CROP REp0RTS
from nearly all the section east Of Ra'
Leigh continue TO show improved cOndi-
ton in fam products in almost every
locality. The excessive rains which
caused such deep dependency among
farmers for time did not work such
entire destruction as was feared, and
upon the uplands some claim that they
were actual blessings. Crops IL tho
lowlands in many places were ruined.
but fortunately the lowllnd crops form
q comparatively small portion Of the
farming districts Of the State. There
has becna decided improvement in tho
appearance Of cotton and corn within
lie lest ten days, and should favorable
weather continue farmers 8ill fad their
crops for harvest much better than they
expected. Every indication now points
TO more than average crops.
