Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
Gives an Interesting Resume of the
Outlook for Crops Throughout the
Different Sections of the State.
The June Crop Report by the Geor
gia Department of Agriculture:
Although conditions are not as favor
able ast could be desired, there is great
Improvement la, many respects over
those that prevailed one year ago,
Corn and cotton; the great staple crops
of Georgia, are doing well in mpst
sections. There Is some increase in
the acreage of corn, and a decrease to
that of cotton; but the condition’s and
prospects of both are fairly good.
The outlook for sugar cane and rice
Is encouraging.
The products of our great commer
cial orchards were cut short by'late
froBts, but it is hoped that the fruit
which escaped will, by roason of ad
vanced prices, reward abundantly tbe
pare, and labor of the orchard men.
This Is especially true of the peach
crop. Apples, pears and plums are
far from promising, though there are
some few exceptions to this statement.
The melon crop in Borne places is
not up to tqc average; in others it is
doing well.
Grapes are fine In most sections, and
in some far above the average.
Gardens have suffered much for laolc
of rain, but good showers in some
localities have revived those that were
falling by reason of drought.

of political events as they arise from
time to time can not fail to interest those
who study publio questions.
