RICE, May s.-ESpecial. Acreage of
oats and wheat less than last year,
but the yield promises to be very full, suf.
iicient to make better turnout than last
year, which was light. Planting began very
late, but the farmers generally pushed
things, and the result was satisfactory. The
acreage of corn is % per cent. greater than
last year; stand good and promises well.
About two-tnirds of the cotton is now
planted, and the ground is getting very
hard. We need rain, which, if here in a
day or two, will enable the farmers to finish;
acreage will be greater than last year if we
have rain in time, General prospect isfair,
but scasonabe rain is needed to keep it so.
CoRsICANA, May Sowing to the late
spring and heavy rainfall, planting was
kept back several weeks. The acreage III
cotton has been increased about per cent
owing to farmers not being able to get in All
oat crop; cotton on high prairie lands is
looking well. Corn is knee high in man y
places, the crop though is a doubtful one
this season on account OF the late planting
and heavy rains. Considerable land hrs
been fenced this spring, but most of it will
be used for pasturage. The cattle range il
growing less year by year, and the ship
ments of cattle to western counties increas.

HILLsDoRo, May Especial. THE cror
prospect in this section is not near so good
as it was this time last year. The corn is
about all up, and some have worked theirs
over. There is some cotton up, but there
is still n great deal to plant. There is not
more than one-third Ms much small gain
sown ms last year; but what is sown looks
fine. The farmers are all about to catch III
with their work again, and look for good
crop yet. Some think good rain would
no beneficial now, and ! have no doubt it
would.
This county is rapidly becoming one Of
the great grain portions of the state. There
ISM change in the acreage Of wheat sown,
but there has been many more planted in
corn and sown in oats. There has also
been little rye and barley sown, but not
enough to attract particular notice. The
acreage planted in cotton is tritle above
that of year ago, and it looks well now
With favorable season it will no doubt
produce n satisfactory yield. The increg se
in cattle has been about 50 per cent, and
about like increase in sheep. Stock is

Washington County

BRENNAN. May s.-TSpecial. THE con,
dition of growing crops in our county is a:
follows: Cotton is two weeks late; retarded
two weeks by cold nights and want of rain
in the northern part of the ounty; the gen.
eral condition is fair, and prospect good.
Corn is irregular in coming up; some had
10 be planted over; generally good stand.
The average sown as compared with last
year is Cotton, same acreage, no increase;
Corn, small increase this year; Grain, such
as oats, millet, etc., same as last year.
The condition Of increase in stock OF all
kinds is: horses, mules, etc., no increase:
condition good; cattle and hogs, slight de-
crease of sales.
The season though late in starting bids
fair to turn and end well. Farmers are well
up with their work. Stands of cotton and
corn look well. Cotton is being chopped
and corn plowed. The prospects are en-
couraglng and farmers are hopeful.

Williamson County.

Round Rock, May 3.-[Special THE
acreage in oats and wheat in this county is
about one-third less than last year. Corn,
the acreage is 10 to 10 per cent more. Cotton,
say lOpar cent more. Crops of all kinds
are later than last year, but are in good
condition, We need good rain now or
in few days. We don't think that cattle
and horses are on the increase in this
county, but have wintered well aud are in
good condition. Sheep are on the increase,
and we think have wintered better in this
county than any county in the state. We
have more fine sheep than any county in
Texas-about l5O,U0 head or nearly so. AT
a public sheep shearing near TAYLOR, in
this county, last month, as high as 1921
pounds was clipped from one animal that
was clipped Twelve months ago. The cot
ton crop of the county for 1852 and 1893 is
about 80 600 bales, and our cotton is mostly
of high grade. We have Il great many
Swede and German farmers who always
save their cotton in good condition.

Anderson County,

rALE,TiNE, May l.-[Special. THE cot
ton crop in Anderson county is said to be,
by those in a position TO know, fully up to
the average condition of the cotton plant
at this season Of the year, in any of the
most successful years. Corn is backwar
and is generally conceded to be about two
weeks late, but plentiful In quantity and
excellent in quality, 80 that with fair
conditions crop fully up to the average OF
good years will be made. There is a very
gratifying yearly increase in the acreage OF
land cultivated in this county, new farms
being continually opened up, and present
holdings enlarged. The agricultural pro.
ducts Of the county apart from cotton, corn
fruit and vege, ables are not worth consid
GRAFTON, no attention being given to other
grains.
The fruit and vegetable crop of this yeal
will show a very gratifying increase, and
the shipments of these products to north.
ern markets during the present season viii
be far In excess Of what has been sent in
any previous year.
TAKEN altogether the crop prospects in
Anderson couRty at this time are very
promising indeed.

Wise County.

