NO SECOND CROP.
A Texan on the Brazos Cotton Out
look

Washington, July 10.-'T notice that
some press accounts OF the Texas flood
in the Brazos country, seeking to mini
mize the stupendOus losses that the
freshets have caused, fall into an eyre
gious error said H. c. McSpadden Of
Bolton, Texas, last evening.
These accounts refer to the posi-
bility of planting another crop to take
the place of the one washed away and
say there is plenty of time between this
and January, 1900, to make another crop
of cotton. This is nonsense, as every
one who knows anything about agricul-
tural matters will agree. The fact is
that jack frost would nip a second
planting long before the time of matur-
ity, even in a region where the seasons
are as long as in southern Texas. The
cotton plantations that have been
ruined on the BFazos cannot be expect
ed to produce more than the fragment
of a crop this year, but in the rest OF
the state the yield will be as usual"
