CROP NOTES.
Corpus ChristI-Cottou picking Is pro-
crossing.
B5enham-Rain has slightly degraded
cotton and delayed picking but 1t has i'm
proved the top crop.
Notwithstanding rain is of great
benefit to late cotton and will make q
good top crop if the frost holds off.
Preparations for sowing wheat are pro-
crossing.
Temple-There will be no top crop of
cotton. Picking is progressing.
Vernon-Rust and worms are injuring
late cotton. Early cotton is turning out
better than was expected.
Fort Worth-The cotton crop is shorter
than at first estimated. Recent rains
have not materially injured it..
dericksburg-Picking was retarded
by showers. The ground is in good con-
dition for blowing.
New Braunfels-Cotton IS turning out
better than was expected. There was
very little damage from rain.
Mesquite-Cotton picking is retarded
by the rain, but no damage has resulted.
The rain has greatly improved late
cotton and put the ground in good con-
ditIon for fall blowing.
Lampasas-The weather has affected
crops fayorhblY.
Burnet-The weather Is favorable for
picking. Cotton is turning out better
than was expected.
Round Rock-The recent rains have
greatly improved all the crops.

for all crops.
While over West and part of Central

weather has affected the crop as a whole
most favorably.

rains have fallen throughout Kimble
county. The cattle men are happy.

drouth has at last been broken up. We |
have had some rain, enough to start the
grass, but. not enough to make stock |
water. The cotton crop will soon all be |
gathered. The yield is better than was
expected. Our corn crop is poor; some |
of the best yields from twelve to fifteen |
bushels to the acre, others almost |
nothing. The people five miles north of |
our place had tne rain yesterday.
TERRELL, Sept. 1.-THE hay business |
is a big thing this season. Many persons
are baling straw for the winter feeding. |
This winter will throw feed up to high |
prices Cattle are looking fine and there
is plenty of pasturage, and that of the
very best quality.
WICHITA FALLS, Sept. 1.-THE re-
cent heavy rains placed the ground in fine
condition for fall glowing. and a much
larger acreage of wheat will be planted
this year than ever before. Gradually
