the cotton crop The warm weather has
been favorable for late cotton, but the
cool nights have continued to check its
growth to some extent. and the CORE
spondent at Beeyillc, in Southwest Texas,
states that there will be but small top
crop gathered in that locality. and the
correspon lent at Collinsyille states thai
many farmers are now pasturing their har-
vested cotton fields while In some few
localities 1t is reported that the top crop
Is stilI growing, and the correspondent at
Aurora states that frost would ruin a
good chance for cotton that would make in
two or three weeks from now.
Wheat sowing has been retarded. but the
ground is in excellent condition, and with
favorable weather sowing will soon be
completed. Early soWn wheat is up and
growing nicely, and the rains have in
sured good stand of late sown wheat. 4
