Tiie Auaust crop teport' of the State
was made public to-day. It is baaed: on
relurps Irom 90 counties by 050 corres
pondent?. Wt month's report showed
great damage by excessive and continuous
... rains The August report shows Just (he
opposite. Climatic conditions,'
. ctssive dryness and ' intense' heat' have
caused a great deal of ' apprehension
- among the farmers, together with lessen
ing nf ibe prospects generally while io
'.Siime localities the drought was , extreme.
.'The general average given below shows
considerable decrease in the Conditions
vm compared with July. ' While the dam-
,.jige has beeb considerable, yet with fuvor-
i ble weather, such as that of this week
.Ake ml contritions may improve from
' now on. Bice is 86 against 91 in July,
.81J ye,,r Kr; upland rice suffered more
.than Liwland. Corn is 80. a fulling off
often points since July; in 1805 it was

74J In 1893..V As many reports came d
Vtatore tbo full effects of the drought and

5 against 91 for July and 86 in August
