of the Planters.


Atlanta, Ga, May THE weekly crop
bulletin out to-day, says: with an am
pie supply of rainfall and heat the wealth
er of the past week has, as a whole, been
very favorable for the Georgia planter
and his crops. Except a few complaints
of tho ravages of cut and bud worms and
blight in pears. the reports from different
parts of the state indicate generally sat
isfied feeling on the part of all farmers.
I'm the most southerly counties, cotton
is well advanced and chopping is in pro-
gress, but further to the north the entire
crop has not yet been planted. Corn will
again be a large crop.
1.-THE past week has been a model one
for farm work in the southwest counties.
Corn has most all been plowed out and
cotton chopping is now the order of the
day Cotton is being plowed and the
stands are good. Cane, in some localities.
is not coming up good, on account Of the
cold winter. when cane seed was damaged.
1.-THE rainfall in the southern section has
not been evenly distributed. At present
the condition Of the cotton crop Is little
discouraging. The stand is poor and some
have had to replant. Some complain of
the plant dying out and a great many
fields are very grassy.
In the southeastern part of the state
there was too much rain and farm work
was delayed. Cotton Is up and chopping
is in progress. Corn is well advanced. Rice

First Infantry is enthusiastically in favor
of patriotic demonstration in connection
with unwilling of the monument, and
their enthusiasm is shared equally by the
enlisted men. Col Turner's planning to
make day of it, as he puts it, and he
predicts that the celebration will be the
