SOUTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.

Tie South Carolina section of the
climate and crop service Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture issues the
following official bulletin Of weather
and crop conditions for the past
week:
The week ending Monday, septem-
ber 11th, was from two to three de-
grees cooler than normal, with week
ly extremes Of maximum of 81 de-
grees at Blackville on the 7th and
minimum of 81 degrees at Greenyille
on the 5th.
The weather was generally clear
and the air dry with somewhat moro
than the usual amount Of bright sun
shine.
There were showers, some quite CO.
pious, in the eastern and southern
counties, but over the greater portion
of the State there was no rain; or
1inappreciable amounts,
The general absence Of rain was
favorable for general farm work, but
was unfavorable on growing crops
which deterioated slightly over all
but the coast counties where there
was improvement. Late corn needs
more moisture in the central coun-
ties.
3; There was NO marked change IN
the condition of cotton. In some To-
ealities there was a slight improve
ment and the plants continue to fruit,
while in others there was steady
deterioration due to rust and the pre-
mature opening Of small bolls. The
fruiting season is now over as what
fruitage is taken on after this time
is very unlikely to mature. On san
dy soils the plants are shedding
leaves and have stopped growing.
while on clay soils, and over the west
e1n counties generally, the plants
continue green except where attacked
by rust. The mature bolls are OPEN
ing rapidly and i'll many places half
or more, OF the crop mas Deen PlcAeo
Sea Island cotton has improved and
as picking progresses the yields are
better than anticipated, while the
lint is excellent quality. Some open
cotton was injured by heavy rain IN
few central counties, but generally
the lint has been saved in fine con-
dition.
And but very late corn has been
stripped OF fodder. Haying made
good progress. Truck is coming up
we'll in the southern districts and
poorly in the northern ones. The
general condition Of minor crops is
less promising though still fairly
good. w. Bauer, Section Director.
