CROP CONDITIONS OVER THE SOUTH
TOLD BY REPORTS TO THE JOURNAL
Reports Will Be Printed Each
Month From the Best Infor
mation Obtainable Through
out the Different Sections
of the South
Following: the progressive policy of
The Journal, there will be gathered a
summary of the crops throughout the
southern states. Following are the re
ports:
ANNISTON, Ala..—Farmers in the An
niston district have been greatly de
moralized in their work by the storms
that have swept this section of the
state for the past several weeks. It
has been a long time since the soils
was dry enough for cultivation, and
wo^k is practically at a standstill.
Streams are up in every section, roads
have been gutted and bridges washed
away. The county has lost heavily
in that respect.
TENNESSEE.—While the recent
floods have delayed farming operations
somewhat, the farmers have, been busy
sowing oats and preparing ground for
corn whenever possible and all things
considered conditions ar§ as favorable
for a good crop year and farmers are
about as far advanced in their work
this year as formerly. The wheat
crop is in good shape, although the
acreage is somewhat less. Reports
Indicate that the acreage to be put in
oats will be slightly above the average.
The cold snap of the 27th nipped peach
blooms in. several sections. Grain and
seed dealers report an unusual demand
fur small seeds at this season.
JACKSON, Miss.—Taking the state as
a whole, planting operations are about
two weeks in advance of waht they were
at this season last year. According to
Prof. Pate, field agent for the A. £ M.
college, who, was in Jackson recently,
corn has. all been planted in the south
ern hill counties—that is below Jack-
. son, and a great deal of it ife up and
worke dout. Similar reports come from
the Yazoo-Mississippi valley, where corn
planting is now general. Quite a large
section of the delta was overflowed in
January and February, but just as soon
as the waters receded corn wp.s put in,
and if there is not another overflow the
delta will make more corn than ever
before. Superintendent Gathings, of the
penitentiary farm*, stated here two
weeks ago he was almost done planting
corn on more than 2,000 acres, and was
bedding up cotton lai#l. Rains have been
exceedingly heavy in .northern and cen
tral Mississippi during the past moth,
ad farmig operatios are behind. Here
at Jackson Pearl river has been spreal
out three miles wide, and creeks and
other small streams are just getting
back into their banks. The presence "bf
the boll weevil in south and central
Mississippi, all the way to the Missis
sippi river and 100 miles north of here,
will cause a heavy decrease in cotton
acreage, very little of which has been
planted so far.
GEORGIA COUNTIES.
PIKE—The conditions of crops
throughout Pike county are, generally
speaking, similar to what they were
last year at this ‘time. So much rain
has prevented planting, though a good
deal of the lands were plowed last .fall,
such farmers being fortunate, as there
has been very little chance for prepara
tion since Christmas. Planting will un
doubtedly be late, both of corn and cot
ton. Oats seem to be doing well.
COLQUITT—Colquitt county farmers
have their lands better prepared for
making a crop than they ha\*e ever
had them before at this date. The oat
crop is probably twice, the acreage of
any previous year, and the crop is look
ing well. Early corn is coming up. Cot
ton is being planted in many fields.
MUSCOGEE—Muscogee farmers are
buying much more fertilizers than usual
this spring, many preparing to great
ly increase tl^e cotton acreage. At the
same time they are diversifying, plan
ning to plant more grain. At the present
time the farmers are much behind with
work, owing to the continued rains,
which have kept the soil too wet* to
get the ground prepared for planting.
The farmers of this section are in
much better shape, financially, this year,
many of them having paid for their sup*
plies as they were purchased, y
WHITFIELD—Owing to protracted
rains, farmers are far behind with their
work this year. A fairly good grain
crop has been planted in Whitfield coun
ty; but here farm activities about
cease. Very little of the land has been
broken for the cotton crop, which
leaves that a matter for speculation. A
large corn crop will be planted.
MADISON—On account of much rain
the farmers in Madiidn county have
made but little preparation for the 1913
crop, but from all indications a good
crop will be made. More wheat and
oats have been sown than in preceding
years, and the crops are looking well.
The farmers, from all indications, seem
to be more economical than ever before,
and are preparing for a grain crop as
well as a cotton crop.
CLARKE—The crop conditions in
Clarke county are very unsatisfactory.
