THE GEORGTA COTTON CROP,

The weather still continues unsettled
and more or less rainy. In Macon we
have had one bright and rainless day
during the past week, but clouds have
obscured the horizon during the greater
part of the other days, and some heavy
showers have fallen. Yesterday we had
leaden sky and cold wind from the
northwest, with fine misty rain for a
short time. The mercury in the morn
ing, was little below seventy, and rose
but slightly during the day. Such
weather is highly unfavorable to the
cotton crop, as well as embarrassing to
the farmers who are now pulling and at
tempting to cure their fodder.
Reports of caterpillar are very general
from Western and Southwestern and
Southern Georgia and Florida, and
samples Of genuine insect have been
forwarded to US. The appreAensiOns Of
the planters of the caterpillar would,
however, be much mitigated if we could
have clear, bright settled weather. - -
Quite as potent an enemy, in this im>
mediate region, is the rust, which, from
the same causes,l is spreading fast, and
threatening much injury to the crop.
Between the operations Of these two
foes, the probabilities of full crop are
much diminished, and planters begin to
knock down anticipations about third.
The result, however, is yet uncertain.
Give us hot and dry weather, and hope
will revive with the sun.-WGcOR TEL
egraph, Aug. s.
We continue to receive the most dis
| couraging accounts of the cotton crop from
| all sections of the State.
The spring was very cold and back ward
| one, and hence the crop started full three
weeks after the usual time. By the free
application of stimulating fertilizers, this
drawback was being very rapidly over
come when the July drought fet in, which
greatly retarded the growth Of the plant
and in most sections caused A pretty free
shedding of the fruit.
The rains began TO fall pretty freely the
latter part of July, and have continued
now for about twenty days. The effect of
the rains has been to produce that most
inveteraie and deadly enemy of this very
sensitive plant-rust-and now we hear
that almost every field in southwestern
Georgia, and even in the billy lands o.
Middle Georgia has suffered more or less
Some planters attribute the wide spread
prevalence of rust TO the use of commercial
fertilizers, and much interest is now being
taken in Investigations looking to the dis
covery of such fact if it really exists. Very
intelligent planters attribute the rust, al
We think, to the proper cause, the sudden
and extreme change of seasons.
Whatever may have been the immediate
or remote cause, there can be no doubt bu
that the crop has been seriously injured
To what extent, it is yet too early 10 So.
