COTTON.
This important crop j? not yet in a
condition upon winch to predicate any
estimate as to yield. The planting,
however, is from te 1 to 30 days late.
There is a reduction, in round numbers,
of 100,000 tous of guano in this state
alone compared to last year. Tho fall
ing off in acreage, compared to last
year, is fully 20 p-r cent. These facts,
holding good in a greater or less degree
in all the cotton states east of the
Mississippi river, warrant the conclu
sion that we may expect at least only a
moderate Crop of cotton this year, and
cons-, qneutly the farmers may hope for
better prices than they received for the
last crop.

farmer with a good crop. It must be
well cultivated from the start, or ft

OATS.
Little that is favorable can be said of
this important grain, which is of so
much value as a food crop for stock.
Tho severe cold of tiie past winter to
tally destroyed two plantings of the
crop, an i the latonass of the season,
with ilie difficulty of obtaining soad,
deterred a great many from planting
the third time. Those that did plant
have a good stand an 1 the o op is look
ing well, though a heavy yield etui
scare dy be expected from such late
p ant n{. "’ho reported uvo.age de
crease-in tho acreage is 311 per cent.
WHEAT.
Wheat ia planted only in the nppsr
portion of the state, and the acreage is
rcpoi ted at 4 i>cr cent less than last
year. While the crop was injured by
thf severe ( >!d of the past winter, it
was not destroyed, us was the oat crop,

• SUGAR oanr.
Inhere is a slight decrease in the aers
ageof this crop, compared with last
. ytfar, cansad no doubt by much of the
seed cane being killed by the cold. The
crop is up, with fair stands aud grow
ing well.
RICE.
There is a falling off of 4 per cent tn
the acreage of lowland rice. Tliero are
noreports on upland rice; thongh, ir.im
the large nntnbw of inquirie* received
by this departm int as to the best nielli

no doubt the acreage lias beeu largely
increased.
