caiities until we estimate that at least
two-thirds OF this district has had
copious rains and the weather
is still favorable to additional rain and
we incline to proclaim to our friends

material damaging results to the crop.
The drouth just ended prevented the
crops rapid growth and consequently
we report again that We are Two
to three weeks later than last
season. The damage done our crops
last year by the drouth
was after this date, and having just
had a long drought we rea sonably ex-
pect more favorable weather from this
time on rs compared with the past
season, and consequently a greater
Yield, and cotton of superior fiber.
The weather OF August and September

the accustomed time, with favorable
weather from this time on, our crop
will be good"
