SHORTEST CROP IN TEXAs.


Cameron, Texas, September 3.--Be,ng a
subscriber TO The Post and noticing a
great many reports from different parts
of the State IN regard to the cotton crop
of Texas for 1896. / beg space to say that
| have made five crops. in this State, and
realz.ug about 400 bales from the five
crops. At the same time / have watched
the cotton crop for the past ten years in
Texas. | feel perfectly safe in saying
that this viii be by far the shortest crop
both of cotton and corn that Texas has
made fer the past ten years. | live on
Pond creek, IN Milan county considered
one amolg the best cotton grow.ag dis
trcts in this State.
| have Just returned from Bell and Falls
counties and had a splendid chance to
see and examine the crops, which | con-
slider hardly third of a crop for both
Bell and Falls counties. In Milan, my
homo county, there viii not be half of ..
crop. Parts of Robertson county will
make nothing at oil and the Brazos bot
tom. the delta of Robertson county, fully
yield a bale to three or four acres and
not over. From n ba,e to three fourths
per acre is and always has been claimed
by the hest farmers and at one time my
neighhors on the land on the land have
mentioned, and | can not SEQ why there
are such encourag ng reports given from
this State as some of our commission
merchants OF Galveston and other cities
are giving.
In converse lion not long since with Mr..
J." w. Carr, one of the largest md most
prominent cotton nisers of this state.
ana, by the way. citizen of fIearne
TeXas q great cotton region | was fully
convinced that that gentleman was the
hest authority on the crops Of the Brazos
bottom. ana he said nothing that was
favorable to the CROPS nov an his lartre
