i 8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOFRNAL, ATLANTA, GA„ TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1913. CROP CONDITIONS OVER THE STATE TOLD BY REPORTS TO THE JOURNAL TWIGGS—Fields are in good condi tion. Corn unusually small. Stand of cotton poor. Crop will be very late on account late coming up, if it comes up at all; no seeds to plant over should it be necessary. RANDOLPH—A general rain has broken the six weeks’ drouth and has materially helped all classes of farm ers. Everybody more optimistic than in April. HENRY—Crops two to ..three weeks late. Good stand of cotton; chopping has just begun; acreage 5 per cent less; above the usual amount of fertilizers used. Wheat and oats very poor. SCHLEY—The crops in this section are very backward. We have a poor stand of corn throughout the county. T^n per cent of cotton crop up and do ing well. About 5 per cent of cotton crop is not planted. We have not yet had a sufficient rainfall to bring up cotton all over the county. PAULDING—Crop conditions have greatly improved within the last few weeks in Paulding county. Plants are small, though good stands are noted. Cotton especially is rapidly growing under the best of a summer’s sun. Lack of rain retarded corn plants, bat since the recent rains growth is perceptible. WEBSTER—Crop prospects, especial ly as to cotton, are very poor on ac count of the drouth of seven week’s duration. The cotton that was planted failed to a great extent to come up. I hear farmers say that not more than a third of the crops of this county al ready have come up, and many are waiting for rain to plant again. Corn crops are good, but oats have not turned as well as hoped for. JENKINS—Crops in this section are in good condition. Fair stand of cot ton. Corn and cotton well advanced. Fair crop of oats. Rains have been very light, but sufficient to keep crops supplied. CLARKE—-The crop conditions since the recent rains have changed for the better in Clarke county. The farmers coming into Athens report fair stands of cotton and corn. Indications are that cotton will be a week or ten days late. The wheat crop is good, and early oats are showing uo well. HEARD—The farmers of Heard coun ty are greatly encouraged over the re cent rains during the last few days. They have good stands of cotton and are preparing bottom lands that got too hard to plow during the last dry spell. Crops generally are ahead of what they were last year, about one-third more work ha* been done up to now more than last yea" at the same time. BARTOW—Crop porspects in rsartow county best in years. Farmers well up with work. Good stand of cotton and corn and crops clean and soil well pre pared. Grain crop larger and better than usual. A large corn crop planted. Aver* age acreage in cotton and more attention to diversified farming, cattle and hog raising. Farmer® in better condition in this county than ever before, and owe less money. Th ? s bids fair to be one of the best agricultural yeais in the coun ty’s history. - APPLING—According to report of Mr. Roy Rogers, farm demonstration agent, the crops of Appling county are in good condition, considering the dry weather which has prevailed. The acre age of cotton thas been reduced con siderably. More velvet beans have been planted than ever, before. Numbers of a i 'os of cotton have been plowed up and planted ever, but that and all other props which are up, are making rapid growth. The 225 c^rn club boys have things looking much better than could ever have been expected the first of the year. CHATTAHOOCHEE.-r-Poor stands of •cotton throughout the county on ac count of dry weather. Some rain fell •recently but very much ;ln need of more. Good deal of cotton being planted over on account of no stands. Will make cotton four to five weeks late. Oats complete failure. Corn small and needing rain. Farmers very much dis couraged over crop prospects. PICKENS.—The long drought in this section has caused the situation to be come quite serious with the farmers. Little cotton has come up and in many Don’t Send Me One Cent W-hen you answer this announcement, es I am going to mall you a brand new pair of my wonderful “Perfect Vision” Blasses (known In the spectacle business ma "lenses”) absolutely free of charge as IB advertisement.

