SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS
Conditions for the Growth Of Crops
Have Been Favorable.


The week ending a. m., September
Eth, had mean temperature Of 79 de-
grees which is about degree above
normal. The temperature was very uni
form throughout the week. The ex-
tremes were minimum of Sc at Green
willie on Augist3Oth, and maximum
of "a at Blackville on the 3rd. The sun
shine was slightly above the normal
amount, and the relative humidity was
slightly below. There were no violent
wind, or any hail storms during the
week.
The precipitation averaged less than
the weekly normal amount, although in
the northwestern counties and in the
middle Savannah valley counties there
were excessive rains locally, over qGite
large areas. A number of places had
10 rain until the 4th when generally
showery conditions prevailed over the
entire State. What rain fell during tie
week was generally beneficial.
The moderately high temperatures.
and general absence of precipitation
were favorable, and farm work made
rapid progress.
Fodder pulling is under way, and
nearing completion, in the western
counties and is practically finished in
the eastern ones. The bulk Of the corn
crop has matured, and it is uniformly
lnrge crop.

growing, and generally stopped fruit:

general, over the eastern and central
counties, while picking has just be-
gun in the western counties where the
crop is from one to three weeks late.
Rust, shedding and blight continue to
cause deterioration on light lands, and
rust has appeared on some clay lands
and on sea-island cotton. Boil worms
and caterpillers have appeared in few
fields but are not yet threatening. Sea-
island cotton is heavily fruited, and is
still blooming. freely.
The weather was ideal for cutting
rice, and much of the early planted
crop has been harvested; late rice is
very promising; rice birds have ap-
peared in a few coast fields. Consid.
erable hay was cut and cured, in fine
condition. Peas are fruiting heavily re-

Mail Carried by Reindeer Team.


The capacity of the reindeer for
team work is remarkable. His hoofs
are very broad and do not penetrate
the snow crusts. His average weight
is about 400 pounds. He will swiftly
draw sled carrying GOO pounds, and
with this load can cover thirty, fifty
and even ninety miles a day. The
reindeer teams now carry the mails
from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, a
distance Of $50 miles-the most north
:rly post route in the world. No food
is carried for the deer. At the end
of his journey, or at any stopping
place, he is turned loose, and at once
breaks through the snow to the white
moss, which serves as food. 1t costs
nothing to feed him AS the white
settlements increase In the mineral
bearing parts of Alaska, and in many
places remote from railway and
steamboat transportation, the rein
deer express will be one of the most
important factors in territorial life.
