Average date about the 18th. Weather
nearly universally represented as very
favorable Stands fine and the plant
forming we'll, though TOO early for many
blooms. The present condition is
stated as very good, and mitch better
when compared with last year. No 8d-
ditiOnal acreage put in cotton. Re
planting has been done where the plants
we're imperfect. Labor plenty and eff
acient.
Arkansas-50 correspondents send in
their answers from % counties. Since
the first of June the weather has been
hot, and most enough to promote rapid
growth and cause the plant to form and
square well. The stands are ve.y good,
and no repianting has been needed, ex-
cept in a few exceptional cases. Brad
ley county reports the first bloom on
the SJh inst, but it Is only exceptional,
and as rule blooming had not begun
at the date of our answer and cores
pOndentS are unanimous in represent
ing the condition as exceedingly prOmis-
ing and far superior to that of last
year. Planters are encouraged by the
prospect, one of the finest ever known.
Considerable attention and care has
been devoted to the cultivation of
cereals, and owing to the excellent
harvest, a feeling of independence is
very noticeable in our correspondence.
