No 800 FRosT STREET,


plant of too much an in sections of Ar
kansas and Mississippi, making the growth
OF the plant too rapid and sappy to fruit
well Crops that have only been recently
cleaned from the grass are suffering most,
and need rain to revive them from their
stuntcd condition. AS a general thing the
uplands and sandy land crops are in bet
ter condition than the Mississippi river
bottom crops, which have had too much
rain earlier in the season. There has
been no serious damage IN yet, though
we note some caused by rust, blight,
drought and grass, none by worms. Pick
ing will commence about two weeks later
than last year, or September o, against
August 20 last year.
