SUMMARY BY COUNTIES.

This is the totel acreage III the STATE
but 1t must not be taken as the effective
acreage upon which estimates can he
made Thus the 10000 acres on Taylor and
Hillebrandt bayous in Jefferson county will
not average over half n crop. The new
well plants around FL Campo viii not aver
age much over half crop, while those
al Louise will average on the whole less
than half a crop. In Harris county there
are many plants that are thirsting for Il
drink of water while / am assured that
this is true Of many OF the well plants in
Jefferson county.
n I should make conservative estimate
Of the rice crop Of Texas for this season
should average the whole acreage at
eight sacks, with a probable yield Of 1,45o,-
OO0 sacks.
The above summary by counties differs
in some respects from an estimate made
by me about two weeks ago In regard "a
Harris, liberty and Cameron counties. In
regard to the two former counties,
classed the plants near Stilson in the for
mer report in Harris county, when they
should have been in Liberty county. A
telegram from Mr., Radcliffe from Browns
willie gives the actual acreage in Cameron
county as 5000 instead OF my former est
mate. u, Y IaylofS
