! have been very detrimental to crops,
especially to cotton.
Hart-Heavy rainfall for the past ff-
teen days, almost every day.
Lumpkin-Wheat very Irregular
| some places good, Others very poor.
O ,ats good, but acreage small. Very
netie cotton planted this year. Upland
: corn good
Murray-Cotton small and in many .
;usIarces no fertilizers having been used
1t will not do much.
Pauiding-Prospect very good for
'orn crop Also large acreage planted.
Elckens-Crops are generally in good
condition. with good stands, though all
crops are from ten TO fifteen davs Late
Wheat and oats better than usual. A
good crop Of all kinds of fruit.
! Rabun-Farmers are getting badly in
the grass on account of so much wet
weather. Very little blowing done for
Union-We have had an unusual
amount OF rain this spring, and farm
ars are very much behind with their
work on account of the wet weather,
| Walker-Cotton in very poor condi-
ton: May was too cold and dry to get a
good stand.

damage during the past week to crops
along the creeks and river. It has
washed away considerable wheat and
oats and done much damage to

MIDDLE GEORGIA.
Baldwin-Corn small owing to so little
rain in April and May, but has com
menced to grow vigorously since the
June rains.
Bibb-Have had but one rain in three
months until about the goth. and since
then have had plenty. Crops are i'm
proving, being clear and nothing to pre-
vent them growing. Heavy crops of
peas and potatoes are being planted
more peas than for years past, and they
look well.
Butts-Until within the last few days
crops have been retarded by dry weather.
Recent rains have been general over the
county, and the condition is improving.

condition; were well cultivated during

generally been threshed, the yield fine
and quality excellent. Cotton prospect
not so hattering; area at least 90 per
cent. off.
Carroll-The general rains throughout
:he county have made the corn crop gain
many points, but grass has possession of
much OF the cotton and the plants are
very small but healthy. Have had sew
sral washing rains lately, damaging
:orn and cotton.
Clarke-Have had copious showers
vince last report, which, taken together
with warm weather. has caused crops to
grow off very rapidly. Spring oats are
being harvested and will yield more than
any of the three preceding years.
ClaYton-The recent rains have caused.
the crops to improve rapidly. Corn,
though small, is doing very well, and the
outlook is good. Some sections, how
aver. where the rain commenced early
are now badly in the grass.
Columbia-Rain nearly every day for
two weeks. Corn fine. Cotton is get
ing grassy. Too much rain for cotton
and melons. m
Coweta-WS have been having copious

Kentucky can boast of.
DeKalb-Good season for corn; rather
wet for cotton; grass growing fast.
Douglas--Since the last rains crops
have greatly revived, and are looking
line where they have been properly Gull
| tivated
EIbert-Corn prospect excellent. A
great deal of the oat land has been
! planted in corn and peas and promises
an abundant yield. The cotton crop
may be reported as fairly good, some of
it looking well, but great many fields
in the grass.
Greene-There is a full pea crop
planted, and the prospect is good. Cot
ton not fertilized is small, but is grow
ing very fast and with late seasons will
make a fair crop.
HancOck-Corn and cotton small, but
much improved by recent rains. The
melon crop is poor. owing to the dry
spring.
Harris-The condition of crops has
been very much improved by the recent
rains. On account of the drought in the
spring cotton and corn both small-the
latter, however, promises we'll.
Thanksgiving TO the long drouth in
ApElI anu May, COTTON ID small, out at
this time is doing WE'LL In the western
part of the county, crops are at least
two weeks late.
Henry-Wheat nearly all threshed;
crop good. Cotton growing finely, but
in bad condition-excessive rains bring
out the grass rapidly. Corn doing we'll.
Jasper-The ground at this report is
wet deep. Corn suffered from cool
winds and dry weather, but has i'm
proved very much since we had rain.
Jones-Corn and cotton are smaller
than an average. but are clean of grass,
and have healthy appearance. We
have now good season and consider
able crop of late corn and peas has been
planted. Not much wheat or oats made
in this county, and very few melons
and potatoes are raised for market.
Lincoln-We are having an abundance
OF rain. Land too wet to pillow for days
at time, so that crops cannot be prop
efly worked, which will cause the grass
to get start, and having it to work out
in July will cause material injury, es-
pecially to cotton. If the season con-
tinues through July the corn crop will
be very large.
McDufie- through June very
