THE CROP REPORTS,
Prepared by tho Weather Bureau Service
for Georgia.
The week has been quite favorable for
crops in northwestern Georgia. The rain
fall, with few exceptions, has been below
the average, while the temperature was
slightly lower than the normal.
Cotton is opening slowly and picking Is
expected to commence very soon. Rust Is
reported in many localities and shedding
also. While there will be a considerable
shortage, yet there has been a general i'm
provement during the week.
Large quantities of fodder are being pulled
and saved, and the fair weather prevailing
Is excellent for securing the crop. A fair
yield of corn is indicated.
Potatoes are looking well. Turnips are
still being sowed and some already up look
promising
Peaches are nearly gone. Apples are
dropping OFT to some extent.
In the northeast the cool, dry and sun
shiny weather of the past week has been
very beneficial to all crops, and fodder pull
ing, which has been SO long delayed on ac-
count OF wet weather, is now in full blast
In some localities, while in others it is about
finished
Cotton is opening rapidly and picking be-
gun in some places. The crop will be
short.
The lowland corn crop has suffered con-
slderaby from the recent excessive rains.
Upland corn Is doing very well and a full
crop will be made.
All garden truck, and peas and turnips
are looking well. The sowing of fall grain
has commenced
In the west portion also the farmers re-
port very favorable week. Rather less
than an average amount of rainfall was re-
ported, and the temperature and sunshine
were about up to the normal.
In the picking of cotton, which is becom-
ing general in this section, it is seen that
cotton will fall short of an average yield
on gray lands. On the red soil it appears
much better, though there, also, it will be
considerably short.
Fodder is being housed and corn is being
ground at the mils-generally an abundant
yield.
Sugar cane, peas, ground peas and po-
tatoes all give promise of excellent yields.

section indicate that the weather OF the
past week has been most favorable for the
harvesting of such crops as are made, ana
the growth of those which are not yet ma
tured.

ties and picking is in progress. Some re-
porters complain of boil worms, but think
that n continuation of sunshine and average
dry weather will prevent great damage

ton and opening more rapidly than on sandy
soils. but the crop, as q whole, Will De de-
cdedly below the average:
