Weatuery WHICH We Will nave from preSenl
outlook. We will have one of the largest
crops ever made in the county provided
| the worms do not come, and none have
appeared so far.
Jackson-AcreaRe, per cent. over last
yearS condition, 30 per. cent. better! time,
ton days later; yield (probablej, SC per
cent. more.
Oxford-Prospect very favorable, and if
no disaster occurs will reslixe per cent
more than last year.
Aberdeen Fully as far advanced as last
year crops clesn; plants good size and
well fruited. Weather has been very ia.
vorable. Yield probably 20 per cent
greater than last year. Is
Observation-Disclosures Just now for q
good crop. Rain needed on hill lands.
Columbus-Crop of section good; large
yield indicated; some reports of worms in
localities, but not in the way of complaint.
Natchez-Cotton will average 20 per
cent. better than last year in this county.
Daily rains that may damage the crop. No
worms.
Yszoo City-Crop in this section has
fully held its own during July. Think il
somewhat improved. Plant averages small,
but we'll fruited, and hes rapidly ,,ad.
vanced toward maturity. If weather good
in August rue yield may be expected.
Vicksburg-Crops better than for many
years. Too much rain for past week, but
no harm will be done if rain does not con-
ttnus.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh-Condition Of the crop in this
section best known in years. Stands good,
cultivation good, plant strong, healthy and
well fruited.
Charlotte-Rrospes cts never better than
az Araoonf ", oS-o orS- raor<oaf for fko loruQet
crop ever made in CUR county.
Tarboro-Prospects much improved.
Nice rains and good seasons for the psst
fifteen days have caused the plant to grow
and fruit remarkably we'll. Cotton much
ahead of corn crop. With good seasons
will make an average crop.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Greenville-Condition of crop could not
be better. 1t ia all the land will produce.
Oldest planters say that they have never
seen such prospect. Acreage about the
same as last year.
Abbeville-Cotton prospects of the
county better. than since the war. The
crop csn Sc SAFELY put dSwh at 10T.
Charleston-So far the crops are gener-
ally good. Too much rain in a few locsli-
ties. Worms have appeared in some sec.
tions of the State, but little damage has so
confined to the sea island or long cotton
belt.
Winnsboro-Prospect much better than
for years. Fine season and nothing to
prevent a large crop. Plant large and well
fruited.
Marshall--Prospects still good. Can do
without rain Ill middle of Augu.t, or
later, without damage. This section will
make good crop without rain balance of
season. Never saw finer prospects this
season in Eastern Texas.
Dallas-Last general rainfall in No tn
Texas July 9th. Sandy districts appre-
beusive. Crops replsnted after worms
disappeared would be greatly benefited
by early rains, as plant i5 yet too small to
shade the ground. Oh prairie and black
lands crop is developing finely, and will
| persture is very high. IN general devel-
opment ard promise we regard the crop of
North Texas as greatly in advance of last
| years. With same unfavorable conditions
| which existed from this time forward last
year we can certainly calculate on large
yield.
Paris-Prospect about as good as we
| could desire up to date. II can have dry
weather balance of month crop will be best
| for several years.
Lagrange-IDcressed acreage over 1884,
| ten per cent; prospects at this time, fifty
per cent better than same time last year.
Prospects fatteiing, rain or no rain, but
with dry weather will have more than av-
erage CROP.
Corsicana-Prospects very good. Aver
age crop certain, and fair prospect for a
larger one.
Gainesville-Pros5 5ects fattering for a
good crop. Weather for four or five weeks
all that could be desired. With good
rain, in ten days we have prospect of best
crop in five yeara.
Denison-Crop Of the county bids fair to
be large.
..-puerson--A general rain by 18th, if
no worms appea-, will assure full crop.
Marshall : Harrison county crop is good.
Some little shedding in dry localities.
Some rust. reported; but amounts, to
nothing Crop eiua1 fully to those of 1892
and 1883, and will make 20 per cent more
than last year with anything ke favor
