The Crops IN EDaEErEhD. esteemed
correspondent sends us the following report of
the condition Of the crops in Edgefeld:
Crops backward. Corn, OF which there is
less planted than last year, looks we'll. Cotton
stand bad in gray lands from this latitude up;
fair in red lands, from this south; fair but
late. Some cotton is dying out yet. The back
ward spring and defective stands will shorten
the crop; but the heavy use OF fertilizers, with
fair seasons and late fall, will probably bring
the crop up to last year g..
With cotton at twenty cents you can never
convince planters within five miles Of rail-
road depot. that they can raise all the corn
they need cheaper than they can buy.
