KAUFMAN COUNTY.

Kaufman.-The drouth is burning cotton
up. Rain now would help young cotton,
but old cotton Is too far gone to help. The
yield will be one-half as much as in 1898.
Cotton was doing well until August, when
the hot winds struck il, and in places
completely killed it, on August is we had
a good rain which scalded the cotton and
in places it died.
FOrney. drouth is running the crop;
estimated enthusiastically, three iacres may
make a bale; rain would be disadyanta-
geous; could do the crop no good, its doom
is fixed at a short crop. II is generally
estimated by the best OF farmers that the
yield in country tributary 10 this point
of say ten miles circumference will be
81 ID per cent less than last year. This
Is a very fine cotton belt, usually yielding
from one-halt 10 one bale per acre.
Verrell.-The present dry weather l.

is badly in need OF rain. The yield is
considered alread cut short Rain at
present would help very much, but there
is not hardly enough vitality ID the stalk
TO enable it to entirely recuperate for a
fun crop. In this immediate locality the
Insects have done no damage of conse-
quence. The country tributary will hard
ly reach the figure of last year, but the
gin competition may bring cotton from
other quarters and thus bring up the re-
celpts to nearly the same point, provided
rain is secured in few days,
Eimo--From present indications the out
look for cotton is as favorable as it was
this time last year.
Forney. Dry weather has damaged the
cotton crop badly. Usual cotton shipped
from this place has been 1000 TO 1000
bales this year does not promise over
5000 or 1000.
kaufman.-This county will produce
about 40 per cent fewer bales of cotton
than last year; last year $4,000 bales.

Jasper.--!The dry. hot weather caused

nlant and It is now growing and taking
on hollis nicely. The yield will be about
same as last year in number OF bales
Cotton opening fast and considerable

Kirbyville--The cotton crop throughout
this section of country Is damaged by the
extr, me DR. hot weather to an alarming
extent in fact, 1t is being literally burned
I'M; the damage assessed by good major
itv Of tie farmers is estimated now at 90
per cent OF the entire crop. Rain would
do no good now unless the weed should
take on a top crop, which rarely ever ma
lures in this section. There has been a
small crop of worms, which damaged the
crop somewhat; but there is nothing Tor
them to subsist on now, but dry, tough
leaves. The number of bales will Vlll far
short of that of last seasons crop Taking
all in all the cotton crop here Is cut
quite short.
Jasper.-The condition of crops in this
section shows decrease from last year OF
90 to 80 per cent. Cotton was fine to about
June 10, when 1t began to fail from the dry
weather,
observation-disclosures in yield of cotton
in this section on account of hot, dry

san Marcos.-The hot and dry weather is
having a very damaging effect on the
crop. A rain within the next ten DAYS
would help the old cotton a very little,
but would be very beneficial to the new.
Some insects hut they are not doing any
great amount of damage. II is a very hard
matter TO estimate the crop now as com

seems to be that the crop will be some

callties. 1t is estimated that the yield Will
not be so good as .hal of last year by at
least fifth. The indications, taking the
entire county, are that the yield will be
about one fourth OF a bale TO the acre.
Abbott.-The hot. dry weather has al
most ruined the cotton crop. hundreds
of stalks have absolutely nothing at all
on them There is difference OF opinion
among farmers as to whether rain viii

Kenedy-Cotton cut short one-third

make some top crop, but would ruin the
staple of all open now Yield will be one
third or half less than last year oil
account Of so much less being planted. A
good rain is needed badly for health, and
to mature the half-grown bolls now on
cotton and for fall gardening. also for

Runge.-The dry, hot weather has dam
aged the cotton, making the prospect one
fourth less than 1t was a month ago. Rain
would be beneficial. The yield, it is
thought, will be fully as great as last
year.
Karnos Clty.-Rain would now do great
damage, as the dry weather mas forced
the entire crop open; it would, however,
give a second growth or top crop; the
yield will probably be onehaf of last
year, not taking top crop into consid-
Grafton.

HENDERSON COUNTY,.

Athens.--Tbe dry. hot weather has
caused cotton 10 shed at least 40 per cent
and is still shedding badly. Rain will
do no harm and no good. 1t Is reported
that the tops have been killed Twelve
thousand bales were marketed here last
year. 5000 bales will be a good estimate
for this year,
Athens The cotton crop has been Sc
riously damaged in this section by the
drouth which followed the heavy rains
with the hot winds causing the fruit TO
shed on. Crops that promised to make |
bale TO the acre five weeks ago will not
make bale to 6 acres now, everything
aaying shed off except few grown bolis
which are about all opened.
Brownsboro. The yield of cotton this
year will be 10 per cent shorter than last
year owing TO the hot and dry weather
since August l.
Maiakoif.-Recent showers have fallen
throughout this section. but conservative
farmers say il is too late for cotton to be
materially benefited thereby. The drouth
has got In its deadly work to the extent
that the average estimate OF deterioration
is not less than 40 per cent. which would
bring the receipts OF this market under
5000 bales, against over 1900 bales last
season

LEON COUNTY.

Buffalo-Dry. hot weather is running
the crop of cotton. Rain at this stage
in the season would not do the crop any
good except in case of an exceedingly late
fall coupled with favorable weather. On
what is considered a conservative estimate
this years crop will reach 60 per cent
of last years. Experienced farmers at
tribute the shortage in the crop to the
excessive rains followed by the excessively
hot weather, as the plant was very prom
Using until the extreme hot weather came
Immediately after rains had ceased
Marquez.-The dry. hot weather of the
past thirty days has cut off the yield OF
cotton one-third to one half, nearer the lat
ter Representative farmers say that rair
now would do cotton no good, but rather
the reverse; would not increase the yield
any, and lower the grade of the STAPLE
now open. Cotton opening rapidly ant
picking progressing satisfactorily. Some
few farmers have reported sharpshooters
and boil weevil, but the drouth has done
the damage. The shipments from this
place at best will be 1000 bales less than
last season
Centervllle.-The drouth has cut the cot
ton crop short 80 per cent and rain would
do no good save for the top crop; the yield
will not be more than half that of last
yea.
Jewett.-The hot. dry weather has made
the old cotton shed about one-third OF
more of its fruit. and is damaging the
young cotton. Rain will do very little
good, except to young cotton. which con-
stitutes small per cent of the crop. There
are very few insects, and they have done
little damage. The cron this year will be
fully one-fourth short of last year. The
top crop does not amount to much, and
unless good rain comes soon there will be
none.
