CHEERING CROP REPORTS FROM TExAS

The Galveston Mercury OF the sth publishes crop
reports from nearly all the counties, ana sums up
the situation thus
The indications are that far greater area Of
cotton has been planted this year than at any time
since the close of the war. Better than that the
great staple appears to have prospered the fields
being reported much cleaner than usual and the
stand In good condition. AS yet the worm has
not been discovered III but one county, and this ID
supposed to be the grass worm. Another report
OF this dreaded enemy OF our chief staple comes
from the frontier, but 1t lacks confirmation The
spring rains, 1t will be seen, have injured
the corn crop TO greater or less extent through
out the state; but in the meantime the farmers
have made the valuable discovery that late corn
thrlves far better, ana in consequence next year
larger acreage OF this variety VIII be planted. The
wheat crop throughout the northern portion OF the
State Is harvested and, although the yield has not
been enormous, 1t is, nevertheless, encouraging,
and will certainly furnish bread to That section.
Oats in several counties have given better returns
for the labor OF planting than ever before and we
can look for several shipments to Galveston Dy the
close OF the present month. All things considered,
Texas has reason to congratulate herself on the
prospect before her, and should no untoward acci-
dent occur we hope for bounte0us harvest
