SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS.
Conditions More Favorable During
the Past Week.

The week ending s a. m, Monday,
June 20, 1909, had a mean temperature
of IS degrees which is about 4 degrees
below normal. The nights continue too
cool for the favorable development OF
cotton. There was more than the
usual amount of c%loudiness, and there
Is an indicated need Of more sunshine
for corn, cotton and melons. There
were local high winds accompanying
thundersoms that caused slight dam
age over limited areas.
The Western half Of the State had
beneficial rains on the 22nd and 26th,
the latter heavy enough to stop Guilt
walton for the remainder Of the week,
but it was needed to soften crusted
lands that had become too hard to
plow. The central and northeastern
counties had rain nearly every day,
with some excessive rains that washed
lands and rendered all but hillsides toe
wet to cultivate. In Barnwell, Bam-
berg, Orangeburg, Berkeley, Williams
burg, Sumter, Clarendon, Florence.
Darlington, Marion and Marlboro, and
parts OF adjoining counties, crops are
suffering from lack Of work and ex-
cess of moisture. The immediate coast
counties had moderate and beneficial
rains. The average rainfall for the
State was nearly 2 inches. Hail storms
occurred in many counties, but serious
damage by hail was reported from
Berkeley, Marlboro and Saluda coun-
ties only.
The general condition of all crops is
better than any time this season, but
the improvement is comparatively
slight in many places, and all cultiya-
ted field crops need dry weather to
permit cultivation, and to rid them Of
grass. They also need more sunshine
to give them a healthier color, and
greater warmth to stimulate a o
rapid growth.
The corn crop is fairly promising,
except in a few central counties where
lack of cultivation aaA an excess Of
moisture has given it a sickly color
and a stuntcd growth. Early corn Is
being laid by in the eastern and CEN
trail counties, with many fields in a
grassy condition. 1t is tasseling. Bot
tom land corn has not recovered from
the effects Of the recent floods and is
poor.
There Is a general improvement in
cotton over last week both in color and
growth, but the plants continue small
and in places still lack a healthy col
or, while stands are broken and ir-
regular. Lice are less prevalent than
last week. First blooms are reported,
since the 18th from the eastern and
central parts of the State, but bloom
ing is general. Last year cotton was in
full bloom By the first OF July. The
work of cleaning fields has made rapid
progress but many fields are still
grassy, and some have not been chop
ped to stands. Sea-island cotton is
small. but vigorous and healthy.
Tobacco curing is in progress. The
tobacco crop has improved recently,
and now ranges from fair to exceeding
ly fine. Rice is doing we'll. Canteloupe
shipments have begun. Hay meadows,
sweet potatoes and cane look fine. The
fruit prospects are less promising. es-
pecially for apples and grapes. Gardens
are fine.
