University, Miss., May 7, 1892. Keports show a considerable improve ment in the prospects of all crops, due to favorable weather. There has been very little rainfall—only local showers in a few sections. The temperature has beee aboyc normal, and sunshine general ly abundant. In the northern parts of the State fine progress has been made in planting late crops and cultivating early corn. In the southern section moisture in the ground has {delayed cultivation of corn and cotton, and prompted the growth of grass and weeds, The stand of cotton is reported as generally good in the south, and it is germinating well in the north, where it will bo helped by lo cal rains that have fallen during the last days of the week. Corn has not general ly made so good a start, having been un favorably affected by cool wet weather a few weeks ago. The oat crop is excel lent over the State. The season has been quite favorable for both native and culti vated grasses grown for hay. Unusually large attention is being given to the culti vation of potatoes,'peas, and {other food crops. The season, while late, has been favorable to these. In the Delta section there has been a a large decrease In the acreage of cotton planted, and a larger increase In the corn crop. The prospects for both have im proved this week very considerably. Special items reported from different sections: Flora—The past four days have been the best for farm work this season, and much planting and farm work have been accomplished. The ground is stiff and hard. Greenville— Cotton and corn crops are doing well. Stands arc good in this sec tion. The high stage of the river is the only cause of alarm. Valden—Fanning operation have been pushed with vigor, Stands of cotton good, of corn not good. I’earlington—Owing to complete satu ration of the ground, the cloudy weather and showers, the grass has covered what was left of the corn and potatoes. Liberty—The grass in corn and cotton very thick, giving much trouble. Fayette—Westher favorable for farm work. Corn not all worked out. Cotton being chapyed out. Some cotton yet to plant. Corn looks well. Lamar—Crops very nearly all planted, and coming np nicely. The past few days have been veiy beneficial.
