WEATHER AND CROPS.

Some Improvement in Cotton, But
Grass Still Serious Drawback.
Following is a report OF crop condi
tions as made by Section Director
Bauer:
The first OF the week ending Mon
day, JuEe 5th, was warm, the middle
portion cool, and the close had noTmal
temperature There was widespread
complaint that cool nights were unfa-
Vorable on cotton. There was more
than the usual amount Of sunshine
over the western and central parts,
and less than usual over the eastern
parts. There were local high, damag
ing winds in the northeastern coun.
ties on the 30th and 3lst accompany
ing thunderstorms.
A large portion Of the state had no
rain during the week, but there were
heavy rains in the east central, east
ern and southern counties Cn the 305h
and 3lst, further delaying farm work
and increasing the foulness OF corn
and cotton.
Farm work made rapid progress
over the larger portion Of the stste.
but cultivation is difficult owing to the
rank growth Of grass and weeds and
the rapid drying Of the soil which rem
dfrs it baked and crushed. The wealth
er was generally favorable for growth
of crops, and there Is a marked i'm
proyement noted where they have been
cultivated, but the general condition
OF all field crops Is still pocr.
There is a marked I'm provement in
cotton which looks well where worked,
especially on clay soils, but Is still
poor, yellow and small On sandy and
gray soils, with less complaint Of
plants dying than last week. Lice are
prevalent in the central and eastern
counties. There yet remains small
part OF the crop to chop to stanes.
Favorable progress was made in clean.
ing fields Of grass and weeds, but
much remains foul, and some will be
abandoned owing to the raok growth
ot grass and tie scarcity ct laborers
First squares have been noted in many
parls Of the state.
The condition Of corn is variable,
ranging from good to very poor, and
much OF the crop is suffering for want
of cultivation. In many places it is
selloa and urdersized. Where prop
erly cultivated it is fne. Bottom lan:;S
e destructive in southern couaties.
Rice looks fairly well. A large acre

the Georgeto"n district. Melons ere

too much rain. Oats are ripe and be

ranging from excellent to poor. Spring

being shipped; the quality is good,
but tire fruit Is small. In place, paacn-
