COTTON CROP REPORT.

Speaking generally of the Texas
crop and more particularly of cen.
tral and north Texas, the actual re-
suits OF the season are uncertain.
Warm, bright weather, wi. h
enough rain to admit of surface
cultivation, and the absence of
further destruction by the boil
weevil and other pests, would al
most insure a splendid crop in ey.
cry section Of the state. The crop
generally is advancing rapidly and
the plant Is in healthy condition,
but in all cases the correspondents
report il from two to four weeks
late. North Texas is troubled not
with weeyils aud other insects, but
with much grass and weeds. Cen
trail Texas has both grass and wee
wills with other insects. There the
boil weevils are doing great dam
age in fields near timber, and
though prairie fields have. many OF
them, escaped, the pest is making
it's APPEARANCE in large numbers.
The REPORTS are spotted, the plants
being smSll and with poor stands
in some counties and healthy with
even stagSas in others. East Texas,
though showing decrease in
9ssreage, reports hattering pros-l
poets. Southwest Texas reports
weevils and many poor stands, but
with improving conditions. Coast
country cotton is also reported do
ing well at the present time
