesequestions
so often asked by peoplo interested in
the staple both In Europe and Amer-
ica the News pf this city has endeav-
ored to arfiwer by publication of re-
ports from 441 correspondents regard-
ing the crop conditions In their vicin-
ity These reports cover 149 cotton
growing counties lh Texas Naturally
many conflicting reports were receiv-
ed one correspondent reporting con-
ditions that Indicate an Increased
yield ot 50 per cent and his neighbor
correspondent reporting a decrease of
tho same percentage or more Such
reports lndleato varying conditions
and spotted crops oven In the same
locality tho Improved crop possibly
being due to a better cultivation and
an earnest fight against pests
A few weeks appear to have made
a wonderful change lncrop conditions
and crop prospects Three weeks
ago correspondents reported that con-
ditions warranted the belief that
Texas would havo a record crop of
cotton an Increaso in somecases of
100 to 200 per cent over the yield ot
last year However times have
changed Boll weevils boll worms
sharpshooters and other Insects havo
been busily at work and tho farmer
who onco looked over his field and
calculated his largo profits is now fig-
uring on picking one bale to every
flvo or eight aqres and praying for
prices to stay up until he gets that to
market
Not all sections of the sjato have
had like experiences and eyon In sec-
tions wbcrq weevils a nd worms have

These localities scattered through
East and Contrl Texas together
with the promising prospects In
North Texas If conditions become no
worse will give the state a larger
yield ot the staple than Fhat of last
season
Of the five cotton districts Into
which Texas Is divided the cbaftt dls
trlct raises tho smallest amount of
cotton and Southwest Texas raises
next to the smallest anount Central
Texas raises tho largest amount and
North Texas raises next to the larg-
est amount This condition dfjifralrs
must be taken into consideration by
thoso who may try to figure more
In detail on the 190304 crop
Southwest Texas is infested with
weevils and boll worms Central Tex-
as with the samo pests while East
Texas and many parts of North Texas
I have had their greatest difficulty
with the boll worms One encourag-
ing feature reportedfromEast and
North Toxas ts he fact that tho boll-
worm Is becoming less numerous and
is doing less damage Another feat-
ure ot the reports that Reems to stand
out prominent Is the fact that the ear-
ly planted cotton Is giving to the farm-
er the largest part of his crop while
that which was planted lae though
rich In stalk has fruited poorly and
baB become the tqod for boll weevils
and boll worms
Texas Using a largo state the fact
that some correspondents < reported
too much rain during the summer
months while others reported their
fields to ho suffering from drouth la
not Inconsistent yet such reports are
of record from tho same county
All cotton is fro m two to three
weeks late In every section of the
8tate duo to the samo cause too
much rain In tho early spring For
this reason some apprehension Is felt
regarding the possibility of early
frosts
