Crop Report.

Local rains were reported in most
counties during the week, some of
them being heavy, and in a few
localities damaging to crops and
soil. In many counties the rains,
while local in character, covered
larger areas than those of the
previous week and were greatly
beneficial to late crops, and in
facilitating the work of blowing,
and for seeding turnips. In some
localities the severe drouth contin-
ues with disastrous results to the
late maturing crops, but these dry
districts now comprise rather a
small proportion of the general area,
as the majority of reports indicate
improvement in the condition and
prospects of late crops of corn and
tobacco, also of cotton and minor
crops. Early corn is about made,
and although considerably shortened
by the unfavorable conditions of
excessive wet weather followed by
drouth, will probably make a fair
yield where it has received a reason
able amount of cultivation; late corn
is largely cut off by the drouth of
August, and cannot be expected,
even with the most favorable con-
ditions, TO do much good. Cotton
is doing fairly we'll since the rains,
but rust and shedding has greatly
reduced the prospective yield; it is
slowly, and picking will
not be general for a week or ten
days yet. Tobacco cutting is IN
full progress and a good yield both
in quantity and quality is promised;
later paintings are much improved
by the rains. The second crop of
Irish potatoes does not promise
much: sweet potatoes are improved
by the rains. Gathering peas, and
saving fodder and late hay progress
ed favorably, and preparation for
the fall seeding was pushed forward
where the rains rendered the soil
favorable: Pastures are improving
and stock reported doing well. Sor-
ghum making Is in progress, also
drying fruit. Late apples promise
a light crop on account of dropping
off; peaches in most sections are
rather inferior.
