The RAIN seems to have been gener-
al and beneficial to all the fall crops.
but the subsequent cold weather is
hard OH cotton. Whenever the ther-
mometer goes below go at night and
does not rise above 20 in the day
cotton makes no progress toward ma

sunshine and heat are two essentials
for its development. have seen half
to tWo-thirds grown bolls remain at
a standstill or thirty days before frost.
when the thermometer ranged from
80 to 20
In some portions Of this county,
where the sharpshooters did not get
in their work Of destruction, there
IS 9 considerable top crop and if we
nave sufficient warm weather to ma
ture these forms these crops will be
bette.' than they promised two weeks
ago. 1t is to be hoped that the wealth
er will be proDitious and mature all
stances as much cotton will be made,
in this county, as last year. but if
the season from now on is unfayor-
able for maturing cotton the yield will
be 10 per cent less than last year.
In many places threefourths of the
cotton is open but picking is very
slow. This is attributed to sickness.
corn harvesting and various other
causes but ! attribute it to entirely
different causes.
The crop has been an expensive one
to make. from the fact that forage
(nearly all of which had to be bought)
and provisions of all kinds cost so
per cent more than ordinarily. The
share laborers and renters of small
parcels of land realize this and see
little or nothing left for them after
rent and supply bills are paid, conse-
quently are ready with all sorts OF
excuses for not gathering the CROP.
The truth is they do not intend to-
gather the crop usless pad to-
do SO. and the sooner merchants and
farmers working share hands realize
this condition and take proper steps
to correct it the better it will be for all
concerned.
Corn is being gathered and the yield
is somewhat disappointing, but enough
has been raised to supply local de-
mands CT farmers until another crop
is raised
Fall gardens promise we'll and the.
local market will be abundantly sup
piled with sweet potatoes, turnips and
many other delicacies.
