the fact that an important establish

GEORGIA PEANUTS
117,61O,OOO POUNDS
CROPS OF STATE SUFFERED
BADLY ROM BOTH RAIN
AND DROUTH.

The drouth during July and August
caused almost a complete failure OF
the corn crop in northern Georgia,
according to the monthly crop report
issued by Agricultural Statistician V.
c. Childs, of the United States bureau
of agricultural economics. All but the
vanced says the report, to benefit by
the rains during September.
Throughout the state as a whole,
says the report, the yield per acre will
average about the same as in 1928
with a slight increase in the acre
age harvested" Southern Georgia has
produced a much better crop, while
northern Georgia is considerably be-
low the 1928 production mark.
The fact that low yields of hay
are being realized where the corn crop
is shortest" the report says, tends to
aggravate the situation and indicates
a serious feed shortage in much OF
the northern half of the state.
There has been some local COM
plant of damage to corn in the fields
by continuous rains in September, es-
pecia11y where velvet beans were in
terplanted However the complaint
was not general and serious loss from
that cause is not expected. The Oct
LIST forecast of the United States corn
crop is 2,459,000,000 bushels, as com
pared with 3,046,000000 bushels har-
vested last year.
Peanuts have reached the end oil
the season with condition better than
last year, although still somewhat be-
low average The crop showed some
improvement during September, after
the August drouth had injured the
northern crop severely. Some instan-
ces have been reported where continu-
Gus rains damaged the crop in the
stack, but the extent OF this damage
has not been definitely ascertained.
THE Oct. 1st forecast for the Unit
ed States is 642,000,000 pounds, com
pared with 90, 100000 pounds har-
vested last year The following fore
casts were made for the leading states
Virginia, 85,215,000 pounds; North
Carolina, 156,608,000 pounds; South
Carolina. 27,216,000 pounds; Georgia,
III. $4,000 pounds; Florida. 58,499,000
pounds; Alabama, 98,790,000 pounds,
