The Memphis Crop District.


The regular monthly crop report for the
Memphis district, which embraces West
Tennessee, North Mississippi, North Ar
kansas and North Alabama, says:
The weather during June was In the main
unfavorabIe for cotton. The complaint is gem
eral of too much rain and crops are badly In
the grass. Stands, a rule, are very irregu-
lar. The early is good, but late planting of cot
ton was affected by the drought which prevailed
during May, and the result is that fully one
half Of the crop is late, generally about two
weeks later than last year The imperfect
stands taken together with the lateness OF
the crop and the unfavorable weather that pre-
vailed during the month makes the outlook any
thing but favorable for the cotton crop. The
plant is reported small and backward in form
ing, while blooms are very scarce. OF our SJ2
correspondents, 20 report land planted In cotton
having been abandoned. owing to imperfect
stands and continuous rains. The majority o.
these crops of abandoned lands come iron
Tennessee, where the weather has been mos
unfavorable, and crops are in the poorest con
dition. Arkansas has the most favorable out
lock, with Mississippi ranking second. Corn II
all the four States is in most f1Ourish1ng con
ditfon. and the outlook for a large yield OF thi
/ cereal is very fattering.
