We believe the result will approximate
to these figures, and will be confirmed
when the full returns of the National As
ISOLATION" shall have been received and
digested. Their estimate Of the quantity
consumed last year may have been, anc
probably was, too large, hence the appa-
rent reduction foreshadowed in the above
letter.
The Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser Of
September says: Since the late rains
the worms have appeared very generally
Much of the crop is SO far advanced that
the worm can hardly do more than prevent
the blooms and squares at the top of the
plant from forming bolls. There is, how.
ever, a large area Of cotton which is young
and is Just now growing finely. The worms
will cut off cotton Of this kind from half
to a third. There are various and contra
dictory theories about the worm. Some
planters contendiDg that worms travel
from row 10 row, others believe, and
we think it the correct theory
that the worm which eats the cotton, new
er goes more than yard or two from
the place where it was Matched When
his course is ran, the worm webs up
and turns out a butterfly and some con-
tend, a fly different from the butterfly,
but at all events these flies deposit eggs On
almost every stalk in a field, and the eggs
soon produce sWarms of small Worms.
These werms in turn web up and 80 on ad
infnitum until the crop is 'ginned OUT by
them, or until the weather puts a stop 10
their operations. Various and contradiC-
tory opinions are held, as to the effect of
the present cold weather. IL something
does not now stop the worm, all the top
crop of cotton will be destroytd-much Of
the young cotton damaged. The present
high price is stimulating planters and
every effort is being made to take advan-
tage of it. Most of the hands in parts of
the county have been engaged in working
the roadq, until Friday night and this
makes the receipts smaller than they
would otherwise be. A correspondent Of
the Evergreen Observer, from whose in
itials we recognize one of the most intelli-
gent citizens Of the State, predicts that in
less than six months cotton will sell at Al
cents per pound. That may be so, but our
earnest and solemn advice is that the
planter who refuses to sell cotton at pres
ent prices will do very foolish thing.

feature, while the gain in legal tenders ia

In making up the return for 1858, for
our report of June last, an allowance was
made for these cues in which the consum-
ing capacity had been reported instead of
the actual consumption, of 1893, 5l3
pounds, equal to 8 37.lO0 per cent. A
similar allowance has been made in the
above statement.
1t is believed that the ratio Of diminu.
ton of consumption thus obtained in the
comparison of the two years, will hold for
the whole cotton'spinning power of the
country.
If this ratio, above reported, shall be
continued throughout, the home consump-
ton, North and South, for the year ending
August 81, 1869, will be about All ,0OO, 900
pounds, against 450,000,O0O pounds the
previous year. But this is only a proba-
bility, TO be verified or corrected by the
actual returns.
Messrs. William P Wright & Co., of
New York, in their Cotton Circular dated
3lst ult., in referring to the above report of
Mr.. Bond, az printed above, says:
From the above it would appear the
estimated deficiency of the consumption Of
the United States, North and South,
amounts to 80 0O0, 600 pounds, which at 440

A letter writer having asserted that the
streets of San Francisco have for the
last ten years swarmed with as pretty a
set of fifteen year-old girls as can be
found anywhere, but that female beauty
fades in that city almost before the girls
become women, another correspondent
takes up in defense Of the California la
dies. He says: "Of the young ladies
who grace our promenade, a large pro
portion are either of Eastern or foreign
origin. They were not born here, but a
resideucy hereImproves their looks. The
California complexion is almost by
word. Even the mothers, arriving sallow
and lean, renew their youth, increase in
weight, and at the same time in health
and activity. The jaded bellies of older
and larger cities might do worse than
use California as gigantic watering
place, only taking care to avoid San
Francisco in the summer time and
when they come, they will certainly not
complain that our ladies do not exercise
sufficiently. In the country, and very
much in the cities also, riding and driv-
ing, picnics and summer festivals, balls
and parties, keep them pretty well em
ployed. while many ladies in our better
families do not disdsin to do far more in
household affairs than is usual. Indeed,
what with the difficulty Of obtaining
female servants, and the greater difficulty
Of keeping them when one has obtained
them, they very commonly have TO do

are barely done planting Where OK
traordinary efforts werc made by rlow
ING when the land was not III good
condition, and planting between rains,
the seed has rotted and rerlanting be-
comes necessity, and short crop at
best will be the result After every
rain we have cold, windy and exceed
inely unpleasant weather, 80 that
when started the young corn plants
make but a feeble growth. The
showers yesterday and the atmosphere
to-day remind one more of April
than Of mid-June weather. To the
North and Northwest of us, fir IN lat
est accounts the corn is more timely
and altogether in better condition than
in regions where we always look for a
corn crop if for nothing else. Iowa
for example has in many parts a fine
prospect In Illinois, on the con
trary, it will take almost a miracle to
bring out the usual average per acre
while in somecounties there will no,
be over two-thirds the average eN
pected month ago. An early frost
such as sometimes visits us, will make
the corn crop almost an entire failure
OF course we don't expect this sad
state of affairs. but it is what may be-
fail us.-[ Prairie FARMER, June 10, 1860.
