represented as good, with medium length

acre is expected on both early and late cot
ton than last year.
ALABAMA
Our correspondence from this State is
not large. The weather since fifteenth
July is variously reported, but has been
generally shOWeIy or wet, and on the whole
a little more favorable than during same
period last year. Bottom crop on early and
late cotton, though poor in some places, is
ON the whole promising. Middle and top
crops are N some counties doing WGil, fn
others not, but altogether promise an aver
age yield if not injured hereafter. Army
worms have appeared in fifteen counties,
and have done damage to a considerable
extent in a few. Boil worms are reported
in only few counties. LabOTers are work
ing well. The plant is said to be almost
uniformly long jointed. Picking IS estlm-
ated to have commenced in early cotton
about August 20, and will probably begin
in late about tenth September Yield of
early cotton, it is thought, will be about
sixteen per cent per acre more than last
year and of late about One-eighth more per
acre, with frost at usual time, and no
further injury from worms, etc. Since the
above report was compiled we have in
formation from Selma that army worms
have "swept the crops on black lands, and
are now rapidly spreading to the sandy and
hill lands
NORTH CAROLINA
In this State, the weather since July Is
is reported to US as having been generally
favorable. and as more so when compared
with same date last year. There are no
army worrHs in this State, and boil worms
are reported only in one county tJones),
where little damage has been done. The
bottom crop on both early and late cotton,
is generally reported as boiling and matur-
ing well, middle and top crops are not do
ing quite 80 well; complaint is made of
labor in some counties. The condition of
the plant is on the whole favorable, though
longer jOint6d than usual. Beginning of
picking of early cotton is placed at about
September 6, and in late at about Septem
Der 20. Yield, both of early and late cotton,
as compared with yield last year, is eX-
pected TO be about eight per cent more per |
acre. We haveltlso to note some few com
pl aints OF rust, VICE and shedding

The weather has, according to most ac-
counts, been seasonable and more favorable |
to the crop when compared with same pc
Rod last year Army and boil worms are
only reported i'll two counties, and have

both carly and late cotton is said to be
iOing we'll. OF the top and middle crop
Ome complaints are made, but on the
whole they are represented as an average.
But few complaints are made of the labor.
The condition Of the plant is not very good; |