The farmers are blue and disheartened
on account of the continued rains, and
have been able to do but little work
of any description. No corn has been
planted and no preparations as yet for
the cotton planting. Small grain is look
ing well.
HALL—The farmers, of Hall county
are about as much behind with their
farm work at this time as they were
last year. None of them are ready to
plant corn as yet, have not prepared
their lands as they usually do before
planting and have not been able to do
so on account of the continual rains.
More oats and wheat has beeft plant
ed in this section than ever before and
the prospects for a good oat and wheat
crop are very fine.
CLAYTON—Deaf Sir: On account of
so much rain there has been but very
little preparation done by the farmers
toward starting of their crops. Up to
present date the prospects are very good
for a large fruit crop in Clayton county.
WARREN—Crop conditions in War
ren county are somewhat behind an av
erage for this month, but considerably
more plowing has been done now than
at this time last year. Practically no
corn has been planted, and no cotton
at all. Preparations are being made to
plant an average crop of cotton. Grain,
wheat and oats are good. These crops
are larger tl*an in many years.
FLOYD—Crops in Floyd county are
more favorable than they were at this
time last year. Despite frequent rains,
the farmers have been busy and have
made good progress with their work.
The prospects are good for the peach
crop as, contrary to fears, the recent
cold weather did no damage. There will
probably be an increased acreage of
corn, and a decreased acreage of cotton
this year.
WALKER—The crop condition in
Walker county is not so flattering in
asmuch as the heavy rains have delayed
the farmers. Not much work done yet.
The peach crop is badly injured, a large
per cent being killed. Wheat and oats
look well and promises to yield a good
harvest.
ROCKDALE—The farmers in Rock
dale county are badly behind in the
preparation of their lands on account
of the recent heavy rainfall. Condi
tions for, cotton and corn crops are
little better than at this time last year.
Very little guano has been hauled and
the situation is rather discouraging. The
outlook for grain crops is better than
it has been in years.
PULASKI—Farm work in this county
was progressig rapidly until stopped by
recent rains; and even now is much
further advanced than at this time last
year. Only 5 to 10 per cent of the
crop is actually in the ground now, but
nearly all the farmers have their lands
prepared, and if fair weather continues
today week will see most of the crop
planted. There will be a larger acreage

both of cotton and grain, than was
planted last year. Small grain is look
ing fine, and there will probably be the
largest crop of oats that thi& section
has ever produced.
TOWNS-~Crop condition in Towns
county are very bright, the farmers have
practically all of their plowing finishe,
and are ready for harrowing and plant
ing. We will have a large crop of wheat
and rye, with good prospects for other
crops.
DEKALB—The crop prospect in this
section is very gloomy,. No preparation
whatever having been made for plant
ing either corn or cotton crop, on ac
count of continuous rain. The farmers
have hauled only about two cars fertil
izer from Stone Mountain t° date. The
ground is still too wet to plow. Mr.
John F. McCurdy, one of our largest
farmers, who runs about fifteen plows,
has not run a furrow.
EARLY—The land in Early county is
better prepared than ever before. Ow
ing to weather conditions, planting has
been retarded. A great deal of fertilizer
is being used. The land is in ideal
shape for planting.
FAYETTE—The crop condition of
Fayette county is becoming alarming,
on account of the continued heavy rains.
Very little farm work has been accom
plished up to this time and much dam
age has been done on account of heavy
washing rains. Farmers are at least
thirty days behind in the preparation
for the coming crop. The prospects for
a good crop of oats is exceedingly
bright at this time.
CALHOUN—Crop conditions, very
promising three weeks ago, are now
nearly as backward as was the case a
year ago. Some corn has been planted,
but a good stand is doubtful, owing to
the recept very heavy rains. There will
probably be a slight decrease in fertil
izer used. Land better prepared than
was the case last year, but the low fer
tile bottoms will very likely again be
uncultivatable. The oat crop is good
and acreage increased. There will be no
increase in cotton acreage.
MCDUFFIE—Crop conditions in Mc
Duffie are very poor, being little, if any,
better than at the same time last year.
Scarcely any plowing has been done
since the first of January, and in many
instances where it was attempted, the
land was injured by being plowed too
wet. That the outlook at the present
time is very gloomy, is the opinion of
some of the best farmers of the county.
