From Idaho, on the river, nearly a
hundred miles above here, and not far
from the northern limits of the cotton
belt, Mr.. w. J. Edmunds has gath
cred stalk Of cotton which is now at
the Cotton Exchange. 1t is of colos-
sal dimensions, long enough to hide
an ordinary sized mule behind its foil
age and full Of blooms and bolls, some
of the latter being nearly full grown
The vigorous and healthy condition
of this cotton stalk indicates that the
season has been more than usually
propitious up about Idaho.

GROwING COrToN.
It's Condition on the First of the
Month.

The condition Of growing cotton, a.
reported by the Cotton Exchange fol
July, is out.
The leading points are the excessive
drought, the early opening and ma
turing of the growth, and its less
favorable condition, owing 10 the
effects of heat and lack Of rain. The
effect of the drought has been general
throughout the district.
By the end Of the present month
picking will be general in the
district. On some plantations in
North Mississippi it will be general
by the 10th inst; on others four or
five wseks later, and in West Tennes-
see and North Alabama it will become
general between August 10Th and
September 18th. The long continued
drought has stunted the growth Of the
plant and caused the fruit to mature
too rapidly, Some serious shedding
of bolls and squares is reported, and
four reports from Mississippi and one
from Arkansaw announce worms but
no damage yet.
On the whole the average condition
is better than was expected, though
there has been no Improvement in the
nature of the weather since the first
of the month, on the contrary the
drought and heat continue and pros
poets favor a much earlier ripening Of
the entire crop than the average Of
former seasons.
The reports are summed up from
"a different correspondents, of which
81 are from West Tennessee, % from
North Mississippi and % from North
Arkansaw. The condition Of the crop
as compared with last year is summed
up by SO reporting not so good, 10
better and 10 about the same.
