sugar growing country, but only a SINAI
portion of the wheat region. II ais
reaches as far west IS San Antonio, tax
ing In Guadalupe, Cornal and San Anto
Mo valleys:
Cotton "A little less was planted thar
last year. The yield promises third t.
q half more. TIE prospect for maturing
il excellent, but not safe as yet from thl
worm, which has appeared in few 10
calities. The weather IL warmer thar
usual, with less rain sEd otherwise ia
vora6le. Half crop is considered al.
most certain In the most untoWRrd event
| Some localities report more rain, and
well grounded fears of the worm Others
that the prospect Is better than in five
years.
Corn-The same smouut was planted
as last year; 1t suffered from drought
early in the season, and the yield is per
| haps an eighth less and of good quality,

ises well from quarter to q third more

aud under cotton is but little over one 1
lalf, while the yield will be equal TO last
'esr; but under cern, sugar, rice and pO-
atoes, the quantity is double and the

eld for seed. The season for cotton has
'een unfsvorable, but for other articles
uspicious.

owing to excessive rains, and
not damaged the crop win equal last
