We are indebted to the Superintendt Mt of
the Exchange for copy OF the Nashville Cot
tor Exchange crop report, made up from in
quires sent out jane a. then IL counties in
North Alabama and Middle TENNESSEE, east
OF the Tennessee River, and west Of the Cum.
berland Mountains In their preliminary re-
marks the committee say: From the cheer
ful tone in which our correspondents express
themselves, and with no unforeseen disaster,
we think that the country may look forward
to the largest crop, Of all kinds, produced
since the war. tN
Labor is reported much improved, crops
better worked, cleaner, and grounds in better
state of cultivation than for years In por-
tions of Alabama complaints are made of
want Of rain; while in Tennessee, near this
city, some complain of too much, but from
other sections reports are very favorable and
highly satisfactory. Since our report was
written seasonable rains have fallen in loca-
tons reported dry. The average dates of
the replies is june 9th for Alabama and
June 295h for TENNESSEE, and cover the
period from May 18th. We condense the re-
plies as follows; From Alabama-Weather
favorable-warm, but most too dry-some
complaints of cold nights; no additional
planting; stands good, forming we'll and
some blooms; two report bad stands; condi-
ton better than last year; plant small; ten
days to two weeks later; labor much better;
only one complaint of plant not looking we'll.
From Tennessee-34 replies report weather
warm and dry; 30 report seas6nab1e With
plenty of rain; others weather favorable, ex-
cept complaints of cool nights; all agree;
the acreage is rs 79 cent less than last year,
and 2 report cotton plowed up and planted
with corn; report bad stands; rest report
good stands, forming very well; 2 report
blooms, condition better than last year, plant
small, crop weeks behind last year; + re-
ports the worst prospect for 40 years; re-
port damage from insects caused by cool
nights; report damage from grasshoppers;
all report labor good and crops clean and in
fipa on III voto0 i
