THE GROWING CROPS.
How They Appear to totheCorrespondcnts in
south Carolina.

How They Appear to totheCorrespon'icnts i.i
south Carolina.
The estimate given below are based
upon reports received from 237
special correspondents of the Depart
ment of Agriculture i'll every part of
the State
Eighty correspondents report the
weather favorable and dtwenty- five un-
favorable.
COTTON.
The condition of the cotton crop,
reported Mt 103 one month ago, is
still very high. The warm, dry wealth
er that has prevailed over the greater
part of the State has been most ia
vorable for the growth of the plant
and the destruction of grass. The
crop has been well worked and is
exceptionally clean At this date
the condition is in upper Carolina
101, middle Carolina 1O1, lower
Carolina 100. Average for the State
l01, against SS at tho same date in
1899.
The outlook for the corn crop is
not SO good rs on juno 1st, as the
early planting has suffered for rain
in some sections. The condition in
upper Carolina is reported Mt 95,
middle Carolina 80, lower Caro-
lima 30. Average for the State o.,
against 81 for the same time last
year.
Tl1sr:ice crop is generally in good
condition. GThe acreage, including
fhn ,>lopf,nrr ,e, rnNN,faI .
per cent, less than for 1889. The
condition is for upper Carolina 90,
middle Carolina 95, lower Carolina
%. Average for the State 90, against
SO ut the same time last year.
WHEAT AND OATS.
The small grain crop was harvested
in fine condition. Wheat was seri-
ously injured by rust. The yield is
estimated ut six bushels per acre.
The product is estimated at 40 per
cent. less than last year. Thirty
six correspondents report the quality
as good as last year and eighty-three
correspondents as better than last
year. The yield of oats is estimated
at eleven bushels per acre. The yield
of fall and spring sown was about
the same. The total product is esti-
mated at % per cent. less than last
year. The quality is reported better
by 3 correspondents as good by 130
and inferior to last year by G4 CORE
spondcnts.
SMALLER CROPS.
The smaller crops arc reported III
generally good conditions: Sorghum
at 81, sugar cane at 9S, sweet pota
toes ut SO, Irish potatoes at 9G, gar
den products at SO, peaches at 25,
apples and pears at 46, grapes at SO

SMALLER CROPS.
THE VALUE OF TURNlPS.

Crops-Whem and How to Plnnt.

Crops-When and How to Plant.
In cool climates the turnip crop is
quite an important one, being used
quite extensively for feeding sheep.
The climate of the cotton States does
not suit the turnip sufficiently we'll to
warrant it's being ranked as staple
crop. Other crops, like the sweet
potato, can be raised more easily and
prOtitably Tor stock feed. Still the
turnip has some value rs succulent
stock food in winter, and contributes
something to the health of stock,
though not very nutritious. For ta-
bic and for stock it should claim at
least Il patch on every farm.
Success in raising the turnip de-
pcnds very largely on the preparation
Of the land, almost rs much rs in the
manure applied. Perhaps no crop
demands finer tilth. 1t is important,
therefore, to begin the preparation of
turnip land early 1t is none too
early now to begin. The first thing
is to break the land thoroughly and
deep. If left all cloddy the roller and
harrow should follow the plow at
once. After the next rainfall plow
again across the first, and follow as
before with roller and harrow. If
one has no roller, make q drag, by
mailing lumber 10x2 to two slides
elorod upward ut front, nailed on
wcathcrboard fashion, and drag it
over the land. 1t will grind and pull
verize the clods very nicoly. About
five pieces eight feet long will suffice.
This is a very valuable implement on
q farm.
Next to preparation comes manur-
ing. Turnips will not grow on poor
land-it should be made exceedingly
rich. Cow-pcnning is excellent for
the purpose, but this practice is be
coming less practiced than it used to
be- Some stable or lot manure should
be put on the land before the first
plowing, with view to getting it
fined and well mixed with the soil.
Before the second plowing this should
be supplemented with heavy dress
ing of phosphate-say, Mt the rate of
1000 pounds per acre. This fertil-
zcr is peculiarly adapted to the tur-
MP. Some nitrogen and somo potash
are needed also, but phosphate is the
chief manure it calls for. Not only
should liberal dressing Of this be
given broadcast, but if the seed are
drilled n little phosphate should be
put in the drill also, to push the crop
forward rapidly out of the way of the
flea bug. a moderate dressing of
cotton seed meal and some ashes or
kainit should be given also.
On excessively rich land fine crops
of turnips may be raised by sowing
seed broadcast, but on ordinary land
better results will follow sowing in
drills two to two and half feet apart,
thinning out the crop and working it
with plow and hoe. Our experience
is, that in our hot, dry climate the
turnip should not be sown carly
from first of August to middle of Sep
tcmbcr is the best seeding period.

The law of Minnesota, which re
qurcs that the execution of Il muir
dcrcr shall take place between mid
night and dawn. has just been en-.
forced for the first time in the case of
William Bcodkcr, who was hanged
shortly after midnight ut Pine City.
The Minnesota lawgivcrs seem to
have desired tondd gloom and solcm-
nifty to Il ceremony most Srucsomc ut
best, but the hour must be very in
convenient and untimcly one for the
murderer himself. Every attentive
reader of the accounts of execution
crs knows that baby never enjoys
balmicr and swcctcr slumber than q
condemned murderer the night be
fhrc he is to be hanged. He also
knows that he takes very excellent
and hearty breakfast in the morning,
The refreshing sleep and the hearty
breakfast are always the features of
the few hours that prcccdc an cHccu-
ton. But under the new law there
will be no such enjoyment for the
murderer in Minnesota. He will go
to bed after supper, be called up III
