TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

The most of Parker county cotton viii
be gathered soon.
great deal OF new land in Burnet
county Is being broken this fall. The
bulk of the cotton is out and the pecan
crop is heavy.
The cotton crop in Grayson county
VIII average over one-half- OF q
bale to the acre.
Shelby county cotton was badly dam
aged by recent rains, much OF the open
crop being beaten into the ground.
Cotton pickers are still in great de-
mand in Wharton county. Cotton ia
| good.
Cotton is nearly all marketed in Bur-
Lesson county and is better than was
thought. Corn Is being harvested and is
rather short.
The fall crops in Mitchell county are
extra good and fine crop of sorghum
Will be obtained.
Rain has delayed harvesting in Cald-
well county. Corn is short, but cotton
Is yielding far beyond the estimate of
month ago.
The Temple Saturday Sun says: So far
this season business has been rather dull.
Ihls was owing to several causes, among
them the greatly increased facilities and
IN" larger number of firms among which
the trade has been divided, and also the
hne weather Tor picking cotton. No cot
ton pickers could be obtained, and hence
every family has gone to the fields and
done the work themselves, while the ones
who marketed the cotton have come in
and sold and left for home in q rush to
try and keep things going. The conse-
quence Is that the crops are now nearly
gathered and the money Is all at home.
BEEvILLE. Oct. 20.-The weather with
us this fall has been very favorable to
gather crops, just rain enough to MIXTURE
cotton and no storms or heavy rains to
destroy It. In fact, the weather during
the entire year has bsen all that we could
reasonably ask. Permit me TO refer to
n visit to the farm of r. f. Mutt, eight
miles from BeeVille, d few days ago.
The farm contains 500 acres, PA of which
is in cotton and the remainder in corn.
Of the cotton over one half bale TO the
acre has already been marketed, and |
should frost not come until the usual |
time the PA acres Ia good for 200 bales of |
cotton. Some portions of the farm will |
yield over one bale to the acre. The |
bushels to the acre, the land having |
nearly oil been cultivated by renters and
some of it very poorly.
