Atlanta, June 1S.-The following is the
crop report issued by the Weather Blu
reau for the week ending Monday, June
IT, 1901.
Excessive rains occurred during the
week in many sections of the state. In
some counties, particularly in the eastern
part, the rainfall exceeded inches. There
has been no opportunity for cultivation,
for which all crops are suffering. Grass
and weeds have obtained the lead and are
growing rapidly. The reports of CORE
spondents contain much information of
discouraging character, and little hope of
improvement is expressed. Labor seems
to be scarce commodity, and with 50
much cultivation, that is necessary, this
becomes a serious factor in the situa-
ton.
The following are reports from some of
the southern counties:

week, very little work accomplished, grass
fcurishing.
