THE SEASON, CHOPS, PRICES, ETC 
Hnn Antonio, Texas, May 2 *.—i se nd you by 
this mail an ear of green corn from this S. W. 
corner of our Civilization. An ear of cmrn Is 
not much in itself, hot like the olive-branch 
the dove brought to the ark, it proves an im¬ 
portant fact; and Ibis cur is rather a poor 
sample of a thirty-acre field; our market has 
been abundantly supplied for two weeks past, 
but It did not occur to me to send you one 
before. Not all the fields of Western Texas are 
in roasting car, but they are all in silk and 
tassel. And even now as 1 write the generous 
rains are gently failing up m tie, and our or >ps 
are as good as made. Our wheat, oats, rye. and 
barley, are all harvested and have turned out a 
very fair average. Our grape-vines arc laden 
w illi large dusters ; apples and pears are more 
than half grown, and early peaches will be ripe 
in ton to (1 ftoon days. We seem to be prosper¬ 
ing in many ways; the importations nTShort- 
Horns, Angoru goats, and blooded sheep, are 
all doing well; the country is settling rapidly, 
and nil new-comers express their delight at nur 
healthful country, mild climate, and rich soli. 
Our agriculture is advancing, und more inquiry 
la being made about labor-saving machinery. 
By the way, let me say to your friends who 
manufacture such implements that our Agri¬ 
cultural Association will hold the.largest Fair 
ever held in Hie State, on the 20th of October 
next; that they are one and all invited to send 
specitnons of their goods, and that here 1» an 
unexplored Held filled with well-to-do farmers 
1 to-day, and find one half of the fruit stung bc- 
j fore they are as large as a very small pea. I 
have pened coops of chickens under the trees, 
- but the little turk does not seem to fear them.

Atlanta, (in.. May 30. A less area of cotton 
, | has boon planted, and a less quantity of com¬ 
mercial fertilizers used than for the past two 
crops. Cotton and corn are late, owing to the 
almost continuous rains during March and 
April. Wheat, early oats, clover, and grasses, 
were never better. Wheat harvest will com¬ 
mence in a few days. Cora selling for $1.15, 
wholesale; hay, * 1,50 to $1.75 per 1(H) pounds. 
Strawberries, medium ; season short; drouth 
did the work. Wilson’s Albany the stand-by. 
Raspberries, both red and black caps, injured 
by drouth; have been ripening for -ome days. 
Pears promise well, both fruit and trees look 
finely. Doyenne D’Btes are ripening, Peach 
I crop in tills vicinity will lie short; cause, heavy 
rains while the trees were in bloom. Apples, 
we will probably haven medium crop; codling 
moth is very destructive. Plums and cherries, 
very few except in favored localities; grapes 
are unusually promising, including llie Hcup- 
pernong. A large number of varieties of ap¬ 
ples, pears and grapes, and ;nso other frnits 
are being cultivated by amateurs and others in 
and about this city. \v. j. 
Oxford, Kumncr Co., Kaunas, Mnv 29.—The 
wheat is fast ripening, and in ten days a great, 
deal will he cut. The yield, it is thought, will 
he from .’HI 1o 35 bushels per acre. Corn is look¬ 
ing well; much of it, is 16 to 18 inches high; 
many have plowed it the second time. Ry C , 
oats, barley, cotton, peanut*, ail look well. 
The immigration continues to pour in and the 
day is not far distant when this will be one or 
the most populous counties In southern Kan¬ 
sas. Government land can still ho secured In 
this county at *3,25 per acre. No one person 
can take more than 160 acres, and will have to 
live on the same six months before a deed is 
given, though they have the privilege of twelve 
months. Up to this date there has arrived 
from Texas 90,000 bead of cattle, and are now 
being grazed in the western part of this 
county ; more than this number are yet to he 
driven through, the majority uf which will tie 
shipped from Wichita over the Atchison,Santa 
Fe and 'Topeka Railroad. This road is offering 
better inducements to sett lers and doing more 
to settle Up Kansas than any other road in the 
State.-w. n. c.
