ticularly on tho light lands of,the state.
The Holds nro generally too wet to plow,
and graBs is getting troublesome in
some localities. The crop is just at its
critical stage, and tho next few week*
will decide as to the result. At thlt
dato I think the outlook poor for * full
crop In Georgia. Fair weather, wiib
occasional moderate rains, is what the
plant needs now, but in place of those
we are having oloudy weathor with
huary rains.
CORN.
This crop has improved wonderfully
In the past few weeks, and the state it
now almost sure of a plentiful supply
of this, our most valuable grain crop.
Tho vorv early corn In South and Mid-
dh) Georgia hits been seriously injured
by tlie dry weather of May and June,
slid yet in many easos this com, with u
dwarfod stalk, and looking as though it
would make nothing, has been revived,
has pnt out bold shoots and will make
three-fourths of a good crop. Tlie very
earlv corn Is but a small proportion of
the crop, and tho-4ost is making all that
tho land aud cultivation given tt renders
iiossiblo. Some reports state that car-
tain counties will make double tho crop
made last year, and all report oxcclleul
prospects. A large crop is now assured
tu South and Middle Georgia, and two
more weeks will make the crop safe In
North Georgia. There lias been soma
injury to bottom lands from excess of
moisture and inability on that account
to work them, but tn the aggregate thlt
does not amount to much.
