Albany, Texas. Au*. 13.—(Special.) —
A good rain fell in some portions of
this county yesterday and the crops
where there has been plenty of rain are
doing fine. It has rained in spots
throughout this sectiqn of country
nearly every day during August, but
they have been very partial However,
much good has been done by them and
most parts of the country have had
rain since the first day of this month.
Some farmers report that they will
make from one-half to three-quarters
of a bale of Cotton per acre, and as
most of the eotton crop is late, if the
rains continue a- large yield of cotton
will be gathered in this county. No
pests of any kind have appeared so far
to interfere with it and none are' ex-
pected at this late date.
Grass is fin* all over the county and

—There is nothin* to Indicate that the
cotton crop conditions in the Red river
belt of North Texas and Indian Terri-
tory have been imrnired to a degree
that will prevent the largest cotton
I production in the history of the coun-
I The condition of the crop today is
far better than it has ever been at the
aarne period, in any year. Some dam-
age has been reported by boll worms.
, and some damage was reported from
shedding. In order to get at the true
conditions of the crop, and to the ex-
tent of the damage done. The Record
representative visited some of the
points in this section, from whence
damage reports came.
There has been some shedding, but
K is not due to any deterioration of
the plant, or to any weather condition.
The plants are simply overloaded with
cotton bolls and squares, and the shed-
ding has been more the result of over-
crowding than anything else. The
plant in the sections visited is shown
to be in an ideal concjzion, and the
fruit is all that could be desired.
Weather conditions have been as nearly
ideal as they could well be, and so
far as the damage by boil worms or
other pests are concerned, that has not
as yet amounted to anything. Boll
worms have done some damage in
spots about this section, but sine* the
hot. dry weather of the past few days
has prevailed, there has been a failing
off in boll worm operations and at
the present time they have practically
ceased to damage the bolls, and the
general impression prevails among old
cotton growers that they will not do
serious damage.
In some sections the farmers go so
far as to say that if the worms de-
stroy one-fourth of the bolls, they
will make the biggest crop they have
ever made. Others say that if one-
third of the bolls should be destroyed
by worms that then there will be a
bumper crop, and others say that the
worms could destroy half the bolls and
leave a crop above the average.
The fact that the worms have prac-
tically ceased work since the hot
weather has resumed sway, however,
would Indicate that the worm damage
is about over, and that little more in-
jury to cotton may be expected from
that source. There is nothing now to
threaten conditions which promise the
bfggest crop this sectton has ever pro-
duced.
The corn crop condition* are better
by twenty per cent than ever before.
Corn land that has usually averaged
about thirty bushels to the acre, is
now averaging about fifty bushels to
the acre.
The corn crop is being gathered, and
is heavier and better in every way than
in former years.

SECOND SESSION OF
THE STENOGRAPHERS
Sherman, Texas, ng. 13.—Recently
a report was sertolt from Van Alstyne
in this count, to the effect that boll
weevils were doing considerable dam-
age to cotton in that section. The re-
port created general comment and
much apprehension, not alone in the
community directly affected, but in this
and immediate counties as a whole.
Yesterday, Turner Leslie, the corre-
spondent at the ppint indicated, was in
finer man and made the statement that •
his report was an error, as he intended
to say thalt-boll worms and not boil
weevils were operating in the crops
So far as is known there has never
been a genuine weevil found in a Gray-
son county crop and since the report
here mentioned many very minute in-
vestigations have been made, without
discovery of insect.
