 least thirty acres to one were planted.

 days ago, and have injured the crop as much as the good weather im-

 Injury, at least three-tenths. The crop is in a critical condition. 



Dallas County, Tex. — A promise of the largest crop ever raised in 

 the county.

 duce two thousand this year. A large proportion of the cotton product 

 goes to Mexico.
