THE CROPS.
The hot dry weather with the high
south wind during the first five DAYS
OF the week was generally unfavora-
Bile to cotton picking. The top crop
is reported seriously injured, many
of the bolls drying up and dropping
from the stem. The crop il report

southern section, and i'm this sec
tion the crop is most injured. IL is
not thought that the cold spell M
the close OF the week will materially
effect the yield either for better or
worse, but il anything for the bet
ter.
The ground everywhere with the
exception of portions OF the eastern
section is very dry, pastures driving
up and stock water low.
Some blowing for wheat still rt-
mains TO be done, but generally this
work is about completed, and farm-
ers are waiting for rain to put the
ground in condition for fall crops.
Late broom corn is about all har-
vested. This is the first season that
broom corn was generally cultivated.
The experiment has been success.

The harvesting OF cahir corn has
begun, the crop is excellent.
The hot dry weather dried up
corn fodder so rapidly that much of
it became worthless for feed before
it could be saved.
Reports from the Chickasaw Ma
tion state that apples are small their
growth stopped and the crop much
injured by the hot dry weather dur
ing the past three weeks.
