ing the past week and were beneficial
in the northern division, where ram

however, the rainfall was detrimental
to practically all crops. The heat
wave we're moderated considerably
toward the close of the week. Cotton
has made considerable growth and is
weedy. In many localities the crop
looks fine and large but is without
blooms or fruit. The cotton crop
seems generally to be fraiting poor
w and its general condition remains
poor. Weevil depredations continue
unabated. Early corn is practically
made and a good late and lowland
crop is assured by the rains this
week; fodder pulling was interrupt
ed in places by rams. Pastures are
fine; peanuts, sugar can, sorghum
and minor crops are doing well. Sweet
potatoes were somewhat injured by
standing water in the south, but the
crop generally is excellent. Early
pears are about harvested; late pear:
are light crop. Pecans are prom
