TEXAS IN TYPE.
TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

Cotton will yield about one-half bale
to the acre in Hays county. The corn
crop is good.
There is scarcity of hay in Austin
county. The sweet potato crop will be
| good and the fail gardens are fine.
1t is expected that the sorghum of
Throckmorton will yield heavily.
Corn crop failure and cotton very
light is the last reports from Fannin
| county.
The crops in Concho county are rated
at from twenty-five to forty bushels TO
the acre for corn; wheat, eighteen to
thirty bushels; sorghum, four to six
tons; sixty to eighty bushels of oats and
cotton one-half of bale.
Denton cotton Is yielding at the rate of
bale to five acres. Corn is very light.
The cotton of Red river county will be
gathered early. About two-thirds of the
crop is open now.
The acreage in wheat this fall will be
much greater than it was last fall, says
the Sherman Register, and it is not likely
there will be another year as destructive
to the wheat crop as the one we have
just passed through The wheat supply
this year is decidedly behind the demand
and the price will of course go up in pro-
portion. We can therefore expect much
wheat and good price for it by June /
1891.
An exchange correspondent from Tulia
says, pertinenrly: Never in our lives
have we seen so great a contrast of
opinion as regards the crop situation;
probable yield, cause Of success, fall
ures, etc. Some crops of cotton have
made quite a success, others medium,
while some are quite poor indeed. These
varied conditions have certainly been
brought about by certain causes.
Doubtless an intelligent int rpretation
of the same would lead to ben eficial re-
suits among those who raise the tleecy
staple.
TULIA, Sept. 13.-Fine rains continue
on the plains. The lakes are full of
water and vegetation is as green as in
spring time.
WATERFORD, Sept. 14.-Nearly 1000
bales of cotton have been received to this
date, and considerable wheat and other
grain is being daily marketed which, of
course, stimulates business. We have
had fine rains recently and the wheat
growers are very busy sowing wheat.
bROWNWOOD, Sept. lo.-1nlS secLioH
has been blessed with fine rains and the
ground is in fine fix Tor sowing wheat.
There is now plenty of stock water and
grass is growing nicely, with stock IN
good condition. The fall clip of wool is
coming in, about 1000 pounds sold at
1917 to l611a cents per pound. Wheat is
still rolling in by the wagon load and
sells rapidly at 81 90 per bushel. Cotton
comes in at the rate Of from 100 to $50
bales per day. We have already shipped
this season 1000 bales and this time last
year we had not received over $50
bales. The pecan crop good and soon
our market will be filed with fresh
pecans. Plenty of corn is made and
hogs are in fine fix.
SHERMAN, Sept. 14.-The cotton pick
ers, or many of them, during the cold
snap, became benumbed and had to quit
work. The ground is in splendid condi-
ton for ploughing for wheat.
ENNIS, Sept. 1--we are having a
copious rain to-day which apparently is
extensive. Cotton continues to come in
at a lively rate making business brisk
and collections much better than ex-
pected.
