DALLAS, June *0 —The News’
crop report from ”50 correspondents
iu Texas and Oklahoma was Issued
-this morning and shows the Texas
cotton acreage to be 108.8 per cent
of last year's and the condition 109,2
The North Tex’s acreage is 107.1
and the condition 103.2, both slightly
under the state averages, which are
greatly Increased by the large in-
creases in the Texas Panhandle,
where the acreage last year was very
small. All the ieports were made
on June 13 a week agq, an-5 there
has been considerable change since
then, some deterioration and some
improvement w here rains have fallen.
Almost all the correspondents re-
port a serious drouth and corn seems
almost a failure except in a few sec-
tions, and the crop as a rule has
either already sustained irreparable
injury or is on the point of,receiving
it. The wheat and oat crops were
generally short throughout the sec-
tions covered in the report, in Cen-
tral Texas, however,
.•oihpafativeiy good, but short of the
ryerage yields there.
The cotton crop is generally
