WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Columbia, , c., May Z, 1901.
The week ending Monday, May
9Th, averaged warmer than usual,
being the first week of the present
season with temperatures above
the normal Maximum tempera-
lures of 80, or above, occurred
generally on the first three davs
of MAY, with an extreme maxi
mum of SO at BlackviIle on the
4th; the minimum for the week
was 40 al Greenville and Kings
tree, on April 29th, on which
date light frusts occurred at num-
erous points, but without doing
any material damage
The rainfall for the week was
very light, and confined entirely
to the western counties bordering
on North Carolina The ground
has become dry over the eastern
half of the State, where there is a
marked deficiency in the seasonal
rainfall, while over the whole
State rain is needed to stimulate
plant growth, to germinate re.
Gently planted seeds, TO facilitate
transplanting tobacco, and to sof-
ten the baked and crusted soil SO
rs to permit young sprouts to
come up. Truck Is suffering
severely for rain, and yields have
been materially diminished by the
drought Wheat and oats also
would he greatly benefited by
showers at this time.
Corn improved in appearance,
stand and color, although stands
continue generally poor and brok-
en-. Late paintings are coming up
better. Corn has not all been
planted over the western counties,
and bottom lands are now being
prepared for corn. Over the CEN
tral and eastern counties. corn is
receiving its first cultivation, but
1t is small for the season. This
crop needs rain ut present.
Cotton that was recently plant.
ed is coming up nicely where the
soil is moist, but over two.thirds
of the State it was necessary to re,
plant from one-half to two~thlrds
of the cotton that was planted
previous to April 18th. Seed
continues scarce, and there is
diversity of opinion as to the effect
Of so much replanting, some cor.
respondents noting u decrease in
the acreage while many of them
believe the acreage will not be
materially decreased thereby.
Planting is about finished. Sea
island cotton is dwarfed, and
much replanting is necessary.
Wheat ha- improved, and is
heading. Oats vary greatly in
condition, but in most localities
continue promising, although gen.
orally heading low. With many
exceptions, peaches, pears and
