THE CROP OUTLOOK.

The Weekly Bulletin Of the Wrather and the
Crops.
The weekly bulletin of the condition Of
the weather and the crops throughout the
State, issued by Director Harmon on the lst
inst. ceays;
The temperature has averaged above the
normal mt all stations and has been benefi-
cial to all crops. The rainfall has been
bsdly distributed, many sections not having
been visiied at oil other sections received
showers during the heat Of the day, which
had an Injurious rather than q beneficial ef-
fect. Some few localities received heavy,
washipg rains, which were accompanied by
high winds, from which slight damage re-
suited.
While the drought continues in many SEQ
tions it has been temporarily relieved, and
With the showers Of July 81 and today will
IL all probability be broken. With plenty
Of rain through August there is still q
chance for fair cotton crop. The next ten
days or two weeks will be watched with o
great deal Of anxiety by oil cotton growers
snd fsctors; with good rains an average
crop may be expected in the Piedmont
region, but not in the middle belt nor 10 the
coast counties with drought the crop will
ba reduced one-half. Some farmers fear,
where growth has been backward, that cot
ton will cast off sIuars as soon as growth
Begins after good rains, making gloomy
prospect for large sections Of the State. The
general feeliog seems TO be that cotton has
improved more than, could be expected con-
eidefing the drought It is frulting well
and sheddiog but little.
Corn though recently improved, will not
amount to much. Some bottom corn Is re-
ported as made and o fair crop, but upland
corn ruined. Young corn looks we'll.
Gardens are ruined Ia many counties,
but whore the drought had not already
sponded to tho rain.
Turnio planting has begun. Rodderstrip-
ping viii commence this week.
Rice looks well, but requires more rain
