The Texas Report.

Following is the report of the
Texas section of the climate and
crop service for the week ending
October 9, 1905:
The weather during the past
week was generally moderately
warm, but became slightly cooler
toward the end. The nights were
generally moderately cool, Over
much of the State no rain at all
occurred, or the rainfall was very
light, but during the early patti of
the week scattered local showers
occurred, some of which were
heavy. The heavier rains occurred
mainly in the western part of the
central portion of the State.
Where the good rains fell vegeta-
ton was revived considerably,
though more rain is needed in
those sections, but over the rest of
the State vegetation is suffering
greatly for rain.
Rice and Sugar ane.-Crops
are generally good, though in some
localities sugar cane is poor on
account Of dry weather. Rice
harvesting and threshing have
been carried on under generally
favorable conditions.
Miscellaneous. -Harvesting corn
continues where the time can be
spared from cotton picking. Plow-
ing and seeding winter grain have
been carried on where sufficient
rainfall occurred, but over most of
the State the weather has been too
dry and the soil too hard for this
kind of work. In some localities
grain which has been seeded fails
to terminate properly on account
of dry weather. Planting fall
gardens has been carried on in the
coast district where there was
sufficient rain, but this work mas
been retarded. Forage crops and
potatoes suffered from dry weather.
The growth OF grass has been
revived and the supply of stock
water replenished where good
showers fell, out in many localities
grass is dying and stock water is
scarce. Stock is generally in good
condition, but is deteriorating in
localities. Houston Post.
