needing rain, but is blooming and fruiting
we'll, and the stands are good. There is some
complaint of injury occurring while cleaning
off grass after the wet spell during the first
part of May. As compared with last year,
the prospect is not so promising for the far
mer. Owing to the cool nights the plant
has been troubled with lice, and owing to
the late season of getting the plant under

complaints Of the caterpillar.
FLORIDA.
Twenty eight replies from thirteen coun-
ties since the 1st of June, state that the

tion of too cool nights, but not so favorable
for the development of the cotton plant as last
year. The area devoted to cotton remains
the same as last report the stands are good
and the plant blooming and forming we'll.
The present condition of the plant is good,
though small, and as compared with last year,
backward and not as promising Oh account
of the following various drawbacks: : first, too
much rain, then lice and now the want of
rain. Caterpillars are reported in several
counties, but no injury threfrom as yet. In
the Sea Island section the prospect of the
farmer is more cheering in every respect than
last year, which was bad throughout. The
stands are reported in good condition and the
plant blooming and forming we'll.
