crops have , been materially ' Injured
thereby.: . Very warm, dry weather hat
been almost uninterrupted alnce July
1st, and although sho were occurred gen
erally Thursday evening, (12th.) the
amount of rainfall was very email and
did hardly more than temporarily revlvt

week was moderate but still above nor

towards the close.' The sunshine was
abundant and conditions generally quite
favorable for farm work, to that killing
grass and weeds made ., rapid progress,
and laying by crops It approaching com

The condition of crops la still fairly
good, bnt all are suffering considerably
from drought,, ertept perhaps In tht
mountain districts. . This It especially
true of eorn.Vibacco, minor crops and
gardens, while cotton appears to have
stood the drought so far remarkably well
as Jew reports of.damage to that Crop
were received, - While not growing very
rapidly,' cotton haa still a healthy ap

fruit fairly well. It la reported to be fail'

to excellent condition by timely rains,
Tobacco hat also been Injured, and In

Harvesting oats and rye la practically
