The Cotton Crop.
The following is the cotton exhibit
for the month Of July:
Mississippi-The weather since the
18th of June is reported as having been
warm with frequent showers and is
much more favorable than during the
same period last year Our cores
pondents have seen or heard Of army
worms in twenty counties. and ball
werms in sixteen. but generally only q
few of these insects have appeared in
each county. The plant with very few
exceptions is represented as being well
formed and balIed. Laborers continue
to work well. Picking commenced last
year about the first OF September and
will probably begin this year, in the
early planting, about the 10Th OF Au-
gust and in the late not before the 10th
OF September.
Louisidna-The weather has been in
some places too dry, but generally
warm, with frequent showers. Latterly
too much rain has fallen in some Of the
parishes. particularly those adjacent to
the Mississippi river. The earlier part
OF the crop is we'll matured and boiled,
and the later is generally doing very
well, but is said not to be fruiting very
we'll in some parishes, and especially
those on the Mississippi river already
mentioned as having had an excess OF
wet weather. Scarcely any complaint
is made of labor. An average Of esti-
mates in relation to the commencement
OF picking place it last year at about
the 3lst OF August, and this year, in the
early planting, about the 10th OF
August and in the late about the 10Th
of September. The army worm is re-
ported as having appeared in twenty
and the boil worm in eighteen parishes.
TEXAS The weather since the 18th
OF June has been very favorable, much
more 80 than last year. The plants are
in q fine condition, well formed and
boiled. No complaint is made OF the
labor. In some of the lower counties
picking has already commenced; but
taking the average OF our reports for the
whole State, we think that they will
begin the early planting about the
18th of August. A few army worms
have been reported in two and boil
worms in seven counties.
ArkanSas-The weather since the
18th Of June has, in some parts OF the
State, been sessonable and 10 others too
wet. On the whole not favorable in the
State. Averaging the reports sent us
in cant be said to have been either
decidedly more or decidedly less favor
able than during the same period last
year. In some counties the plant is
said to be we'll formed and boiled, but
as a general thing it is not so. We
have some complaint Of labor being
interrupted by political excitement, but
the bulk Of the laborers are doing well.
Picking began last year about the 5th
of September and is expected to COM
mence about the same time or a trlile
later this year in early cotton and about
the 22d of September in late,
Tennessee. weather since the
18th of June has been very favorable
to the growing crops generally, more so
than last year. Few only OF our latest
letters speak of heavy rains. The plant
is reported as very thrifty, and better
formed and boiled than usual. Nei-
ther the army nor boil worm is re-
ported. Labor is satisfactory. Pick
ing had become general last year by
the the 18th of September, and this
year will probably be 30, in early cotton,
by the 7th OF September, and in late by
the 25th OF September.
