WEATHER AND CROPS.
Plenty of Rain, Much Of 1t Was Badly
Needed Too.

Needed Too.
In his weather and crop report Sec
tion Director Bauer says that the
mean temporary te for the week end
Ing Monday, Aug. 14bh, was slightly
above normal, over the eastern half
and slightly below over the western.
The extremes were q maximum Of 1903
degrees at Blackvllle on tie 8th, and
a minimum Of ga degrees at Green
vile On the 9th. There was less than
the usual amount Of sunshine. High
winds, damaging to corn and cotton,
prevailed during the middle of the
week in the western counties. Bot
tom lands yer flooded alongathe up
per portions Of the Saluda, Broad,
Wateree and Great Pee Dee rivers and
their tributaries, and considerable
corn destroyed.
The long drought was broken over
the entire state The rainfall was
heaviest In the central counties where
1T amounted, in places. to over six
inches, and was least In Beaufort and
Georgetown counties, where 1t was
generally less than half an inch.
There was rain nearly every day and
the ground Is now thoroughly satur.
ated. The rain was needed and in
places sawas very beneficial, but In
others 1t caused deterioration In crops,
especially cotton, and interferred with
farm work, especially haying and
pulling fodder. Nearly all crops have
been laid by, and further cultivation
is now impracGicable.
With very few exceptions, the re-
ports on cotton indicate rapid deteri.
grafton due to excessive shedding,
rust and the plants turning yellow.
These conditions prevail over prac,i
Gully the entire state, but are most
marked on sandy lands. In many
places growth has stopped, while In a
few plants are making new growth.
Bolis are opening rapidly In the south
central ccunties and considerable has
been picked. Tue excessive heat of
the 9Th, 9th, 7th and 8th was very
damaging on cotton.
There Is a general IMPROVEMENT In
the condition Of the late corr due to
the ample moisture which came Oh
