CROP BULLETIN,
County Reports Concerning the Crop
Conditions for Week Ending
May 21, 1894.

AS a general thing the past week has
been a good n for crops. Heavy rains
have been we'll distributed over the state,
and the sunshine has been slightly above
the average, as has been the temperature,
The drawbacks were high winds which
prevailed the first part of the week, and
frosts which followed the rain storms,
Without doing much damage, however,
although in the eastern part of the state
the small fruit is reported killed, and in
scattered places some damage is said to
have been done to small grain. A hail
storm is reported to have crossed McIn-
tosh county, beating down the grain and
doing considerable damage.
Some few scattered fields are vet to be
planted, but, as a rule, seeding is finished
and it is probable that all The corn and
potatoes, as we'll as other cereals, will all
be in the ground this week.
