j. j. WLLAMs:-My Dear Sir:-Since
my last report, l have made an excursion
| through the counties of Leake, Attala, and
Holmes as far as the Castilian Springs, near
Durant
In Leake, the drought has been unusually
severe, cutting off the forward c6rn very
short-the late bottom lands with rain, will
yet make corn. The lice in connection with
the drought, have also greatly retarded the
growth Of cotton. Our prospects at this pc.
Rod were never so gloomy, and up to this
time no rain.
In Attala, the prospects are much better
for both corn and cotton, the crops looking
well and growing.
In Holmes, the prospects are still better,
promising an abundant crop. In Yazoo, /
learn the crops are unusually good, perhaps
never better, promising an abundant crop
In the Northern part Of Leake county there
is decided improvement in the looks of the
crops. Our friend, COL j. T. Donald has a
splendid crop Of corn, and has expended a
large amount of labor in ditching and reclaim
ing his bottom lands and will when be fully
carries out his plans, have the most valuable
plantation in Leake county. The Colonel is
what may be justly styled progressive plan
ter, and doubtless will realize his most san
guine expectations. You shall hear from me
again.

Very respectfully.

ANTE Co., MISS, July I'd, 1860.
j. j. WILLIAMS II send you herewith
my 9th semi monthly report of the present
condition and future prospects of the crops of
this county. In the Eastern half of the coun-
ty there has been little or no rain since nv
last report. Corn crops are ruined. The
season is past and no quantity of rain could
avail anything for relief In the Northern
part of the county the dry weather has proved
equally fatal. No rain except few showers
since February. Many who reside in this
unfavored region will not make corn enough
to do them until the first of January, none
will make half crop. The cotton plant in
those districts is small and that planted early
blooming near the top. In the remaining
portions OF the county, which have been visi-
ted with seasonabIe quantities of rain. the
crops of both corn and cotton, never at this
period of the year, presented more promis-
ing appearance. j. R. GALTNEY.
The weekly Mississippian. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1859-1864, 1860-08-01
Agricultural Reports.

We present some half dozen letters to-day
from our limited number of correspondents
running from the I'd to the 18th of July. II
has been our wish to arrange this matter; SO
that at the first and middle of each month
we could publish the letters, but we have
found 1t impossible to do so. Sometimes the
correspondence was delayed on the post route,
and at others, we could not get it published
owing TO press Of matter upon the columns
the paper. So between these two causes and
some others perhaps, there has been no regu-
larity or method in getting these letters be-
fore the public. Again we have been disap-
pointed in not having more writers, for it
seemed to us so small favor on the part of
any who would assume the task, that we felt
assured some one would respond to our call
from every county or at least from the greater
part of them. We have, however, done our
duty and the failure to make this design Of
the Bureau useful and interesting does not
rest with us, nor the few friends who have
aided us with their letters, and to whom we
now return our sincere thanks.
Although the fate of the corn crop is decis
ded, it will be some weeks yet before the re-
suits of the cotton crop will be decided, and
if the few who have written for us, will con-
tinue their favors, we will continue to publish
them, and in the mean time should any 9TH
ers feel inclined to lend helping hand, we
will cheerfully add their favors to the list al
ready published.
1t will be seen that the dry weather has
rendered hopeless the prospect of full corn
crop. In few favored section of the State,
corn enough and to spare, will be made, but
in the main the crop is an entire failure We
have heard of some neighborhoods, where
they have not had a heavy rain since the
month of February, and not even light
shower for nine or ten weeks. The cotton
crop generally looks well, and it may be that
we will yet make more than an average sup
ply.
In view of the failure of the corn crop, our
farmers should turn their attention to turnips
and wheat. A large turnip patch will do much
to remedy the loss of corn as feed for stock
during the fall and winter, while the wheat
which ripens early would tighten the expense
of buying corn the coming year. They will
have the time and the land this fall for put
ting in wheat crop, and if the ground is
properly prepared, and the wheat sowed early
we may reasonably calculate upon fair yield
But these are suggestions which we throw
out for the reflection Of the planters
