are laying by cotton in The grass. Cot
to has very little fruit en- 1t. Lowlanc
corn was badly damaged by the wet
weather. Sweet potatoes, after being
set out. in many cases have been neg
lected,; therefore the crop will be small
er than anticipated.
Heard-The prospect for a good crop
has not been so good for IA number OF
years. The general rains greatly IN
creased prospective yield. The condl-
ton of cotton is not satisfactory. 1t IS
two weeks late and badly in the grass.
Henrv-Cotton badly off from rainy
weather aud grass. To kill the grass
required doop blowing and hoelng, ana
the weed was badly injured. Bottom
land drowned out some by the wet
weather.
Jasner-We have had great deal of
rain which has injured cotton, especial
ly on gray land. Crops badly III the
grass. For twenty-five days farmers
could not work their crops at all.
Jones-Our corn crop good. Cotton
not looking we'll on account of too much
rain. Rust has appeared in many places,
and grass has taken possession of the
crop in many fields. Stock of ali kinds
doing we'll on account of abundance of
grass.
Lincoln-No blowing done in July
until the 18th, too wet now in spots,
especially on bottom land With few ex
ceptions crops looking well.
McDuffie-The corn crop fine. The
hot weather following the wet season
has caused cotton to shed all the top
crop. Peas, potatoes and sugar cane
are doing we'll but need rain.
Monroe -Cotton grassy and ten days
late. and if it continues dry will be able
70 clean it out.
Morgan-Crops are full of grass. Hay
crop promises to be good.
Newton - Cotton crop fifteen days
late.
Oglethorpe-Corn very fine on upland,
somewhat injured on bottoms by the
wet season. Cotton as IA rule we'll
fruited, but in some localities went too
much to weed, and injured by grass,
A considerable quantity of corn planted
after wheat and oats, which is looking
we'll Peas very fine.
Pike-Fine fruit and vegetable crop.
Grass, owing to the excessive rains, las
damaged all crops.
.Putnam-On account Of excessive wet
weather cotton has rather a vigorous
growth with but little fruit on it. The
fruit crop is the finest in years; and pri-
vate parties, as well us our canning fac
tory, are putting up large quantities for
home use anl market.
Rockdale-Corn crop very fine but ten
days late Cotton is looking well where
it has been worked. Forage patches
arc numerous and looking fine.
Spalding = Crops are beginning to
need rain with continuation of the
present heat and drouth cotton and late
corn will be very much cut off
Talbot-No doubt but that the cotton
crop has been injured by the excessive
rains during the latter part of June and
up to the 23d of July. A large part of
this county suffered from a nine weeks
drouth during the months Of April and
May, which made the stand of cotton
late, and the excessive rains caused it to
get grassy; with favorable seasons from
now on fair yield is expected.
Troup-The wet weather in July
caused cotton to go largely to weed
rain is now needed to make it take on
fruit. Corn is looking well and is about
made.
SOUTHWEST GEORGIA.
Baker-Cotton was retarged in growth
up to June Goth Since that time the
rains have been excessive and the

harm.
