The wealth er for the past two weeks
has been disastrous to the late cotton
and will cut what promised to be big
crop lamentably short. The frost
ten days ago, had it been followed by
warm, dry weather, would have been
of great benefit in causing the yet
closed bolls to open and in checking
the rank growth of leaf and stalk. On
the contrary, the frost was followed by
rain, and the bolls which we're opened
by the rain we've filled with water and
staple ruined by rotting, and the SUBJ
sequent wet W Gather has only increas.
ed the mischief daily. Should the
weather clear up bright and warm, a
considerable quantiry would still ma.
ture, while each day Of prolonged
wet weather intenslfies the damage. 1t
is cheerful, however, to notice the fac,
that for once at least in the history Of
cotton in Central Texas, Providence
worked on the side of the sons of toll
delaying the first until the bulk of ar
exceptionally late crop had been gath
cred.
