The Baton Rouge Advocate
Of the 18th says:
We are informed that the rust
has made its appearance in almost
Affection plantations on the Man.

what extent it will affect the crop
on these roads we are not inform.

should they now make their ap.
pearance, to injure the crop Sc
rlously, but the rust is always
master of the situation. 49,
The Bayou Sara Ledger of the
Goth says:
9. Cotton picking has commenced
In earnest, and the f1eecy staple
will soon be pouring into market.
lt cannot come too soon, for mon.
ey is growing exceedingly scarce.
The Madison Journal of the
10th says:
For the last three or four weeks
we have had rather more rain
than the crops required-in fact
II has rained nearly every day
Consequently the cotton has not
opened, and is shedding q good
deal. 49,
The Iberville South of the Goth
says:
The temperature has been un
comfortably high during every
day OF the week-a portion of the
nights cool. Rain showers daily
These showers are not needed by
the planters. We hear that they
are damaging the cotton to some
extent. The lower bolls show
rotting, and the young forms arc
stunning" The planters-llc
where that we hear OF, ask for more
rain, None of their present la
0orS are benefited by rains. We
have not heard a word said about
caterpillars or any other worms
during the week. hs
The Monroe Intelligencer saws
The corn and cotton crops on the
line of the New Orleans and Jack.
son railroad, look very poor and
unpromising. The fruit and grape
crops are excellent. Several fac.
tories have been and are being
erected at various small villages
on the line of this railroad. We
noticed a cotton factory, shoe
factory, and factory for the con.
struction of cotton gins. Immi.
grafton is increasing there, while
we have little or none; which we
attribute to the fact that the rail.
road facilities are greater there
than here, and there is more en-
c0uragement given TO the new
settler by the readiness of land
owners to sell portions of their
large estates. a.,
