For the Week Ending Monday,
April 25, 1898.
COLUMBIA, S G., April 26
The mean temperature for the
week was normal but over the west
ern, northern, and northwestern
counties the nights were too cool for
the growth of crops, while the day
temperatures were sufficiently high to
warm the ground and bring up seed
recently planted The mean tempe
rature for the week was 65 which is
also the normal for the same period
There was wide range of tenn
peratute between the western and
eastern portions, viz: between 81 ON
the 20th at GillisonyiIle and 36 on the
21st at Greenville. Light frosts were
observed on the mornings of the
Goth and 21st in Pickens, Greenville.

ties but nothing was injured
The rainfall for the week was
heavy and we'll distributed. and over
the greater portion Of the State was
needed and will prove beneficial,
while over limited areas in the west
central counties the ground was pre-
viously>too wet and farmwork will be
further delayed Over the southeast.
ern, eastern, and northeastern coun-
ties the rain was timely for oats and
for putting the soil in condition for
transplaating tobacco. Twenty five
places. representing all portions of
the State, reported amounts Of rain
fall of one inch or more, four OF
which had over two inches, with ex-
cessive falls of 4 73 and 4 25 at st.
Paul and Ella respectively. The
average of all reports is l 10 and The
normal for the same period is approx
imately 0 80. Light hail fell on the
23d aud Govan and Chelaw but did
no damage
The sunshine varied greatly over
the State but averaged S6 per cent
of the possible High winds accom-.
panied the ,hunderstorms over New
berry county destroying fruit trees
and blowing down fences.
The weather on the whole was
favorable for farmwork, which pro
gressed rapidly end is now well ad-
vauced
Corn planting made fair progress
and upland corn in most counties is
nearly all planted, some bottom lands
have been planted
Complaints Of poor stands Of corn
are general and include all portions
Of the State Some Of the earliest

ly. In general the nights have been
too cool for corn to grow we'll Early
corn, in places, is large enough to
plow.
The bulk of the cotton crop was
planted during The week. and only IN
the extreme northwestern counties
does any considerable area remain to
be planted Early planting is com
iog up to irregular stands while later
planting is coming up nicely. None
has been chopped out yet. In the
northeastern counties rain was need
ed but has been copiously supplied
Oats are small aad backward in

the recent rains will benefit them.
