OUTLOOK Is BAD.
Commissioner Stevens Carries
Gloomy Report to Atlanta.

Commissioner of Agriculture 0. b.
Stevens is quoted as saying that there
will not be half peach crop in Geor~
gia this year. He has recently made
a trip all through the peach section OF
the state, and says in addition to all
that the crop has suffered up to the
present time much of the fruit is now
dropping off on account of the attacks
of the curculio, and that the destruc-
tion of the peaches is going to be a
great deal more extensive than anyone
has yet imagined.
He says he finds 'also that in many
sections of the state there has not
been rain enough to bring up the cot
ton seed planted, while in other sec
tions planting is not completed, and in
some there has been no planting at all.
The farmers are much discouraged, he
states, and he says it is impossible
that Georgia should have large cot
ton crop this year.

In 1890 the average length of life in
