CONDITION OF CROPS.
The weather during the greater portion
OF the week was exceptionally beneficial
to cotton and caused the bolls 20 open
very rapidly. Picking was rushed gener-
ally throughout the state and all gins
kept busy. Boil worms are not as numer-
Gus as at last report, but continue work
ing on late cotton in some localities
Cotton in some sections has been damaged
considerably by these worms. but os q
general rule very few correspondents stat
that they will damage the crop to any
great extent. and some state that since
the dry weather commenced the boil
worms are disappearing IN their respective
localities. The top crop is doing very
well except in few localities. where it
is not growing off as nice,y as expected.
The showery and threatening weather at

Is desired. Cotton as a general rule Is
doing very well and good Yield Is ex-
peeted throughout the greater portion Of
the state.
Some maize vas gathered during the
past week and the yield was very good.
