THE GEORGIA CROP REPORT.

es Continue TO Shed.
Atlanta, Ga, June 3.-The Georgia
crop report for the week ending last
night is as follows:
There was a general absence of rain
throughout the week except on Satur-
day when the real showers occurred in
scattered localities. In a very few sec
tons the showers were copious. The
prevailing fair weather has afforded
nne opportunity for cultivation of crops
and the latter are in excellent condi-
ton in this respect. The cool night
temperature and lack of moisture were
detrimental to crop growth, especially
to cotton. The drought is becoming
intense in many counties, but as yet
as effects, except on gardens and gar
den crops, are not regarded as serious.
Corn and cotton continue to do well
and are considered fine. Corn has re-
ceived its second cultivation and cot
ton has been worked to stand in
numerous sections. Complaints of
damage to cotton by lice are infre-
quent.
Harvesting of wheat and oats is in
progress over the southern half of the
state; the yields are in general short.
Rice and sugar cane continue to do
we'll. Irish potatoes are mostly a fail
ure. Shedding of peaches continues,
and by reason of this the outlook for
an abundant crop is less favorable
than anticipated earlier in the season.
Early peaches are being marketed"

General Condition of Cotton Is

Washington, June 3.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The week ending June was abnor-
mally cool in the Lower Missouri, Cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio Valleys and
on the Atlantic coast northward of the
Carolinas. Frosts. more or less de-
structive, occurred from the 9th to the
18th in the Lake Region, Ohio Valley,
Tennessee, Western North Carolina,
over the interior portions of the Mid.
die Atlantic states and generally
throughout New England. In nearly
all districts east of the Rocky Noun
tains crop growth has been checked by
low temperatures.
Corn has made slow growth over
most of the corn belt, and has suf-
fered injury from frost in the Ohio
Valley and Lake Region in the more
northerly sections.
Winter wheat has made favorable
progress. in the states of the Missouri
and upper Mississippi Valleys and in
portions of the lower Ohio valley. In
Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Middle
Atlantic states the previously reported
unfavorable condition continues; thin
stands and heading low being generally
indicated.
Cool nights have checked the growth
of cotton throughout the central and
eastern portions of the cotton belt, but
the general condition of the crop is
promising, the least favorable districts
outside of Texas, the unfavorabl eff

In Texas favorable weather prevail
ed and the crop continues in excellent
condition, but in Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas cotton is suffering from lack of
cultivation.
Tobacco transplanting has progressed
fairly well in the Ohio valley and
Middle Atlantic states. Plants are
scarce in Kentucky, Virginia and
North Carolina, and in the last named
state the crop is suffering from
drought.

SoUTH'S COTTON ACREAGE.
A FRACTION LESS THAN THAT OF
LAST YEAR.

The Total Estimate of Aren Planted
27,S7S.OOO Acres, According to Re-
Gently Corrected Figures of De-
partment of AgricuIture-The Crop
in Universally Fine Condition, Az
eraging 95.I, Being the Highest
Average Since 1896.
Washington. June 3.-The statistician
of the Department of Agriculture esti-
mates the total area planted in cotton
at about three-tenths of l per cent.
less than the acreage planted last wear.
On the basis of the acreage figures
published on May 81 of last year this
would give an acreage for the year
1902-03 of about p, $4,000. From the re-
Gently published census report for 1899,
however, it is apparent that for some
time past the acreage planted in cotton
in the Carolinas. Arkansas and Ten
nessee has been somewhat over-esti-
mated and that in Texas and other
states more or less UNDER estimated,
with the result that for the cotton belt
as a whole there has been an under
estimation of acreage and an over-es-
timation of yield pN acre. Adjustments
have been made to bring the depart
ment's estimates into reasonable con-
formity with the report of the census,
the net result being an addition of
about 41S.000 acres to the estimate of
the area planted last year
This addition raises the estimate of
the area planted for 1902-03 to about
27,S7S,0O0 acres, or $4,000 acres less than
the revised area for last year. There
is a reported decrease in acreage
amounting to per cent. in North Car
DINA; 4.6 per cent. in South Caro-
lima; per cent. in Georgia; per cent.
in Alabama 410 of l per cent. in Mis-
sissippi and $40 of l per cent. in Ar
kansas. On the other hand. there is
an increase of 3 per cent. in Louisi-
ana and Florida. 2.5 per cent in
Texas, s per cent. in Missouri, Is per
cent. in Oklahoma, "a per cent. in In
dian Territory and $40 of l per cent.
in Tennessee.
The average condition of the grow
ing crop on May 26 was 95.1, as COM
pared with S1.5 on May 20 of last year,
S2.5 on June l, 1900, and S5.7 on June l,
1899, and a ten-year average of Sc.
Only twice within a period of twenty
one years, namely in 1887 and 1896, has
the average condition on June l been
as high as the condition now reported
In the former year it was 96.9 and in
the latter 972.
The condition by states is as follows:
North Carolina, 81; South Carolina,
