Very little cotton has been planted in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, but planting is be- i coming general over tho southern I portion of the eastern districts ? and in Toxas, where gem.inntion ha* heen satisfactory. Prepare 1 tions for planting arc unusually t backward in the lowlands of Louisiana and Arkansas. In the central valleys and mid Me (inlf ^taje the outlook for peaches is poor, and tho frosts of tho 7th and Sth have lessoned the prospects in the south Atlantic States and in the southern portion of the middle Atlantic States, Farther north, to the eastward of 'J the Mississippi river, peach huds 1 have not been sufficiently advanced to sustain serious injury. For * most of the other fruits tho pros- yects are encouraging. c ISotico to the Public. 1 will hold all inquests in the N county. Phono to my residence 1 at Pleasant Hill for mo when needed. c .!
