The cultivated crops in Texas are
IN flonrlshing condition.
Sufficient rain has .l;lAlcn in nj.
most every locality to supply iho
need of corn aid cotton.
Tho small grains such as wheat
rye and barley is being cut and
promises Il good yield
In our i.hmcdiatc section the sea
son has no. been good for all crops.
Corn looks WELL and if the sea.
son to come is anything like favor.
bic, II large yield may be expected.
The oat crop looks badly on nc.
count OF dry weather, and the grass
is also very short from some causc,
The stock drovcrs have mostly
gone North with their nerds. and
with Il favorable season there will
be IN abundance Of rank, rich
grass, and fat calf and lamb will
be plenty.
Our exchange list tells of quite
number Of Texans that have re-.
Gently imported fine stock from tho
bluegrass country San Antoaio
Uruid.
The San Antonio Herald of the
10th inst. speaks of corn being in
full lassel in that part of Texas
Barley is there already to be cut.
We think but IlttIc wheat is grown
in BcXar county. In this conncc.
ton, wo are reminded that Mr..
Quigg, whose plantation is IN Fort
Bend county, says his corn, and
that OF his ncisbbors, is also in tas-
sci, and that be never had better
crops Of all kinds. lie is pIantipr
largely in sugar, and the crop il
splendid. BY the way, Mr. Qnirg
is one Of the best and most success.
iul farmers in the country, and if
anybody wants to know the actual
profits of ii,rming in Texas, we re-.
fer to him, for reliable information
Many would be aslonishcd to learn,
from him the actual results of his
own investment in Texas lands and
stocks.
We had tinc rains last week. com.
ing very scasonabIy, and pushing
vegetation ahead at II rapid pacc.-
Wheat and Corn have never looked
more promising at this season of the
year. The fruit crop, aIso, bids
fair to be abundant. With good
crops, fair price for our immense
herds Of cattle, and certain com
plc'ion ut an early day OF the Pa.
ctic railroad, we are likely to have
a larger immigration to this section
next fall than ever before, and the
present frontier will advance ty.
ward prosperity and wealth with
rapid strides. Whenever tho rail
road is put between us and the
savagcs on the north, it will not be
long before this, nearly the REQ.
graphical center Of Texas, will have
a population as dense as il is cnti-
tied to from the muniilccnt gifts Of

We take the following from tho
Waco Examiner of the l1th inst:
Our friend, Maj. |. Long, camo in
this morning, and reports the re.
suits OF his enquiries into the wheat
of the upper counties
which have lately been visited by
him.
The Major took n good deal of
pains to secure definite information
as to the amount planted in each of
the counties here mentioned, and
his figures may be received as
about rs correct as could be easily
obtained.
