TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

The Cleburne Chronicle says: The recent
rains which have fallen so grsciously and boun-
tifully in this section seem to have been gen.
eral throughout the state. Good grain crops
will be made in this part of Texas but in the
southern part of the state, without any more
rain, the crop will be very heavy.
The wheat crop in Callahan county is much
better than was expected while corn and cotton
is splendid.
Van Zandt is out on fruit this season, and it
has been usually the best crop.
The present continued dry weather is likely to
prove disastrous to the crops OF Cooke county.
Rain is the pressing need OF the hour.
The heavy rains lately in Gonzales county
have insured good corn crop in this vicinity.
Cotton crops generally looking very well.
The crop prospects in Titus county are very
hattering just now; cotton generally in fine
shape.
FLOYD. HUNT COUNTY, TEX, June 18.--Har-
vest is in full blast. Wheat will hardly pay ez-
penses, as the crop is very light. Oats will
never looked finer. We Will have plenty OF hog
and hominy next wear. Cotton is little late,
but it is all cleaned out nicely, and is growing
very fast.

are good from all over the county. Watermel-
ons and roasting ears are now old IN the market.

full rains just in time to restore hope in the
hearts of our farmers. Oats are being harvested
and the yield is satisfactory. This product Will
cause the importation OF corn to cease.
NAcoGDocHEs, Tx, June 13.-Crops are
good, particularly in the red lands. An average
corn crop is assured, and the cotton is coming
out wonderfully. We have no fruit at all this
year, owing TO the late freeze.
Plano, TEX, June 13.-The crops around
here are beginning to need rain. Good rains
are reported from points all over the state, but
it seems 10 have left this place out in the dry.

the dry weather, both corn and cotton look fine.
WICHITA FALLS, Tex, June L.. The first
wagon load OF June peaches made It's appearance
on the streets to day. They were raised few
miles from Wichita Falls. They are Of fine
flavor, good size and sold readily for 81 per
bushel Vegetables in large quantities are be-
ing shipped from here daily to Denver and other
cities in Colorado. The liberal policy of the
great Panhandle route is doing much for the
development of Northwest Texas.
QUANAH, Tex, June IA harvest is under
full Roadway here. and the crops will prove the

benefit to our county fell here this morning.
GONZALES, TEX, June 13.-We have been hav-
ing rain regularly every week for the last
month-have had too much for the good of the
farmers. Many farms have been in the weeds
and grass all spring, lyet the crop prospect is
good. If the crops can be properly worked from
now on, they will make fine cotton and corn
the best in Southwest Texas. All that we need
to make good crops here is work at the proper
time and moderate seasons.
MESQUITE, TEX, June IA fine shower fell
here to-day, and crops Of all kinds are looking
nicely.

peaches of the season were brought to this

from his ranch in Montague. He reports crop
prospects in Clay and Montague counties
usually fine, and says that copious rains have
recently visited that section. Crops are consid-
erably behind in this county and are reported to
be suffering from want of rain.
MAR1ENFELp, TEX, June i2.-The cloud that
was only as large as man hand has appeared
on this part of the Staked Plains. For six long
months the CLOUDS have refused to give us rains
and many began to think that drought was at
hand. But rains have been plentiful and along
the Texas Pacific the cry goes up, that grand,
fine rain.'' The fruits and vines planted are
doing very well; older vines are loaded with
fruits. Soon the wine press will be at work,
when the rich juices will be made palatable.
We have the best grape country in the United
States. This is the home of the California
grapes, Two-year-old vines can be seen loaded
with grapes twelve to fifteen inches long.
Everybody is making preparations to raise
garden truck by irrigation, which Is sue
cess, so that the Staked Plains will soon be the
home for the gardener. The Marienfeld gar
dening company have planted 200 catalpata and
200 Lombard poplar. Thelr loss was only four.
