The Outlook.
The agricultural outlook has not
for many years been 80 encouraging
The wheat crop was fully up to an
average. The yield of oats was uu.
precedented. A full cotton crop will
almoat certainly be realized. With
an early corn crop assured beyond
all doubt and the late crop very
promising the indications are that
our farmers will have "corn to sell
and keep" Peas will be fully up to
an average if they do not surpass it.
The rice crop bids fair to be better
than usual. Sorghum, sugar cane,
potatoes, turuips and all the smaller
crops will yield bouutifully. The
farmers began be new year almost
dlaplrlted from the misfortunes
eauaed BY the unprecedented drought
OF last year, but with the indomita-
bic courage aud energy which have
ever characterized the people OF the
State they commenced their opera
lions ior the year They have pur-
,ued their avocation with pluck
and perseverance, worthy of their
noble calling, and, with the favorable
seasons which have prevailed during
he year. they have overcome almost
nsurmountable difficulties and at
ne close Of the year they can look
Jack upon their work with pride and
and will enjoy the fruits
# their labors which they have go
astly won.

Cotton.

Inc condition OF cotton is below an
average, owing almost entirely to the
cool spring, which injured the stand,
and from the effects of which it has
not recovered. The greatest injury
was sustained by the Northern coun.
ties. The plant for the last mouth
has been growing finely and lruiting
well. Some apprehension is felt on
account Of continued rains, but no
damage OF any consequence is yet
reported from this cause. -Four cor.
respondents in Darlington, Colleton
and Hampton Counties note the ap
pearance Of sAe worm, but in very
small numbers, and they have not

ported by four correspondents in Ar.

Counties, and nine correspondents in
Darlington, Fairfield, Berkeley

is shedding leaves and fruit, but no
uneasiness is felt from either rust or |
shedding unless The rains during Au.

Bile seasons better land was devoted
