— CROP IT Compiled by tbe Department of Agriculture. CONDITIONS AND AVERAGES. Bfm* ■«K«i wfM W *■ 0- rxStiWJi mim: &&Wx 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. ife' mm BS jfWgK , p$| NORTHERN SECTION.
