tied with good showers, and a heavy yield O.
corn is assured Cotton prospects indicate

The copiors rains in Cooke county cam,
just in time to save the crops. Farmers are il

terlns in everything except wheat.
The Temple Sun says that there is a feeling il
| Bell county that the best crops for years are
| now in the fields.
Wise county crops are improving greatly I'M
DER the line growing rain that fell here last Sat
urday.
Crops are in a fine condition in Coleman
county. Sundays rain was all that was needed
to help them along.

| three weeks in La Sale county. The rain tina
came was badly needed.

! by the rust but too late TO do it any injury.
| Other crops are looking well.

| the acre in Greer county
MENARDvnLE, Tex. June 16.-The late fine
rains have put everything in good shape in this
| county. Crops of all kinds couid not be more
| promising. The range is "simply immense. ]"
stock OF all kind is fat.
ALBANY, TEX, June I6.-The corn crop in this
section is good, and cotton is far better than
ever before. Our county is second to none in
the state.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, June IA goo rain
visited this section of country on Sunday and
everybody is in splendid spirits now, especially
the farmers, as the crops had begun to suffer
considerably from want of ram.
HUNTSVILLE, TEX, June 19.-Heavy rains dur
ing the past few weeks have interfered with the
farmers in their work somewhat, and set them
back great deal. The corn crop OF the section,
however, promises to be one of the largest ever
gathered, and there will be no necessity of send
ing off for corn again, as was done this spring.
Oats are in fine shape and cotton promises to
givea splendid yield.
FARMERsvILLE. TEX, June Is.-The farmers
are up with their crops and the prospects were
never better at this time of the year. and if no
disaster comes over the crops the farmers of old
Collin will make more this year than they can
gather this fall.
THE GAZETTE was yesterday the recipient of
mammoth radish, weighing over six pounds and
measuring eighteen inches in length and about
seventeen in circumference. This wonder grew
in the garden of DR.. G.. W. Mathis Of Bowie
where there are others that excel it in size. It
was forwarded to THE GAZETTE to be placed
among the exhibits of Montague county at the
rooms OF the Panhandle and North Texas Immi-
grafton association.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, June 16.-FaTmers and
thrashers report the wheat crop turning out
much better than expected. Owing to the large
number of THRASH hers shipped in here from the
old counties in the state, the price asked for
thrashing is somewhat less than last year.
Last season We paid ten cents bushel for
thrashing wheat, the thrasher furnishing all
hands required and feeding the men. This sea-
son the same work will be done for from seven
to eight cents per bushel which is fair price
when there is as much work there is in this
section. If the railroads leading to Texas from
Kansas don't haul wheat, oats. ETC., from Kan
sas for nothing, the farmers in the Wichita
Falls country will get good prices for their pro-
ducts this season.
DANGERETELD, Tex, June 17.-Corn, cotton
and cane crops in this county are good up to
date, but the fruit crop is failure.
ABILENE. TEX, June ls.--This section was
visited this morning by fine rain of several
hours duration, which is very fine the grow
ing crops. Harvesting is progressing nicely
and the Abilene country will enjoy q bountiful
yield of wheat and other small grain, and pros
poets are excellent for a cotton and corn crop.
Peaches and other native fruit are now becom-
ing plentiful on our market and shipments are
now being made to Fort Worth and Dallas,
where, as heretofore, Abilene had to import her
early fruit from Weatherford, but now Abilene
will fill the orders of Parker county.