POLK—The frequent heavy rains
have delayed farm operations, and com
paratively little plowing has yet been
done.
JENKINS—Farming conditions ^ in
Jenkins county are generaly good. Fall
cats are looking well. Farm work is
well up and corn planting has been f gen-
eral. Heavy rains have retarded w*>rk
some, especially In low ground. Dis
tribution of fertilizers and final prep
arations now in progress. The acreage
will be about same as last year.
WHITE—Small grains generally
throughout the county are loking well,
and the prospects for a large yield is
favorable. Preparations for corn and
cotton are not advanced as they should
be, owing to weather conditions, but ad
vanced of what they were at this time
last year.
RABUN—Crop report: Oats, pros
pects fair with less acreage than last
year. Rye, short 'prospects with about
same acreage as 1912. Truck growing in
fair condition. Considered that the acre
age for corn slightly larger than 1912.
Farmers in advance with work compar
ed with last year, although having an
aboundance of rain.
TURNER—Favorable weather has
gjvep the farmers of this section an
opportunity to proceed with their work
to an appreciable extent. Crop condi
tions are a great deal better than at
the same time last season and unless
adverse Circumstances arise a greater
yield from all crops is expected. Much
new ground has been taken in this year
and most of the fertilizer having been
delivered, the prevailing spring weather
is being utilized for planting.
WILCOX—Work on the farms in this
section is well up to the average, and
farther advanced than at this time last
year. The heavy and continued rains
have delayed planting, but the farmers
have their lands all ready for putting
in the crop and with favorable condi
tions all seed will be in the ground
in the next week or two.
BULLOCH—The crop conditions in
Bulloch county, notwithstanding quite
a good deal of rain, are from one to
two months in advance of the condi
tions last year. Bulloch is. in the Sea
Island cotton belt and heretofore most
cf the cotton made here was Sea Island
cotton. This year, however, acting upon
the advice of the various cotton men,
both here and at Savannah, all of the
farmers are planting upland cotton to
the exclusion of Sea Island cotton, and
there will be only a minimum amount
of Sea Island cotton made in Bulloch
this season.
PUTNAM—Owing to continued spring
rains, farm work in Putnam has been
considerably delayed, and farmers have
been somewhat discouraged over the out
look. Much work done between rains
will have to be done over. More fall oat
crops than usual were planted, v with fine
success. Cotton acreage in many in
stances will be reduced, numbers of
farmers having bought cows and gone
into the dairying business with a success
ful co-operative creamery her^ and milk
routes daily from every section of the
county.
EMANUEL—Prospects are bright in
Emanuel for a good crop this year. Re
cent rains have caused some pessimis-
ticism, but no great damage has resulted
so far. Planting is going on, much corn
being in the ground now. More attention
is being given to the raising of food
stuffs than ever before. Cotton acreage
has been greatly reduced. Oats are nu
merous and prospects bright for the larg
est crop ever grown in Emanuel.
HART—Owing to the recent heavy
rains the farmers of Hart county are
greatly behind with their farm work. The
farmers are getting their guano and
making preparations for planting. Very
little plowing done up to this time but
with favorable weather conditions they
will soon be up with their work. Wheat
and oat crops are as good or possibly
better thati they have been in previous
years. *
OCONEE—The farmers of this section
are several weeks behind with their
work on account of the heavy rains dur
ing the past month. With the exception
of plowing done last fall, very little
fafm work has been accomplished. The
farmers, however, are not as blue over
the conditions as they were this time last
year because so much land was prepared
last fall. The grains, wheat and oats,
are in a splendid way, the largest grain
crop ever seen In this section before.
HABERSHAM—While almost constant
rains during the winter have given very
little opportunity for farmers to work
on the farms, still advantage was taken
of the pretty weather in the fall and as
.a result the farmers in Habersham
county are not so badly behind as in
some other counties. Lots of the corn
and cotton land was turned in the fall
and has had the winter freezes, and
small grain is looking fine. A pretty
April will enable farmers to get crops
planted.
MONROE—Due to the excessive rains
the farmers of Monroe county have been
able to do little toward preparing for
the 1913 season. What grain is up is
looking good, but little has been planted.
Those farmers who prepared their land
earlier in the season will have it to do
over again, and what has been plowed
has been plowed too wet. The farmers
in this section are about as far behind
as they were last year-r-the latest in
years.
