GRAHAM, May 2S.-Ground was too wet
to plow the first of the week in the Farmer
neighborhOod, also on the Cedar, south of
us, but generally work has steadily
progressed during the week, and crops are
generally in good condition. Crops are
three weeks late, except cotton. Some
Years we make good cotton here when it
doesn't come up till June. Now most of
the cotton is chopped TO stand. Harvest
ing is going on in earnest this week Most of
the May wheat is ripe and some of the
Mediterranean-bothe excellent. The worst
average crop this year is oats, ranging from
first class on some farms through all grada-
tions down to a failure, plOwed up, on other
farms. Weather too cool these mornings
for cotton to grow much. mercury reaching
as low as 30 deg. this morning, but there is
no danger of corn burning UP as long as
the temperature stays anywhere near what
it mas been, while such crops as Irish pota-
toes will be splendid. The country along
the Brazos, in Young county, about the
mouth of Clear Fork, is q great corn gran
arv for Stephens. ThrOckmorton and other
counties. 1t may be because we have good
farmers, while they are more pastural.
GRoEsBECK, May 30-A new cotton wharf
is under course of construction We are
preparing for 4 large cotton crop this year,
though at present we are needing rain.
