Weather Bureau and Crop Bulletin of The

United States Department of Agri-
culture, Weather Bureau.—Weather
crop bulletin of the Texas weather
service lor the week ending Thursday,
April 5. 1894:
Precipitation: Rain has fallen to a
greater of less extent in all parts of
the state during the past live days.
Only light sprinkles, however, have
occured over the eastern portion of the
coast district, while the heaviest rain-
fall which has occurred in any part of
the state is reported from the central
portion of this district. Next to this
the heaviest rains have occurred over
east Texas and the eastern portions of
north and central Texas, where they
ranged about an inch or slightly over;
these sections of the state the rains
have been about normal or a little
above, while over western portions of
central and north Texas the amounts
which have fallen have have ranged
generally from one-fourth to one-half
i$n inch, and have been below the nor-
mal for these districts. The greatest
deficiency in rainfall is over the east-
ern portion of the coast district.
• Sunshine lias been below the aver-
age particularly over the coast district.
The temperature has been normal
or above over the state. The highest
temperature at the several stations
during the past five days has ranged
from 74 over the east district or about
88 over tho western portions of the
state; and the lowest for this period
lias ranged from 48 over the north-
western portion of the state to 04 over
the coast district.
CONDITION OF CHOPS.
The season was geneaally favorable
for farm work, and the last five days
liaye been as favorable as could have
been desired. The recent warm weath-
er is overcoming the bad effects of the
freezes during the latter part of March
and vegetation is taking ou a vigorous
i^jppearance generally and is starting
off" with very healthy growth.
The greater portion of the corn which
was killed by the late freezes over
ljorth, central and east Texas has been
replanted, and the recent rains have
been bringing it up nicely,. Some lo-
calities in southwest Texas where corn
was not killedthe latter partofMarch,
report a poor stand of that planted
early. The prospects are that all corn
in the ground will come up well. The
crop, however, is two to four weeks
late except over the coast district and
parts of southwest Texas. More rain
would not be objectionable to farmers
over tho western portions of north and
central Texas. j
Some amount of cotton has been
planted and was up over tlie southern
I portions ot the slate before the late
I' freeze and was pretty much all killed.
Farmers have been engaged replant-
ing where killed over these districts
[and first planting lias been making
fcood progress over central and eastern
portions of tho state, while the gronnd
is reported as generally in good condi-
tion and ready for planting over the
western portions of north and central
Texas.
The oat crop, it is now known, did
not suffer from the effects of the freeze
in March to any exteut except in north-
western portions of the state, and it is
Ibelieved that the crop will recover
Ithere and mako a good crop. The re-
cent rains have been very beneficial
11 bringing the crop forward, and it is
low generally promising. Slight dani-
jured over parts of north Texas, as
some correspondents report that very
little will bo raised this year in their
THE 'mrt °' Mta'e> while other localities
report that the prospects have improv-
ed somewhat in the past week. Over
central and east Texas a fair crop will
probably be made and some sections
will make a good crop, but on the
whole it appears that the crop will be
short there. Over coast district and
southwest Texas the fruit crop, it ap-
pears, is very promising.
Uardens are considerably behind in
all parts of tho state except the coast
district where they are generally well
advanced and as good as could be de-
sired. The strawberry crop of the
coast district is turning out splendid-
ly.
The grass crep lias been improved
during tho week.
An Appeal to the Christians of Brenham.
ltev. K. H. Burnett, a well known
Texas Evangelist, is expected in Bren-
ham next Monday to assist the pastor
of tho Methodist church in a meeting.
He will come immediately from
Huntsville, where ho has been for
two weeks assisting Rev. Setli Ward,
pastor of the Methodist church at that
place.
It is earnestly desired by the pastor
of the Methodist church of Brenham
that all Christians, irrespective ot
croed, will co-operate in this meeting
and unite for a single purpose and
that for the Salvation of men, and let
the brethren of other churches rest as-
sured of a most cordial invitation to
join in, and all of us get the good that
will surely come out of a united effort
made in a disinterested Christian
spirit. We bo brethren, no matter
what our church affiliation, all parts
of the grand army of Christ. Come
brethren let's mass our forces in a con-
centrated effort for the welfare ot the
people of Brenham. The question be-
fore us is a question of need and a
question of possibilities. Let stereo-
typed objections be buried under a
higher motive and a nobler purpose,
grant tho chaff is in greater propor-
tion than the wheat, yet in much
have tho wheat for it is absolutely es-
sential. Revivals of religion are like
refreshing showers of rain, much
wanted in sterile places and on bar-
ren rocks, still it is true that bred
blossom and grain eagerly drink the
water and bring forth some thirty,
some sixty, and some an hundred
fold. We want the faith, the prayers
and the co-operation of every true
child of Christ in Brenham, no matter
what the church relation. Come to
the help of the, Lord against the
Might,
A Sad Picture.
The next time you are in a melan-
choly mood, as you are almost certain
to be if you become bilious or dyspap-
tic. picture to yourself the condition
of a poor man who, without resources
and with a family on his hands, finds
himself on a sick bed. Uloom ob-
scures his narrow horizon in every di-
rection. Unable to do any work, with-
ap;
sib
continued ill health; with rent, per-
haps, unpaid and unpayable, the out-
look for liini is gloomy indeed. How
shortsighted, then, is the man of hum-
ble means who perceiving that his
health ami strength are failing takes
no precaution to avert the oncoming
evil. Hosteiter's Stomach Bitters is
a reliable, professionally recommend-
ed restorative of health and vigor, and
a sure means of preventing the many
disabling complaints which exposure,
overwork, neglect and insufficient
food produce. Malaria' rheumatism,
kidney and liver complaint, dyspepsia
and nervous disease always vield
to it.
