COTTON CROP DETERIORATING.
Rains in Some Sections, Drouths in
Others Cut Crop Very Short.
The report of the National Gin-
ners Association on the cotton
crop, which was issued Monday,
is as follows:
“Reports from about half our
correspondents under average
date of July 16, indicate a con-
dition of 72 and under. This is
the lowest condition ever known
at this date. Some sections of
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas, show a slight im-
provement, but others show a de-
terioration. Texas shows de-
terioriation on account of severe
drouth and hot winds. Scattered
rains have fallen since the re-
ports show that cotton has stop-
ped growing in most sections and
is shedding forms and small bolls.
It is the consensus of opinion
that rains now will only make the
plant shed more rapidly and there
is very little chance to make a
crop from the new growth on ac-
count of the weevil. Heavy
rains in Georgia and the Caro-
linas have caused a small loss in
condition in that section. Okla-
homa shows considerable loss in
about half the state due to hot,
dry weather, the other half holds
its own.
A Tribute to Grass.
[The following prose poem was
written by Hon. John J. Ingalls,
now deceased: The Signal has
printed it before, but a gem of
ray so pure cannot be printed too
often:]
“Lying in the sunshine among
the dandelions and buttercups of
May, scarcely higher than the
minute tenants of that mimic
wilderness, our earliest recollec-
tions are of grass; and “when
the fitful fever is ended, and the
foolish wrangle of the market and
forum is closed,” grass heals
over the scar which our descent
into the bosom of the earth has
made, and the carpet of the in-
fant becomes the blanket of the
dead. Grass is the forgiveness
of nature—her constant benedic-
tion. Fields trampled with battle,
saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green
again with grass, and carnage is
forgotten. Streets abandoned by
traffic become grass-grown like
rural lanes and obliterated. For-
ests decay, harvests perish, but
grass is immortal. Beleagured
by the sullen hosts of winter, it
withdraws into the impregnable .
fortress of its subterranean vitali-
ty and emerges upon the first so-
licitation of spring. Sown by the
winds, the wandering birds,prop-
agated by the subtle horticulture
of the elements, which are its
ministers and servants, it softens
the rude outline of the world. Its
tenacious fibers hold the earth in
its place, and prevent its soluble
components from washing into
the wasting sea. It invades the
solitude of deserts, climbs the in-
accessible slopes and forbidding
pinnacles of mountains, modifies
climates and determines the his-
tory, character and destiny of
nations.”

Estate.
