CRAWFORD, TEX, June l9.-The prospect for
corn and cotton crops has never been better in
the history of this county. There is more acre
age in cotton this season than was ever planted
here before.
LEwIsvILLE, Tex, June 2O.-It is still dry
here. There be but light crop of corn
made now if it does not rain, Cotton is looking
well and promises good yield.
EMORY, TEX, June l9.-During this fine
weather the town is deserted, but occasionally
n farmer who has caught up with his work
comes smiling into town and makes the most
favorable reports of the crops and prospects.
Cotton is in the bloom several farms. Health
Is simply splendid.
PLAINvIEw, Tex, June ls.-A beautiful rain
fell last II light and the ground is covered with
water. Our county is in a prosperous condi-
tion and crops viii do well. The only wheat
ever planted in the county was raised by A. j.
Welter, and was cut last week. 1t will make
about twenty five bushels to the acre. Judge
Burch says his corn will make fifty bushels to
the acre. All over the county comes in reports
likethe two gentlemen mentioned, and it is
the opinion of all that this section is the finest
small grain country in the state.
EsTAcADo, TEX, June IS.-The heaviest rain
known for years fell here last night and it is
still raining. The surface lakes all full. The
value of this rain can not be estimated, as this
insures fine crops and fat cattle, and the pros
pector will find in place of barren waste as has
farm products. This and adjoining counties are |
attracting great many settlers nov. Hurry up |
the Fort Worth and Albuquerque railroad.
VERNON. TEX, June 2O.-There may be diff |
ferent modes of baptism and they may all be ac- |
cording to Hoyle for what know, but one thing |
do know and that is that the Lord smiled and |
gave Wilbarger and adjoining counties one of |
the finest shower baths on the evening of the |
18th inst. that the good people ever had, and to |
say they are glad would be putting it way below |
par. The grain is all in the shock and will be
lair yield, and will be Of good quality as ever
came from the Panhandle, and that is saying |
heaps
DoANs, Tex, June 1s.-We had fine rain
here to-day which will help ont the corn crop
wonderfully. Wheat cutting is about over, and
while the crop is good the average will not be
up to last year. Oats will be short. The dry
weather we have had for a few weeks back Sc
riously injured them.
AMARILLO, TEX, June I9.-There has never
been period in the history of the town and
country when the people felt half so jubilant over
the future prospects as at the present time. Am
Rrillo is crowded with investors, prospectors and
summer resorters, who are spending the summer
in this cool, refreshing climate, and 1t may well
be classed as one of the most sublime health and
summer resorts IN the Northwest. The streets
are daily full of the choicest vegetables all of
which are raised in the Amarillo country. This
is the first year that this country has been tested
by the farmers, and the yield of all kinds of |
-mall grain mas equaled any portion of Texas
yet open ed up, while the prospects for corn and
other later crops very 1atteriag.
LovELADY TEX, June 1S.-We are now hav-
Ing sunshine, and farmers are busy in their cot
ton fields. which were, owing TO so much rain
lately. likely to get badly in the grass. The
prospect for 4 corn crop is now better than any
thought it could be six weeks ago and the out
look for cotton at least an average.
