AOOA SO-ua1
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
September Is, 1881.
COTToN.-Reports of September 1st to
this department show q very heavy decline
in the condition Of cotton since the last re-
port, owing to the protracted drought
which has prevailed in all sections of the
cotton belt. The condition as reported is
70, a decrease of 16 per cent. during the
month of August, and, as compared with
the returns at the same date last year, Is 10
per cent. less. The reports are from three
hundred and thirty counties of the cotton
section, and are somewhat less In number
than usually received. The number of
counties and State averages are as follows !:
North Carolina-42 counties, reporting an
average of 70.
South Carolina-22 counties; average 6S.
Georgia-55 counties; average II.
Florida-14 counties; average 81.
Alabama-33 countless average so.
Mississippi-37 counties; average "a.
Louisiana-15 counties; average 76.
Texas-60 counties; average 65.
Arkansas-31 counties; average 55.
Tennessee-21 counties; average g..
CoRN.-The general average condition Of
the corn crop on September 1st was sixty,
being IL per cent. lower than the month
previous, and 81 per cent. lower than year
ago at the same date. The cause Of the
low cOn0ltlOn existing IN almost every sec
tion of the country is the drought. New
England has been less affected by it than
any other section east of Mississippi, and
reports an average of ninety. In Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and most of the territories,
there has been more seasonable weather,
and the condition of the crop is correspond
ingly better; but in all sections the reports
show the effects of the unusually dry sea-
son. From Illinois, Missouri and Kansas
come serious complaints of ravages by
chinch bug, added to the prevailing drought,
and the injury to the crop prospect is
shown by the State averages, which are So,
AZ and 65, respectively.
TOBACCo.-Returns from correspondents
give very serious decline in the
prospect for the crop, being some 20 per
cent. less than a month since, with the ex-
ceptiop of the States north of the Delaware
river and Wisconsin. In the West the uni
versal complaint is the drought. Kentucky
and Illinois each report q little over half q
crop, while Tennessee and Missouri report
less than two-thirds. The average for the
whole country is only 65, against IS last
month and "a at this same date last year.

A lightning-rod man drove up to a
fine new house out West, and told the
man sitting in the door that he ought
to have lightning-rods on it. The man
said he had not thought about it, but
had no objections. So the lightning
rod man put rod up on one corner
and asked the man who was still read
ing the newspaper, if he had any OBJ
jections to his putting up rods on the
other corners. and the man said no.
When the job was done, the peddler
presented his bill.

All kinds of burns, scalds, and sun
burns are almost Immediately relieved
by the application of q solution of soda
to the burnt surface. It must be re-
membered that dry soda will not do
unless it is surrounded with cloth moist
enough to dissolve it. This method of
sprinkling it on and covering it with a
wet cloth is often the very best. But
it is sufficient to wash the wound re-
peatedly with strong solution. 1t
would be well to keep bottle of it al
ways on hand, made so strong that
more or less settles on the bottom. This
is what is called q saturated solution,
