The WEATHER AND The CROPS.

The South Carolina weather service, CO.
operating with the chief signal officer,
furnishes the following concerning the eff
feet of the weather on the various crops
during the week ending last Saturday:
The rainfall for the past week has been
slightly below the average. Temperature
for the same period has been below the
average average amount of sunshine.
Where rain has fallen it has been fairly
distributed, with a favorable effect on all
crops. The temperature, though below the
average, has been favorable for all condi-
tons. Sunshine has been an average
amount and been of great advantage in the
harvesting of crops, which is being pushed
as rapidly as circumstances will permit.
The frost of the 30th ultimo seems to have
been general, and as far as heard from no
damage has accrued except it may be the
possible nipping of young vegetation.
The weather crop bulletin issued last
Sunday by the signal Office at Washington
says:
The weather has been favorable for all
growing crops during the week throughout
the cotton region, and cotton picking is
| progressing rapidly. In northern Texas
the crop is reported about two weeks late.
Light frosts occurred in the northern por-
ton of the Gulf States during the first part
of the week, and some damage resulted
to the tobacco crop in North Carolina, Ten
nessse and Kentucky. In some sections of
the last named State o%ne-fourth of the late
tobacco crop is injured.
In Tennessee the weather vas favorable
for the seeding of wheat, and increased
acreage is reported.
The first heavy frost occurred inl the
Middle Atlantic States during the week,
killing all tender vegetables in New Jer-
sey, but most crops had been secured pre-
vious to the frost. Killing frost occurred
in New England, and a slight freeze is re-
ported in northern portions of this region,
resulting in some damage to fruit, but the
corn crop is reported to be in a fair con-
ton.
