CAROLINA CROPS.
Hot Weather Has Damaged Cotton
and O,hec Prndur,s

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 2j.-South
Carolina crops have suffered dsas-
trously from the present intense hot
spell com bined with the drought. Re-
Gently few local showers have fallen
over very limited areas, but otherwise
there has been no rain in August
Since July 29:h the mercury has on nc
day failed to reach 81, while for the
last seventeen days 9S is the least maxi.
mum recorded. with the average for
that time lUl degrees in the shade
The record OF LOG surpasses any ever
made before iE South Carolina. For
six consecutive days l0l, or better, has
been registered by the United States
weather bureau.
Probably on account OF the intense
dryncss there have been but few pros
tratiOns and but three or four deaths
but the effect on business is serious and
merchants as we'll as farmers have
long faces.
While the crops have suffered seri.
0usly and truck gardens have been de.
stroyed the heaviest financial loss falls
on cotton planters. Some farmers cs-
Innate the cotton yield has been reduc.
ed 40 per cent. but only allowing loss
OF ~ per cent. On an average yield on
the acreage planted, the loss will be
100, 600 balos, or ST.. 500 900. The loss
on other crops, sugar cane, late corn
and hay will make the total over 81,
100000. OF course, unless there are
general rains within very few days
the drought will become disaster
and actual suffering to small farmer
and negoes will result.
Cotton fields are as white as they
generally are late in September, but
over half the bolls that are showing
the white are unmatured, being burst
open by the heat, and the lint is with
out value. Many OF the plants are
dying, the leaves drying up and falling
OF, and no moro blossoms are coming
Ordinarily the plants blossom until
frost. Nothing can save the farmere
from the loss already sustained, but
rains would start the plants to blossom
ing again and late frosts would permit
the new bOlls formed to mature.
AS 1t stands the probable loss tC
farmers from this heated month will
be not less than $4,000, 900 and may De
worry much greater.
Reports from North Carolina and
Georgia are but slightly more encour.

Hog Cholera and Corn.

LOG cholera or swine plague is con-
fined almost entirely to the corn pro-
duclnS states, writes &. S. Moore OF
Oklahoma. Here where the seasons
are such that corn cannot be depended
upon entirely for feeding hogs n large
number are marketed that are not fed
corn except to finish Off on. Alfalfa
pastures will keep pigs growing and In
good condition, SO that n very little
corn VIII finish them. If alfalfa Is not
to be had, wheat for winter pasture
and sorghum for summer, supplement-
ed with katilr or corn, Will give as
good results. The pork thus produced
IS perfectly healthy. After Il residence
here OF II years l have yet to hear OF
the first case Of hog cholera. Coming
from n part OF Missouri where corn
and hogs were the principal products,
the swine plague often destroyed an
entire herd. l am led to think that the
difference IS caused by the different
method Of feeding. am persuaded
that if northern farmers would run
their hogs on clover pastures, add roots
to their bill of fare and feed less corn
hog cholera would soon be thing
of the past. Hogs thus raised make
better meat, mature quicker cost less
to produce and are more profitable.
