We hear; says the Banner, no complaints Of The
cotton worm, ard it is now the ed Of July at the
tinie Of our writing The cotton crop looks more
promising than might be expected under the cir
culnstances. Still, we do not believe that more
than half of good yield per acre will be haF-
vested, even If the eoitrn worm does not make its
appearance at all There was much bad seed in
the country in the spring. Many had to replaut
several times, and got late or bad stand
Many crops become grassy on account OF nnfayor-
able weather, and finally the dashing showers and
hot suns succeeding, have caused the cotton plant
to shed its forms 10 an extent which will do some
considerable harm on most plantations. Even a
medium yield Of cotton under the circumstances,
has NOW become an impossibility,