The corn has not suffered like cotton, and there is the best prospect for a good corn crop*in Pickens county as has ever been. The fall oats have not suffered on account of the long drought and will make a good crop, while the spring oats are almost a com plete failure. TURNER.—In spite of the fact that no good general rain, has come in sev eral weeks and things are getting very dry the condition is encouraging. The corn that was planted early is in good shape and the crop is about 90 per cent. Cotton is doing well, although some have planted the second and third time. The crop is about 80 per cent. The oat crop is light, being about 25 or 30 per cent off on account of the drought. Cantaloupes are in good con dition and we may look for some early shipping. CARROLL.—Indications Tor a crop in Carroll county are much better than last month. Light showers over the county have helped cotton and a good stand is general. The rain here this morning will greatly benefit corn and grain. The farmers are chopping their cotton, and with the exception of its being lath on account of the dry weather the prospect for a crop is good. TIFT.—Oats are being harvested; fall planted are good. Spring oats are popr owing to d£y weather. Truck crops cut off half owing to dry weather. Corn crop good and in fine shape. Cotton where planted early came up good. Later planting poor stand, but showers recently will make good stand. Crops are all in good shape and clean of grass. PUTNAM.—Good rains during the past four days have encouraged Put nam's farmers greatly, although many are still disheartened and discouraged over the more than three weeks’ drought and occasional cold spells during that time. Poor stands of both cotton and corn are reported from all sections of the county and many farm ers are replanting. The recent visit of about a dozen farmers of Putnam to the state agricultural college, at Ath ens, means much for the county. Even with poor seasons and stands, with their cows and a successful co-opera tive creamery to fall back upon, the situation is brighter than it would be otherwise. ECHOLS.—The present crop condi tions ar^ somewhat more promising than they were thirty days ago, as we have had some rain recently. The corn crop is fairly good. It is small, but in a healthful condition. The most of the cotton will be late, as it was too dry at the proper time to get it up. COLQUITT*—General rains have fall en the past weeks and crop prospects are greatly improved. Late cotton which was not up before the rains is now coming up. • The corn acreage is large, the stands good and the condition above the average. Oats are being harvested, and the acreage is large. They were damaged first by rust and later by drouth, but a fair crop is being made. Watermelons are bearing, cantaloupes look well and pinders are growing rap idly and are free from grass. DAWSON.—The recent light rains have insured a fair stand of cotton in this section, other crops have withstood the continued dry weather nicely and are well worked and clean. SUMTER.—The cotton crop prospect in Sumter county is the poorest ever known at this season. Only one half the crop is up, and stands are generally poor. There has been no rain here in eight weeks, and while cotton has been twice replanted the seed cannot come up until it rains, and k large portion of the replanted seed are rotting in the ground. Farmers are decidedly blue at the prospect. There are no more cotton seed to be had for another replanting of the crop. The oat crop is turning out a 50 per cent yield, due to rust and drouth. The corn crop is poor and needs rain very much. WHITFIELD.-^—A protracted rainy season has delayed farm activities for the past few weks, interfering with the planting of lowland corn. Farmers have cotton ready for chopping, and upland corn is well advanced for this season. Whitfield farmers have planted an aver age cotton crop, while much land has been planted in corn. The small grain crpps look unusually fine. V THOMAS.—General rains throughout Thomas county have greatly improved crop conditions within the past two weeks. Late plantings of cotton have come up and that already up has put on fresh growth. Corn generally is in fine condition. Watermelon vines are growing off rapidly and the vines full of young fruit. Cantaloupe prospects also good for fine yield. Much of the oat crop has been harvested and the yield is above the average in spite of the threatened failure of the crop from rust. DEKALB.—Crop prospects in this section fair. Although cotton is at least three weeks late, good stands are gen erally reported. The prospect for good corn crop is excellent. Wheat and oat crop good. Abundance of rain here re cently, which was badly needed. The farmers are well up with their work and ready to chop cotton and harvest the wheat crop. H FORSYTH.—The recent rains have brought up an abundant stand of cotton, many fields of whic.* had been planted four weeks or more and not a seed sprouted. seems that the corn has been doing its best. Wheat over the county is above an average and a record-breaking oat crop is now almost assured. PIKE.