FIRST CROP REPORT.

The News prints the first Of its
1899 series Of crop reports, cover.
ing the acreage and condition >of
the cotton crop. The review is
made up from Az reports, covering
1913 Texas counties and Is points
in the territories. The report
shows a reduction in the cotton
acreage Of 10 per cent compared
with the acreage Of last year. The
greatest reduction has been in the
coast district, where the acreage
has been decreased II per cent.
The condition Of the cotton crop is
generally excellent. Reports Of
good stands, healthy and thrifty
plants are the rule from all sections.
The crop is a little late. There has
been an increase in all other pro-
ducts at the general expense Of cot.
ton. Corn shows an average in.
crease Of 8 per cent for the state.
The greatest increase in corn is in
the coast district, IA per cent.
Wheat shows an increase Of 10 per
cent for the state. The greatest

presented Of the enormus strides
madein the diversifcation Of crops.

fully said that Texas raised moth.
ing but cotton and cattle. To-day

The difference of cost between a

Royal Baking Powder may cost a little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
