Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia. July The week end
ing al. M. Monday, July 9Th, had a
mean temperature of about 81 degrees,
which is / degree above the normal
The day temperatures ranged from Sc
degrees to S6 degrees, and the nights
from 6s degrees to Is degrees, both
very favorable for crop growth and de
velopmeut. There was about the usual
amonns OF sunshine. The winds were
light, and generally southerly. The
relative humidity averaged above the
normal.
At the beginning Of the week the
ground was thoroughly soaked by the
rains at the close of the previous
week, and there were light scattered
showers on the End, and again on the
Hast day, but. the ground was generally
dry enough to permit cultivation after
the lst of July, with the exception OF
very Low lying lands, and where the
rains on the End were heaviest. A
5zEsH localities need rain, but generally
sssfre soii is well supplied with moisture.
Hail that damaged tobacco fell in
Horry coanty.
With the exception of isolated and
limised localities where the ground is
still too vet to work, the week was
the most favorable of the season on
al crops, and afforded opportunity to
clean fields of grass and weeds, and
gsFs Giaem much needed cultivation,
4alnough complaints of grassy fields
continue to be received from all parts
gof the State. The warm, humid
weather, and the moist condition OF
the soil, were conditions conducive to
nTowsh, and all crops responded, ex-
scept on light soils that have been
aaached by the excessive rains OF June,
and OF crops that have not been proper
IL cultivated. The hot weather, fol-
loving the heavy rainfall, scalded corn
and cotton in Hampton county.
Old corn has about al been laid by,
and is caring wei. Young corn has a
good color generally On replanted
bottom lands, corn is coming up to
good stands.
Cotton continues small, aid on light
soils is yellow. but generally it has a
better color than heretofore, and is
growing rapidly. Lice have about dis
appeared. Some fields are blooming
freely, in the eastern part OF the State,
but in other parts blooming is. not
get general, and many fields have not
pat en any squares. Clean fields are
the exception.
Tobacco curing is in progress in all
sections. The crop has improved re-
Gently, except where previous heavy
yains caused irreparable damage.
Rice is not doing we'll generally.
Peaches and grapes are rotting ex-
aensively, and the fruit crop is less
promising than heretofore. Melons
are small and late. Minor crops, pas,
tnres and gardens are excellent. The
hay crop promises to be heavy.
