Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-09-01

Comal-Is suffering from intense heat
and four weeks drought. Denton
Present outlook better than ever before,
though some boil worms are a work on a
few farms; some cotton has been given
up to the grass i'll consequence of wet
weather. Ellis-Has improved consider
ably on dry land, but some wet lands
Will be total loss FriO-NO worms
yet, but needs rain badly;
is shedding blooms. Grdyson-Wnl
make the best crop for years should
no casualty befalI. Grlmes-Excess of
rain in June and part of July caused it
TO grow very fast and put on a good deal
of fruit; since then very dry, hot weather
has caused shedding, and unless there is
a reaction now crop Will fall far below a
good average. An assistant puts the
crop a - per cent, and a good rain and
cool nights will prevent its getting so
low. HOustOn-Dry weather is doing
much injury, causing cotton to shed con-
siderabiy; it is feared it will be cut off
almost half should we not get rain this
week. MadisOn-While cotton comes up
to the average now given, unless we soon
have rain condition will drop materially
The stalk is generally very fine, but ex-
cessiye rain through June caused it to
lose many forms. Milam-Many acres
were given up to grass and weeds, owing
to three or four weeks contin-
uous rain; can not tell just how much.
Panola-Fruiting rapidly, but two weeks
late: plenty of moisture at present; some
cotton worms, but no damage as yet.
Red River-Damaged on low. wet land
by too much rain, but improved on thin,
light land, and we are now enjoying the
prospect of fine crops. San Augustine
Is looking well, but wants rain; some
fears OF caterpillar, as some flies have
been seen, ana some claim to have seen
some worms; will use Paris green should
they appear in force. ShelbY-Sman,
but very full of forms and bolls Young
Though late is unusually good. Brazos
Made a very rapid growth int
the early part of season; no rain
since 25th of June, and it q is
failing very fast; . few worms reported
in two localities; no damage yet CheT1s
Okee-Wiu be injured very much in
southern part of county by drouth I'M
less is soon rains; good rains in northern
half. Collin-Well up in growth and
forms, and would reach 100 per cent "a
but for boil worms, which have appeared
in force; it depends on circum stances
whether they lower the percentage5 ore
so. HendersOn-Some reports of &boH
worm, notwithstanding use of fire la moss
also caterpillers in some sections; in spite
OF so much rain till July 10, it is neJts
needed very much on cotton. Johnsoa-S
win be very fine with favorable weather
this month. The boil worm is diag
some damage, but weather is now 4Isya
which is favorable. Leon-Old ~eet-
ton especially is damaged by
want of rain for four weeks.
Outlook now is not very f1attering Me-
COMMUNICATING rain. Newton
While it got very grassy during the wet
June and first of July it is promising
now and if there is not too much dry
weather Will exceed the report. Mata-
gorda-After several weeks 'e,excessive
rains two weeks of fine weather has CONF
sderably improved the prospect sWo rms
are now making their appearances, but
no damage yet. Titus-Has improved
since the spring rains have ceased; some
little excitement about the boil worua
damage not serious yet. Tylerz-fss rst
class for the season and promises ag6ed
yield. RIGHTEOUSNESS oSS an
average yield. WashingtonAThe hot,
dry weather after excessive
rain is very injurious TO the crop, and
should it continue through August the
average will be very low. Bee-Doing
