Cotton condition and acreage reports from southern states
May 1 reports from Athens Railway and Electric Company correspondents show cotton condition at 83.1 percent of normal with 2.7 percent more acres than last year. Texas and Mississippi Valley states lead in both high condition and acreage gains, while Atlantic states lag. Georgia, the Carolinas, and parts of Alabama show slow emergence due to late planting and recent rains have begun to help.

Two miles from a neighbor, Eschnumkein Paul, a Calispel Indian, lives entirely alone in a cabin near the Pend Oreille river two miles from the nearest dwelling.
