SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
South Carolina Crop Prospects.

COLUMBIA, s. c., August 5.-The State
Department of Agriculture furnishes high
ly encouraging information regarding the
growing crops. The favorable condition
OF the cotton crop during June has been
fully maintained in July. Generally
throughout the State the plant shows
rapid and healthy growth, and the re-
ports indicate one of the finest crops
grown for many years. In some sections
the rains have been excessive and in others
there has been insufficient rainfall, hut
these conditions exist only in few local
titles, and are not general enough to ap-
preciably affect the crop. The corre-
spondents, with scarcely an exception,
report that where the crop has been we'll
worked-and this has been done very gen.
erally-the prospects for full yield are
very promising. Caterpillars have ap-
peared in Aiken, Darlington, Oran geburg,
Sumter, Beaufort, Berkley, Charleston,
Colleton and Hampton, but so far have
done no serious harm, though farmers are
apprehensive of the damage that may be
done by the second brood. The planters
have begun the use of Paris green
in some of the lower counties, and this
will be resorted to in other sections
if necessary. A slight shedding is no
ticed in localities, but the crop has sus-
tanned no injury from this cause. Some
correspondents say that the crop is grow
ing too much too weed out, and is not
fruiting we'll. The condition August 1st
is reported in Upper Carolina at 1O1, Mid
die Carolina at &c. Lower Carolina at 98-
average for the State, 80. The following
was the condition reported on the 1st of
August in the years mentioned: 1881, p;
1882, a.; 1SS3 70; 1884, 81. The condition
is higher than any report by the National
Department of Agriculture since 1870. In
that year it was reported at 101. The
next highest reports made by that de-
partment were in 1872 1889 and 1882, when
it was estimated at SO.
The corn crop is unusually good, and
many of the correspondents express the
opinion that it will be the largest yield
ever obtained in the State. The early
corn is safe for full crop beyond all
contingencies, and the late planting
promises equally as WELL The condition
is reported in Upper Carolina at 105, Mid
die and Lower Carolina at 101; average
for the State, 1O2, against 81 for the same
period last year.
The condition of rice is reported at 80
in the upper counties, and in Lower Caro-
lima at 81.
