 The Reports.
 Autauga county-w. w. Wadsworth; ; daV der most favorable conditions will not average over so per cent. Oat crop most Axcellent; corn crop about 90 per cent. Baldwin County--W. c. Dinwiddie Cotton 50 per cent better than appeared 30 days ago. Will have 80 per cent crop. Other crops are fairly good only but may yet average up well. Autuga County-McQueen Smith Average conditions 70 per cent, with most favorable condition 80 per cent.
 Barbour County-S. H. Dent: This county has made 34,000 bales of cotton. Under favorable conditions it promises 27.0o0 to 29,O00 bales. Under most favorable conditions, 1t might make from soOo0 to 32O00 bales, but it Is all to be made as cotton is late. Con- ditions of corn 75 per cent to 80 per cent; cane S5 per cent to 90 per cent; peas late, potatoes late.
 Barbour County-H. Hawkins: With favorable conditions from now on prob able cotton crop 75 per cent. Under most favorable conditions 85 per cent. Corn, peas. potatoes, etc, 75 per cent.
 Biount County-W. A. Ellis: With average conditions we might get SO per cent to s5 per cent of cotton crop. With most favorable conditions, not over 75 per cent Corn fairly good Hay crop poor.
 Bullock County-S. P. Rainer: Cotton poor, average condition 60 per cent. Under most favorable conditions will make 75 per cent. Corn Is doing very we'll Having too much rain.
 Bullock County-E. Napier: Condi- tions 70 per cent. Favorable seasons may make B per cent.
 Calhoun County-James Cook: Crop from twenty to thirty days late and the stand poorest ever known. With average conditions not more than 50 per cent of a normal crop can be reasonably expect ed, and most favorable conditions 65 per cent would be a liberal estimate. Corn fairly good.
 Calhoun County-W-EY. Jones: Under most favorable conditions from now on it hardly seems possible to make more than three-fourths of a normal crop. With 4-5 of stand at best, and 5 per cent deduction owing to abandonment makes the above amount correct The crop is fully twenty-five days late, the plant very small. though healthy and growing. As general thing fields are in fairly good shape. I think 15 cents