HOUSTON—In January our farmers
began work in earnest and they have
broken up most of their lands. The past
several weeks have been wet and not
much plowing has been done. The farm
ers have been hauling out their fer
tilizers and putting top dressings on
the grain crops. The prospects for good
small grain crops are excellent and we
have a larger acreage of these crops
than last year. Corn planting will be
gin generally next week. The peach
crop has passed the most dangerous
period, and a large yield is expected.
JACKSON—On account of excessive
rainfall, extending over • the past four
month#, the soil of Jackson county has
been hurriedly and poorly prepared for
crop of 1913. Comparatively no plant
ing up to this time.
The small acreage of wheat planted
Is doing well.
Small crop of oats is in fine condi
tion.
No rye, alfalfa or clover to consider.
THOMAS—Crop conditions in Thomas
county are unusually promising and, with
no backsets a banner year is expected.
A large corn crop has been planted
and the watermelon acreage is a very
large one. The acreage in sweet pota
toes is also large and there are good
crops of Irish potatoes, hay, peanuts,
etc., planted. The early oat crop is the
finest in several years, the weather hav
ing been ideal for it.
DOUGLAS—The present crop pros
pects are very unpromising, indeed.
“Next to nothing,” they say has been
done on the farms. It is the judg
ment that conditions are much more
unfavorable than a year ago at this
date. Last year quite a good deal of
fall plowing had been done—this past
fall, less, perhaps, than in the history
of the county. As a result of this state
of things and the continued inclement
weather, our farmers are blue.
TELFAIR—Excessive rains have in
terfered with planting. No corn up yet.
Finest oat 'prospects in the history of
the county. About the same acfreage
will be planted' to cotton owing to the
opening of new farms. Barley and some
rice are being grown here.
DOOLY—Owing to heavy' rains during
February and March the ground has
been in no condition for planting in
Dooly. Some corn and a very little
cotton has been planted, and corn will
have to be replanted. A heavy acreage
has been planted in oats, which crop is
showing exceptionally well. The acreage
in cotton will probably be cut as a re
sult of the heavy oat planting.
TIFT—Tift county will have the
largest acreage in cultivation in its
history of agriculture. The land was
never so well prepared, and crop condi
tions at this time were never more
promising. The increased acreage is in
corn, oats and vegetables. The cotton
acreage will not be increased. There will
be 300 acres of cantaloupes, 200 acres
of watermelons and 250 adres in cucum
bers, beans, tomatoes, squash, oabbage
and berries and 200 in sweet potatoes.
DODGE—In spite of the fact that this
section has recently had several very
heavy rains that have done considerable
damage to plantations by washing off
the top soil, the preparation for farm
work is further advanced at this season
than it has been for several years. If
the weather conditions remain for many
days as it is now, there will be a great
deal of corn and cotton planted within
the next few days. The oat crops all
over the county are fine, and with con
tinued good seasons v a splendid yield is
predicted. t
SPALDING—The farmers of this
county have been unable to do any work
so far this spring on account of the
continued rains. Land that should have
been broken up weeks ago and by now
ready for planting is water covered and
all farm operations at a standstill. The
oat crop is fine, but what little wheat
was planted is almost a complete fail
ure.
CHEROKEE—It is conceded by orch-
ardists in this section that the peach
crop is safe, and a fine yield is ex
pected. On account Of continued rains,
farmers in Cherokee will be unable to
do any work for several weeks. Crops
of every kind will be unusually late,
many lowlands are submerged and even
high lands too wet for plowing.
HANCOCK—On account of continued
rains farmers are behind in their farm
ing operations in Hancock county. Some
good soil breaking and general prepara
tions were begun in January, but heavy
rains have since washed and packed
this ground so as to make that work
almost worthless. Just about Ume
the wind and sun dries the ground
enough to begin plowing, another down
pour of rain comes. Hancock farmers
can catch up how, if the rains cease at
once.
CHATTAHOOCHEE—Owing to so
much rain during the ,year, slow prog
ress has been made in preparing lands
for this crop. Some corn being planted
but soil being packed by heavy rain,
is conceded that poor stands of corn
will be the result. Farmers are one
month behind with their work .in this
section. Hard freeze here. Think fruit
all killed. Farmers very much discour
aged on account of so much rain.
