EARLY COTTON BLOOMs-.THE CROPS.
If early cotton blooms, bolls and squares, indi-
cate favorably of the cotton crop, we incline to
the opinion that the prospect is unprecedentedIy
good in York county. We have not received
exactly an avalanche of these harbingers OF the
feecy staple-for the only reason that they came
one at a time-and moved more in the form OF a
steady stream than sudden rush.
The first bloom brought to our office was on
Wednesday of last week, by Mr.. W. w. Carson,
who endeavored to get it here in time for an
nouncement in the ENQUIRER, which went to
press that day; but provoking delay prevent
ed sufficiently close connection. Mr.. Carson IS
farming in the neighborhood of Philadelphia
Church, and the bloom he sent us was plucked
on the oath. 8.
On Friday last, Mr.. w. Sam. Wilson, who is
farming in the Indian Land section, about ten
miles south east of Yorkville. brought us cot
ton boil, which was plucked from one OF his
fields that morning. The cotton in this field was
planted on the 2Sth of March, and Mr.. Wilson
informs us that he has an abundance OF blooms
and squares.
On the same day, Mr.. Robert higgins, Of the
Blairsvile neighborhood, sent US cotton boil.
On Friday, George Burris and Sam Robinson,
colored, of Bullock's Creek, sent us cotton
blooms plucked from the fields on the plantation
of the late VIM. Robinson.
Messrs. Whitaker & Wilson, of this place. gave
us a bloom pucked from their field, near town,
Monday morning.
Mr.. Peyton b. Love, of Hickory Grove, en-
closes to us under date of the 2Sth, cotton bloom
plucked from his field on the preceding day.
The field was planted on the 23rd OF April. Mr..
Love writes ave also have roasting ears from
the garden of the Adams Extra Early variety.
The peach crop i'm this section is complete fail
ure. We have some of most all other kinds OF
fruit. We have planted for large supply OF
melons on the river this year. Wheat and oat
crops are tolerably good. Farmers are about
done cutting both. The corn and cotton crops
are promising; but we need rain at this time, to
settle the ground about corn that has received
its last plowing."
