IN the steerage, which WAS very uncom-
Portable. The day before landing they

The cotton crop is turling out much
better than it was thought it would do
a month ago, any only less than half
bale to the acre yield is now considered
very poor. 1t was thought month or
80 ago that the late cotton would do al
most nothing, but prairie farmer was
heard to say few days ago that he
had tenant on his place who got into
some trouble and was sent to Jail late
in June and his crop suffered for want
of work. By the time the farmer could
/ get to it he thought it was not worth
saving, so had all but four acres Of the
, cotton plowed up and planted in corn.
, After the rains commenced the cotton
| began to grow and put on fruit, and he
, will gather half bale to the acre.