FORSYTH—The acreage of fall oats
sown in Forsyth cotinty is the largest
ever known. The prospects for an abun
dant oat crop looks promising at this
time. The recent heavy rains has
kept the farmers down to very little
spring work. Though quite a lot of
turning and breaking out of stalk land
was done in January.
MONTGOMERY—Farm work in this,
Montgomery countv, has been greatly
retarded by recent excessive rains.
Work was well up. at the time fains
came. Prospects are that a large
crop will be planted. The oat crop is
in excellent condition and promises an
abundant yield.
EFFINGHAM—Truck crops badly
damaged by March rains. Stand poor.
Corn planting pretty well advanced,
with upland well prepared. Sugar cane
prospect not as good as last year;
large per cent of the seed cane damaged
aged. Cotton land much behind in
preparation; all farm work badly delay
ed by the March rains, and low land
hardly prepared at all. Prospect behind
normal.
BERRIEN—Rain has caused crops to
be backward in Berrien county. The
cotton crop will be cut and more atten
tion will be given corn, potatoes, pea
nuts, etc. The 1913 .crop will be good
with fair weather.
DAWSON—Spring plowing has beer,
very much retarded on account of the
excessive rains. There has been prac
tically nothing done in the bottom lands
in the way of cultivation yet. There is a
fair acreage of u neat and oats in good
condition.
TALIAFERRO.—While the farmers
in this section have their lands in a
little better condition than at the same
time last year the continued rains will
make planting late. No corn has been
planted. The oat crop Is doing well,
and if conditions are favorable from
now till harvest time this county will
make more than an average yield.
DECATUR—Weather conditions for
farming have been excellent this season
in Decatur county which has been tak
en advantage of by the farmers. Winter
plowing has been more general than ever
before and at present there is every pros
pect for large crops. Cotton acreage will
remain practically what it was last year
but will have a better start owing to
weather conditions being more favorable
this year than last. More oats were
planted in this county last fall than ever
before and an abundant crop is in pros
pect. Altogether the prospects are ex-"* i
cellent for bumper yields.
TERRELL,—Crop conditions in Terrell
county are on the whole most, favorable.
The farmers have given closer attention
to preparation than they have for years.
While tne recent rains have been very
heavy the deep plowing and scientific
terracing' have kept the land from wash
ing so badly. The corn crop is looking
well and there is little more to be plant
ed. A bumper oat crop is expected from
present indications. Cotton planting is
well under way and in a very short time
cultivating will begin. The outlook is
bright and generally speaking the rarm-
ers are hopeful.
JASPER—The oat and wheat crops are
fitie and better than has been in many
years. No corn has been planted, and
will be« about 30 days late. The cotton
crop will be late even if the weather per
mits plowing from this time on. Indi
cations are that crop conditions in gen
eral compared with last year are no bet
ter.
SUMTER—Torrential rains during'* the
past two weeks has greatly changed cot
ton crop conditions in south Georgia.
Lands prepared for planting have been
washed and solidified, and all advantage
gained by early plowing has been entirely
lost as the result of unpropitious weath
er. Conditions are far less favorable now
ffhan at {his period last year. Fields
planted in corn are being plowed up and
the corn crop replanted. The oat crop
is in fine condition and very prom
ising.
WASHINGTON—Owing to the 'severe
and continued rain storms through this
section for the past month or six weeks,
the farmers are very much delayed in
planting their crops. The prospects so
far, are not so good, as they were even
last year. They are devoting more time
to stock raising and different things as
a money crop without having to raise
so much cotton.
CARROLL—The farmers of this county
on account of the extreme wet weather
have been able to do little work towards
preparing another crop. Crop conditions
so far are about the same as the spring
of 1912. Wheat and oats are growing
nicely. Unless the wet weather, breaks
within the next few days, it will be •im
possible to make a full crop, as practic
ally no land has been prepared for culti
vation.
WORTH—The farmers of Worth county
have made splendid progress in Way of
preparing their lands for planting. But
the heavy rains of March have retarded
the work no little. Usually at this time
much corn and a great deal of cottbn
have been planted, but from the best
information possible we learn that very
little seed has been put in the ground
as yet. The prospects are fine for a
good oat crop.
