tn the weather too has been mild and pleasant
The crops, though somewhat behindhand
now, under the influence of GOOD weather,
are doing well. The cotton crop, Of ali
others, has suffered most from, the GOODNESS
OF the season; that which was earliest
planted, particularly in old lands has been
much injured by the cotton louise, but with
proper culture and favorable season will
soon overcome this disadvantage. The corn
crop. also of the earliest growth, in some
portions OF the parish, was damaged by the
storms; large stalks were broken and much
of it thrown down. The cane looks well
