In the eastern section of Georgia the mast
week has been good one, one of the best
of the season, and cotton consequently has
been growing very rapidly. In some few
places rains have been too heavy, and ,ot-

little has been picked. Fodder picking is
going along with a rush and a large crop
is being saved. Corn is better than was
expected would be the case. yet it is hardly
up to the average. Peas. cane and potatoes
are thriving and good yields of all are ex-
pectcd: Turnps are just being sown.
In the southwest counties the week has
been marked by frequent showers and high
temperature. Cotton has improved rapidly
and is now opening. In some localities the
planter has already begun picking On
pine lands some rust has been observed
Fodder pulling has been delayed by wet
weather, but will probably be completed
during the coming week. Corn is an un7
usually fine crop and in parts of the sec
ton is being gathered. Potatoes, peas and
garden truck are flouriShing.
More moderate rain has fallen in south
Georgia the past week and has been of
general benefit: Farmers are putting i'll
their seed for fan greens and winter vege
tables. The corn crop in this section bids
fair to prove as good Il one rs was ever
known. Cotton is rusting and shedding in
some localities, but such complaints are not
numerous. Late watermelons are coming
in. but the crop is thought to be short.
The rice fields of the southeastern Sec
ton are in tlourishing condition, especially
the inland fields. Here the weather has
been warm and almost daily showers have
fallen 1t has been rather wet for peas
and cotton, but potatoes and cane have
improved under it. The rain has impeded
the work of the fodder shippers and the
making of hay. Cotton seems in good con-
dition and is opening fast. Fruit other than
pears and grapes, is rotting a good deal, but
pears are in fine condition and grapes are
doing well. The late crop of melons prom
