Washington, September 10.—The Departmentof Agriculture reports the condition of cotton on the 1st of Sep tember lower than on August 1st by reason of the drouth, which has been severest in Texas, yet felt in every State East and North, to North Caro lina. The apprehension that the too succulent early growth would wilt under a high temperature and absence of rain has been realized. Ijocal areas on the Atlantic coast appear to have had suflieient moisture, at a few points too much on low lands. The eflbct of these meteorological chances has been a wide prevalence of rust and shedding of leaves and young bolls. In light soils fruiting will be hastened, the top bolls already form ing. In those of greater moisture e. strong weed and with deferred frosts a good crop may be made. There are a few losses by the cater pillar. When it has appeared it was promptly met by poisonous applica tions. As a rule the boll worm has been more abundant than usual and has not had treatment sufliciently prompt. The average condition of the whole field, which was 87 in the preceding report, is reduced to 82,'a, though Texas is the only State below that average. The only years of the preceding ten having lower averages in September were 1874, three and a half points lower: 1881, when the average was only 70, ami last year when it was 74. The weather of the next three months may modify for better or worse the actual result of the harvest. The State averages are: Virginia, 89; North Carolina, 90; South Carolina, 87; Georgia, 86; Florida, 88; Alabama, 84; Mississippi, 83; Louisiana, 84; Texas, 72; Arkan sas, 83; Tennessee, 00. Pea-Vines for Fertilizing. Mr. A. W. Lei and, of McLcllan- villc, S. C., writes for The Southern Cultivator In its September number us follows: The inquiry of “New Subscriber,” Leesburg, Ga., relative to home-made manures and restoring worn-out land, suggests a thought, and I will give your readers the benefit of it. This question confronts every farmer o! the South to-day who owns upland. Cotton seed and animal manures arc excellent as far as they go, but with the average farmer that is not very far. Now, the one word that answers this whole question is pea-vines. How tfr Texa>. Cotton. The Galveston News publishes the crop reports showing the prospective | cotton out-turn for the year 1881’85. ; It says: In some few sections of the i .State, but the sections are limited, : the prospect is averaging fair, yet j taken as a whole, the outlook is far ! from fiattering. The cotton acreage is | ; estimated at from 10 to 15 per cent, in- i crease, but the general condition at ' ^^7" this time is perhaps 20 per cent, •worse i than it was last year. The recent ruins have come too Sate to be much advantage. It is possible, with a very late fail and extremely favorable con ditions from now on, some cotton may be benefitted thereform, but the great hulk of the crop is cut short. The in dications point to a shorter crop in 188-1 ’85 than that of the year just closed. A good estimate would strike somewhere between a million and eleven hundred thousand bales. J.L Bowles & Co. 7"E keep the the money. Best Furniture for TfE keep all the NOVELTIES. E keep all the latest STYLES. Reports from various section of the United States say that the apple crop this year will be a good one in quality and an average one in quantity. Under the old common law twenty years’ possession of real estate, with out title, vested the fee simple title in the occupant. The Republican party has gotten hold of this thing, in a dazed sort of way, and really thinks it owns the Government. Coming events will destroy this illusion. utilized? V’e a l i k ,i) >t" 1 bo so\vu"bn stubble after small grain, and in corn at laying by; but what about the large area devoted to cotton 7 Now to the point: Where cotton does not run too much to weed by having the rows wide enough, I think wo can plant peas at the last plowing of it, too; by dropping peas on the edge « f first sweep-furrow and return cover ing with last furrow. They will come up near the middle, and thus get the sunshine. By fertilizing lightly with land-plaster or ash element, they will grow ofT quickly and thus produce enough manure for a fair crop of corn the succeeding year. My experiments with pea-vines as manure for corn, oats and potatoes has been highly satisfactory. Herein lies the redemption of our worn-out lands. What say you, brother farm ers? If there are any who have never tried the cow-pea as manure, let them not put it off any longer; but buy a few bushels of seed and manufacture a few tons of manure at home, that they will not have to give their note for, payable at the end of the year. First Make a Living. The Texas Farmer hits it square ly when it asserts that in growing crops the leading and first purpose should be to make a living. This should be the first object in all pur suits. A man must first make a liv ing before lie can make extra money, hence it is a point of the utmost im portance for farmers to grow their family supplies without having to buy them. If he raises nearly everything needed for home consumption he is independent, and with a variety of small crops be is absolutely protected against a total failure. The farmer whose first object is to make a living on bis farm, works for himself and family, while the all-cotton man works for speculators ami gamblers, ami they always beat him. Banks may fail, stocks may vanish into thin air and panics may bring desolation and ruin to the merchant, mechanic and speculator, but the farmer who farms for a living is safe. He has no debts, no mortgages to disturb his rest. His food is at home, Ids barns are store-house. The man who farms for a living works by the rule of good common sense; the farmer who tries to make money before he makes a liv ing works by the rule of some other kind of sense. A little common sense mixed with ordinary industry will make farmers the most prosperous and happy people in the State. Farmers have worked long enough for specula ting Shylocks; let them turn their at tention to. home, wife, children and country. Ail agree that the late “Indepen dent” Convention in Columbia was tho sorriest lot of political hacks over got together. Even the Republican negroes make sport of them. -ESTABLISHED 1850.- GE0. A.