GORDON—The farmers of Gordon coun
ty are far behind with their work. In
some cases little or nothing has been
done in preparation of the soil. Only a
small number of farmers plowed in the
fall and these of course are in much bet
ter shape. The rye and oat crops will
be above the average this spring both
in quality and iry quantity.
MURRAY—Wheat and oats are better
than usual at this time of the year. There
is a larger acreage of oats and not so
much wheat planted. Crops of other kind
are not planted but a great deal of prep
aration has been and is being made.
DADE—Wheat and oat crop in Daxie
county looks promising. Owing to wet
weather farmers are generally behind.
About the average of all crops will be
planted.
BALDWIN—The oat crop is in ex
cellent condition except in some few
cases, where lowland crops were dam
aged. No spring crops have been plant
ed as the land has been too wet to
fix for corn and it ts yet too early
for cotton in this section of the state.
Hovrever, with suitable weather for the
next week there is no doubt but that
much corn will be planted and cotton
will be put in the ground soon.
LUMPKIN—Owing to almost con
tinuous rains crop conditions in Lump
kin cotinty are greatly retarded. In fact,
up to date very little work has been
done toward a new crop. The outlook is
not encouraging. Faramers are becom
ing discouraged. Yet there is time for
this condition to become retrieved in
this section if the weather should clear
up within a few days.
WARE—Except in a few instances
crop conditions in Ware and adjoining
counties are very good. The oat crop
this season is going to be a hummer.
It is hard to forecast the corn crop
but it will be large this year although
late planting may cause it to be a lit
tle late. In Ware very little cotton will
be raised. The acreage of new ground
taken in this spring is reported to be
between 15 to 20 per cent.,
GLYNN.—Crop conditions In Glynn,
are possibly above normal. Oats are
in splendid shape with increased acre
age. A large diminution Is noted in
rice planting, the crop Having proven
less profitable than heretofore. Irisn
potatoes more extensively planted, arc
doing well on high ground—but on the
river bottoms have been affected by
the waters.
Sea Island cotton has more acreage
and the short staple will aiso get in
creased attention.
ECHOLS—The present outlook is # fine
for a good crop this year in this coun
ty. - The farmers have their lands in
C0MERSVILLE NOW
UNDER MARTIAL LAW
CONNERSVILLE, Ind.^ March 29.—
Brookville is practically Under martial
law today. Twenty men were driven out
of the city when discovered looting.
Two hundred and fifty citizens rescued
from the flood have only night clothes
and wagon trains are carrying food
and clothing from Connersville to the
stricken people.
good condition and partially planted.
The rainfall has been sufficient so far,
and if it continues good this year's
crop will be far better than last year’s
crop.
BAKER—Crop conditions are fine for
the‘time of year. The oat crop is fair
and the people are having ideal weather
for planting cotton and corn. Mostly all
of the people are now planting their
crops.
CLAY.—The farmers vf the county
have been delayed for three weeks on
account of heavy rains which have
done considerable damage. Many farm
ers are planting corn while in some
sections of the county they have fin
ished.
Cotton planting will begin soon. The
guano sales are a little off ror the time
of the year but the farmers are still
moving the guano out to the fields and
it is thought that quite as much will
be sold this year as last. •
BUTTS.—Held in check by continual
and excessive rains, the farmers of
Butts county are from a month to six
weeks behind with their work. No
crops have been planted as yet ana
but littlfe soil has been prepared for
the 1913 season. Oats, of which there
is the largest acreage ever recorded
locally, are doing well. Reliable in*
formations, is to the effect that the
cotton acreage will be about the same
as last year, though the corn clUb
movement has stimulated Corn produc
tion considerably in Butts county.
MARION.—Owing to the very long
continued heavy rains in this county
the crop conditions are very bad..
Very little planting has been done,
and much' of the preparations that, had
been done before the rains will have
to be done over, which will throw the
farmer 15 to 20 days behind. ■'
JOHNSON.—Almost all the lands
have been unusually well prepared, but
the excessive rains have prevented any
planting. The heavy sales of fertil
izers denote that the farmers are
hopeful. More grain is growing In
this county than ever before. It seem?
that the high price and scarcity of
feedstuff's has caused more attention to
be devoted to this line of farming. A
great deal of corn wm be planted.
Present indications point to a decrease
of cotton acreage.