DECATUR, May 3.-[Special. The condi-
ton of the growing crops in our county is
not an average tor the season. Wheat is
above the average and the prospect is very
fair. The acreage increased above last
year about 20 per cent. Corn and cotton
late. The acreage increased on account OF
new land having been taken in. The in
crease is about % per cent.
Stock of all kinds is looking well. The de.
crease in number on account of driving
west is about 10 per cent.
AURORA, May, 5.-[Special. The acre.
age of winter wheat is perhaps 10 per cent.
greater than last year, with prospect
of at least 40 per cent better yield. Oats
are sown to four or five times greater ex-
tent, and the prospect is fine. Barley, but
little sown. Rye, a little, and looks well.
Corn, better acreage and prospect very flat
tering Cotton increase 70 per cent. great.
er than that of last year.
With regard to stock, the per centage on
hand, compared with last year, is about 50
of cattle. and the condition is decidedly
better. Hogs will show an increase OF 30 to
40 per cent. Horses remain about the
same.
The ground is in very good condition,
there having been plenty Of rain, and tax
ing it all in all, our prospects here are very
much better than last year.
The grazing lands are showing decided
improvement since last spring. a good deal
owing, no doubt, to their having been
fenced and rested to some extent. The
pastures that have been protected are grow
ing up with curly mesquite, and promise
soon to riva the famous range of the clear
fork of the Brazos. The forming portion
Of the county, aurora, YOU know, lies at
the edge of the upper cross-timbers, the
dividing line between the grazing and
farming lands), is rapidly being developed
into farms as productive as gardens, and it
will soon be the Eden Of Northwest Texas.

AUSTIN, May S-[Special. Acreage in
cotton about the same as last year, with
iirst planting up, stand good and plant
healthy. Late planting not up. Acreage in
grain considerably larger than last year,
especially corn, which is growing well and
Is in good condition. Wheat, oats and rye
thin ON the ground, but headed well and
free from rust. Where good stands prevail
the yield Will be much larger than last
year, with prospects OF early harvest.
The fruit crop bids fair TO be fine and far
above tile average.
Crops, as general thing, are clean, and

Rain is badly needed. Weather warm

DENTON, May i.-[Speoiall The crop In
Denton never presented a more promising
appearance than they do now. Oats are as
fine rs can be; wheat is growing and head
ing beautifully, and the stand of corn re-
markably good, The season has been late,
but there is an acreage of 30 per cent. more
of wheat, % of oats, % of corn, 20 of barley,
10 of rye and 10 per cent, more OF cotton
planted. The trade OF the.county asreported
by me chants II fully 50 per cent in advance
of last year.
LEwIsvILLE, May 7.-[Special. l--Our best
farmers are of the opinion that the wheat
crop of this ncighborhood will make an NV
crage yield of twenty bushels per acre. and
that the prospect for full crop OF corn,
cotton and oats are very llattering. There
Is u small decrease in the acreage OF cotton
In favor of wheat. A great many ARE lenc-
ing all their vacant land Tor pasture, as the
demand for cattle being greater than the
sdpply. Several fine barns have Just been
completed, and the entire farming and com
mercial interest is in healthy and pros.
porous condition.

Preston County,

WORKMAN, May 4.-[Speclal.l The con
tinued wet weather through the early
spring has thrown farmers behind. Lane
breaking was seriously retarded just at the
time it should have been done, and much
that was plowed was two wet, which
lett ii in bad condition. Oats, which wer,
almost failure last year, promise no bet.
ter this year. and indeed the entire crop
prospect must e,said to be, on IN average
behiud last year. Corn is up and u coed
stand has been obtained but it is a month
late, and much of it has been badly put in
The recent fair weather has been more
favorable for the preparation of cotton
land, but We think the acreage will fall
shor, of last year. Many large land owners
complain that they have been unable to
let out all their land this season. This is
most likely due the fact that very few immi.
grants stop in this section. Railroads have
penetrated the wild west in all directions
and following them along their lines, EN-.
migration naturally seeks the nrthest
western limits. Hence, in the Wild craze
to "go west" Workman and her sister towns
in the interior are passed by. Hence much
of the finest land on the continent is lying
idle while the poorest lands in the west are
being populated. All this will change
however, in the near future. Though the
stock interest seems Just now TO be In the
most thriving condition OF all, yet the
careful observer must see unmis,akabe
evidence that stock raising on q large scale
is vastly on decline In this part OF Texas
Every one who owns q few hundred acres
is straining all his resources to fence IL fol
pasturage. This shows that the people are
beginning to realize that the range is mo-
what 1t once was, and that II they would
raise stock they must coniine them o.
their own lands and exclude other stock
They have not yet thought OF the fact
that It requires @ acres Of pasture land and ;
years TO produce $2j beef, and that the
same land In cotton will produce in the
same time II } dollars. But when immisra
ton has filled up the west aud the tida
wave comes back upon us, facts will com,
to the surface, and things will change. Far
mers rs q mile are too easily discouraged ant
too ready to grasp at something else when
an uniavorabe season occurs. Though tn,
prospect seems not the brightest now, will
favorable seasons and good fall for gath
ering, our section may produce u bouuti
full crop this year. II Is not the larges
crop always that pays best.

The CAT crop will be very light. No

Farmers are giving their whole attention

kinds. The farmers are in better condi-
