greatly improved since the rains began.
Potatoes will likely make an excellent
crop in this section. The late crop of
melons will do far better than the early
one did. Ribbon cane is growing finely.

Although the weather has, as a whole.

OF the eastern counties, frequent heavy
rains have in some localities prevented
the proper working of the fields. and
many plantations are overrun with grass

shedding slightly, but bids fair to give an
average yield. Fodder is ripeuing and
with favorable weather, pulling will soon
begin. Corn is in very fine condition, and
the yield will probably be satisfactory to
the farmer. Potatoes are growing
rapidly, and a few are large enough for
the table. Peas have a good stand. but,

Although the frequent, and in many
cases heavy, rains of the past week have
not materially injured the crops of South
western Georgia, there would, no doubt
nave been more improvement in the gen

IS little of any other kind of fruit.
Heavy rains in the southern section
have delayed the pulling and saving OF
fodder. Thunder and lightning was gen

but no damage has been reported Owing
TO the heavy and continued rainfall,
cotton has, in places, begun to rust and
shed On most plantations, though, cot

generally receiving its last blowing, pre-
vious to laying by. Corn, as a rule, is
only fair, yet it has been considerably
improved by the rains. Sugarcane, peas
and potatoes are doing well Grass is
getting to be nuisance in all of the
crops.
Rain continues to come in abundance to
the southeastern counties, and the crops
in many localities are now suffering for
the suns rays to relieve their drowning
condition. Cotton is shedding some, on
account of the continued wet weather.
Corn has passed the period of danger,
with fine crop, and most all OF it has
been laid by. odder-pulling has been
the order of the day on some plantations,
but will commence in earnest next week.
Butter beans are being shipped in large
quantities, together with a small amount
of peas. Winter turnips are being planted
by some. Rice is heading well.
