Bulletins From All The States Some Information That is o] Special Interest to the Farmers of South Carolina. Cotton is in n fairly satisfactory condition in nearly every portioi of the belt, and the reports of insect ravages, grassy fields, and injury from drought or excessive rains are less numerous than usual at this season of the year. In Njorth Carolina planting i> nearly completed and chopping about finished, with the weather conditions favorable for the growth of the plant. In South Carolina tire cool weather was unfavorable for cotton, which is making slow growth, and in a few localities is infested by lice. Late plantings not up. Sea island cotton has good stands. In Georgia cotton has beer damaged somewhat by worms, and the nights were a little tor cool, but with anything liko a favorable season cotton will givt a good yield. In Florida the greater portion of the State was visited by refreshing showers, which greatly improved cotton. In Alabama cotton was tnucl benefited by the rains, and, al though it is still small, and itt growth was somewhat checked by the cool nights, it is clean and well cultivated and looks promising. In Mississippi the nights wer< too cool in most sections for th< satisfactory growth of cotton. Some cottou is being plowed ant looks fair; late cotton is very unsatisfactory and much replanting has boon done. The stand foi early planted has been variously reported but in the main it i? good. In Louisiana, cotton that wa> planted while there was yet moisture enough in the ground tr germinate the seed, is of a healthy color and the fields are free fron grass and weeds. The recenl copious rains will undoubtedly greatly improve the condition ol late planted cotton, and cause seeds that lay dormant to coiih up. In Texas cotton has made goot growth and is in an excellent stat< of cultivation, except in soiik localities over the northern por tion of the State, where the ground has been too wet foi projter cultivation and tho crop i: very foul. Planting continues t< some extent over the northerr portion, while over the uoutherr portion tho plant is well advancet and forming squares. In Arkansas heavy rains in th< early part of the week greatly retarded farming operations.
