The Crops.

Crops prospects in almost every section
appear to he looking as favoraoly rs
could possibly be wished, though we
notice throughout the southwest there
is more or less complaint Of lack OF
rain. Corn and cotton a,e both suffer

Texas. In some portions Of that state
we also observe the inevitable chinch
bug has made its appearance. The
farmers, however, are in the habit OF
making altogether too much of this MS,

The Huntsville (Ala) Advocate says
that instead of corn bs4ng shipped into
that country as has been tho care ever
since the war, it is Piow being shipped
from it. West Tennessee makes sim
liar report. And little corn is now
brought into North Mississippi and Ar
kansas. Cotton is low, hut the farmers
are no longer wholly relying on the
northwest for "hog and hominy." They
are beginning TO produce the necessaries
of life, and to realize that no community
unable to feed itself can bc permanently
prosperous. ct us have more corn and
wheat and fewer trust deeds; more hon.
my and less interest money for summer
advances; more hogs and cattle and
grasses, and fewer debts; more production
of the necessities of life and less cotton !;
more farming and less planting. 1t no
longer pays to "plant," but good farm
ing will pay in every civil district in the
southwest. That's the sort of politics.
