AUGUST CROP REPORT OF Lou
1sIANA.--New Orleans, Sept. o.
The National Cotton Exchange
of the department of New Or.
leans makes the following re-
port for August:
From 80 parishes in this State
we have received SO replies; aver
age date of Aug. 81. They report
the weather generally hot and
dry and somewhat less favorable
than last year. The plant had
fruited well but the extremely
hot, dry weather caused it to
shed badly in the hills and
slightly in the bottoms. The
condition as compared with last
year varies with locality. In riv-
er parishes it is decidedly better;
the interior not so good; picking
had commenced and would be
general by September 10th to
18th. Worms had appeared in
nearly every parish and had
done serious injury in Rapides
and Avoyelles. In other par
ishes the injury is slight to date
of our replies, but the worms
were eating and increasing rap
idly in numbers. The injury by
shedding is very serious and
generally complained of in our
replies.

men and planters of the sur
rounding parishes. AS all know
the object of the association is
to encourage immigration to this
section Of Louisiana, hence all
the parishes that feel an interest
in the movement should be fully
and ably represented. We have
the healthiest country and most
productive lands of any State in
the Union, and when we can con-
vince the people of the North
and West of that fact and that
we are anxious to have them
come and locate among US by
offering them sufficient induce
ments they will come.-[S hreve-
