Weather and Crops.

Extracts from the Louisiana Wealth
er-Crop Bulletin for week ending Sat-
urday, August IL, 1889:
An average temperature, excessive
amount of sunshine and deficient
precipitation characterize the wealth
er conditions in the Northern sec
ton of Louisiana during the past
seven days. In the Southern Sec
ton a nearly normal temperature and
percentage of sunshine; with slight
excess in the amount of rainfall is
noted. The average rainfall for the
week in the eotton-growing portion
of the state was but At of an inch;
in the sugar and rice region an av-
erage Of 158 inches fell.
The prospects for cotton continue
to be good in spite of the numerous
worms. The wholesale poisoning
in progress is keeping planters busy,
they realizing the fact that splendid
crop will be obtained if the caterpil-
lars are destroyed Thus far no ma
terial damage is reported, although
slight damage has ensued.
Picking of cotton will be general
in about eight days in the central
portion of the state.
In the northern portion of the su-
gar region the weather was very IA
vorable to the rice and sugar, but
cane is not receiving enough rain
or sunshine to grow as rapidly as it
should at this season farther south.
The conditions as regard the rice
crop are not as favorable as they
might be: more sunshine and less of
the showery weather would be ben
efcial. Generally favorable reports
are received as to present condition
of all crops.
