are predicted. Both the farmers and
business men are optimistic
Nashville, Ga.-Crop conditions In
Berrien county have not been better
in ten years. The spring oat yield
was above the average and the corn
and cotton yield bids fair to eclipse
any crop year within a decade.
Toccoa, Ga.-Crop conditions In
Stephens county and northeast Geor-
gia are good, and indications at the
present time point to a rich harvest.

county looks forward to good bust
ness year, good crops and fair prices.

tions. crop outlook In Walker county Is
better than for years. The unusually

chants to buy in very large quanti-
tres for the fall and winter trade.
Douglas Ga.--rThe crop outlook in
this county is the finest In its history.
Farmers from every section report ext
cellent crops Of corn, peas, potatoes
and sugar cane. Sea island cotton Is
above the average. while upland cot
ton Is fair.
Zebulon, Ga.-Crops in this section
are equal to the average Of the last
two or tire years. Corn Is now safe
and is generally good. Cotton that
was well cultivated Is looking well
and promises a pretty fair crop.
Columbus, Ga.-Columbus is pre-
pairing for what the merchants believe
will be one Of the best fall seasons
In years. The crops in this section
of the state have been good, although
the hot wave OF the past few days
has had a bad effect on cotton The
stocks now being ordered by mer-
chants are the largest bought since
before the panic. Columbus will en-
ter the new cotton season with prac-
tically no stock on hand In the local
warehouses. The high prices Of the
past few weeks resulted in the sale
OF thousands of bales here, reducing
the stocks to practically nothing.
Augusta, Ga--Augusta and Rich
mond county are looking for the
greatest fall business in the history
of the community. The cotton is in
an excellent condition and corn Is
almost as good.
Macon, Ga-An entire decade has
hardly afforded a more prosperous
season for the farmers in Bibb coun-
ty. Already truck farming and gar
dening has proved highly profitable.

handsome cash returns for sales have
worked to put the early troopers far
ahead of anything done In recent sea-
sons
Jackson, Ga-Crops In Butts coun-
ty are generally declared to be the
best In several years. This is par
ticularly true Of cotton, which Is sur
passing the expectations of the most
sanguine. Unless unforeseen obsta-
cles come up within the next few
days this county will produce one
of the largest crops in its entire his
tory. Corn, too, is looking well. The
majority Of farmers have harvested
their fodder, which, on account Of Ia
vorable weather conditions, is up to
the usual high standard Of excellence.
Forage crops and truck are looking
we'll.

harvested in Crawford county this
year than ever before. Cotton has a
prospect for larger crop than in %
years. Other crops fine; large Quanti-
ties Of grain gathered.
Cumming, Ga. With few excep-
tionss, the crop outlook for Forsyth
county is the best in years. On low
lands, the corn crop Is not so good
but on high bottom and upland a
bumper crop is almost assured. Cot
ton is the best ever.
Preston, Ga-The consensus of ex-
preston is, the corn crop is made,
and the best for years The pea
crop is unusually promising and bids
fair for fine yield. The cotton
outlook will be shorter than is indi-
Gated from the luxuriant growth at
tanned; forms much more scattered
than usual; on sandy soil, black-root
Is affecting its vitality. 1t has re-
Quired less expense to make this
crop.

heavy and continuous rains in North
Georgia for the past two months,
there will not be more than a half
crop in our county this year.
Milledgeville, Ga.-Reports received
from the various plantations indicate
a spotted condition of cotton, depend
ing on the character of the soil and
the work given. The red land crops
that are clean are good some of the
gray land crops very poor.

tory Of Clay county has such corn
crops been grown, but cotton crops
are below ten year average at this
time Of the year.

good In Gilmer county this year as
they were last year. In the spring
bottom lands suffered from too mucn
rain, but they are now coming out
and look promising
