206 and 29s Front st, MEMPHIS, June. 4, 1852
We herewith submit our regular monthly
report showing the condition OF growing
crops within the Memphis District, which
embraces West Tennessee, North Missis-
sippi, North Arkansas and North Alabama.
This report is made from $40 letters oil in
auiry sent out MAY %, the replies TO
which bear average date OF May 20.
The weather during May was, in the
main, uniayorabe for both cotton and
corn, and much less favorable than last
year A drouth has prevailed in many
sections accompanied by cool nights,
which has materially affected cotton, and
imperfect stands are generally reported
throughout the district In all the four
States considerable replanting has been
necessary, and the season which
started out full two weeks earlier than
last year is now, owing TO these causes,
at least ten days later. Tennessee,
Alabama and Mississippi have suffered
most. In Arkansas local showers have
fallen, and reports from that State are moi
so discouragng. Stands, where early
il is only the late planting that has sui
iered. II is but proper 10 state, however,
that since these replies were sent In a
general rain has fallen, and prospects have
therefore frightened. The nights have
continued cool, but the moisture that was
needed more than counterbalanced the Ill
effect OF the low temperature. Crops are
generally reported clean, aud, with favor
able seasons from now on. full average
crop OF cotton will be raised within the
district Corn has not suffered to the ex
tent OF cotton, aud fair yield OF this
cereal can reasonably be anticipated.
