TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

a good top crop of cotton is reported
IN Wise county.
In Colorado county the bulk of the
cotton has been gathered, and the re-
suits are much better than was expected
when picking began. Much of the corn
is yet in the field.
A Gihb;own item in the Jacksboro Ga
zette says: The last vestige of the cot =
tn crop Is being rapidly gathered and
marketed. The yield has been be tier
than as expected. With a fair average
cotton crop, corn enough for home con-
sumption and plenty of hogs for pork,
any people are necessarily independent.
Hays county cotton is almost oil gath
cred, by reason OF the late fair weather.
The Willis correspondent OF the Austin
County Times saws: We have had some
very bad eaiher, retarding the gather
ing of crops, but for the last few days we
have had as good weather as any one
could war;, aud farmers have gath
cred little over half of their cotton.
Our cotton crop is the largest raised in
FIVE or SIX years, in fact the largest
since 1882. Our corn is little short.
In Eastlanu county the corn crop is
EOoi, and though only small nrreaRe
WAS put in, there is plenty aud TO spare.
but there Is not the room for reckless
feeding that there was last year.
Cotton picking and sorghum cutting is
To" order Of the day, says the Coleman
Voice. Cotton is averaging about half
bale 10 the acre. Sorghum, mllet, pO-
tatous and vegetables generally have done
well. heat ana rye look well-not so
much wheat sowu as last year. More
oats will be sown during the fall AMI
spring The range is fine, stock fat aud
healthy ana will go through the winter
with but little feed extra OF the pastures.
The Throckmorton Times has the fol-
lowing: The acreage of wheat in this
county for next year will be at least 500
per cent. greater than ever before.
When men can raise from twenty TO
thirty bushels of wheat TO the acre Is it
any wonder they sowr one crop OF
wheat IN ThrockmortOn county produced
thirtT-six measured bushels of wheat to
the acre and many have reached thirty.
These are facts that stand out to the
world as proof positive that Throck NOR
ton county is u wheat growing country,
Hs well IA one Of the best general farm
ing counties in the state.
