 T was impressed by the crops between Birmingham and Baltimore" said the city attorney The Lord certainly has been good to Alabama and southern Georgia but from a little north of Atlanta on up to Baltimore the crops as far as I was able to judge are simply burned up The frelds look dry and parched.
 Tt was terribly hot all the time was gone. and understand 1t was equal ly as warm here, but the absence of rains in the section north of us is no doubt the cause of the bad crop conditions. In Alabama and especially in the southern half of Alabama and Georgia I under stand that the crops are in good condi- tion."
