While there has been general i'm
provement in all crops. soaking rains
arc needed over the middle and south
ern counties, where drought continues
The rains thus far received have been
sufficient to bring cotton to generally
good stands. however. and chopping
is being pushed; the nights have been
too cool for best growth, and there is
some complaint of grass. Corn is
growing rapidly. Tobacco, field truck
.ahd gardens are improving, and Gu
cumber shipments have begun; the po-
tato and bean harvests are about
finished; cantaloupcs show irregular
growth. The grain harvests continue;
oats show a, short crop, but wheat,
though short in stray, shows better
results, in some districts being con
siderably better than was expected
Early peaches are ripening. Pastures
generally are still short.

that the proper construction Of the