—The continued rains have brightened* the crop prospects in this section considerably, where stands of corn and cotton have been obtained, though in a number of instances farm ers haven’t finished planting. The rains came too late to help oats or wheat. The outlook is mucii more promising. JOHNSON—The grain crop has been unusually good, but was retarded by the drouth. Corn and cotton, though late, are very promising, since the rain. If the weather conditions continue fa vorable this county will produce about 75 per cent as much cotton as last year on account of decreased acreage, while a great deal more corn will be produced. TOWNS—The prospect for wheat and rye in this section is fine. The acreage is larger than usual. The acreage in corn is much larger than last year. The farmers have their crops in fine condition and with good seasons we will have fine crops. WHITE—Cotton is fairly good.. Wheat is a little better than the average. Oats are excellent. Corn is better than eith er of the two previous years. Farmers are welL up with their work and the re cent rains have been very encouraging. BUTTS—Cotton is coming up nicely, though here and there a field will have to be planted over. Some farmers are now chopping their cotton. Corn is do ing well, and there appears to be a larger acreage than usual. The farm ers are busy now harvesting their oats, the acreage and yield of which is the largest know here in years. The rain has put the farmers in an optimistic mood and they are bending all their ef forts towards producing a good crop. M’DUFFIE—Cotton in McDuffie is more backward than at this season last year. The first planting was killed by the cold nights. The second planting has been greatly damaged by the con tinued drouth and in many instances a third planting has been necessary. Corn is normal for this season. A good small grain crop has been made. HART—Farmers of Hart county are well up with their work. Good stands of cotton and in good healthy condition. Corn, wheat and oat crops are fine, ex cept late oats. Recent rains have greatly benefited all crops, and the rain was general over the county. WILCOX—The crop condition of Wil cox is very poor indeed. Not over 40 per cent of the cotton planted has come up, on account of continued^routH. In some localities the cotton seed has been in the ground from five to six weeks. A good many farmers have planted their land twice and have failed to get stands of cotton. HANCOCK.—The major portion of the county has had no rain in seven to eight weeks, consequently have very little cotton up. During the past 30 days we had cold nights that killeu cotton that was.up. In two other sec tions two heavy rains have fallen; also some hail. These sections also poot stands of cotton on account of pack ing the ground and the cool spell. Corn looks fairly well and the oat crop In some sections good, especially fall- planted oats. CHEROKEE,—Notwithstanding the fact that there has been but little rain during the spring months, crops in Cherokee are very promising. Cotton is well up and growing rapidly, and the corn and small grain crops are fine. Lands are in splendid condition and the farmers all through this section have a bright outlook. tr5 ACI ^ SON ' —The condltl n of the Cot ton and corn crpps at present Is about ®° per C T' The dry weather Is.pre- plants from growth and much seed has never come up.

STEWART.—The farmers are very blue. The crop outlook in Stewart county Is the poorest in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. There has not been moosture enough to bring up the cotton seed. Some say they haven’t any very® poof n ? Iant ' The corn cr °P is very poor. Oats are being cut hut are considerably cut off. The drought ,seems to be general in this section. “ dro 1 ?ght K Tn A '7h? WinS ., t0 a Protracted drought in this section, not more than °/ 8 Stand oT ^n has been obtained up to date. Showers general throughout the county rece^riv Z " ra4ieve this condition, but the delay In getting a stand will bake the cron at least 30 days late. A small decrease », acreage is reported. LUMPKIN.—The crop outlook for b ™ pkl " county Is bet ter than for years. The weather has been dry for some time, but this has enabled farm- ers to prepare better than before ana to plant more carefully. This, together with some iig. ht showers which have fallen recently, Is bringing 'crops up. More cotton has been planted than ever before. One party, well Informed, •says: There has been 100 per cent more cotton planted above Dahlonega this spring than ever before.” HOUSTON—The crop conditions ln Houston county are, as a whole, not favorable, on account of a four weeks’ drought, which was broken by rains in most of the county recently. The wheat crop ls good. The oat crop is gener ally poor, with some exceptions. Early planted corn is looking well. Only about one-half the cotton crop up to a stand. GWINNETT.—Crop conditions are more promising than in the past 30 days On account of fairly good rains which have fallen pretty generally ove. the county within the past week or 10 days. The drought kept back cotton to a great extent, and a stand was dim- cult. Conditions have Improved con siderably. Cotton is now estimated at about 60 per cent stand, and curn 7o per cent. DOOLY Owing to continued dry weather Dooly farmers are having trou ble gettting a good stand of / cotton. Probably 50 per cent of them have a good stand which Is doing well. The corn crop ,'s doing exceptionally well and a good acreage is planted. The larg est oat prop in the history of Dooly county is now being cut and the farm ers are preparing to sow a heavy pea crop. MONTGOMERY—The cotton prospect in Montgomery county at this time is very gloomy, owing to cbntlnued dry weather. Very little cotton is up and the ground is so dry that seed will not germinate. Corn prospect is better, but much corn also is not up. Oat crop is greatly injured by dry weather. WASHINGTON—The crop conditions in Washington county are very promis ing at this time, with the exception of one or two small sections that were damaged by the hail storm about the 15th. A good many farmers had their entire cotton crop to plant over as a result of the hail. The grain crop, which is probably the largest in the history of the county is, as a rule, very good. MARION—The crop conditions in Ma rion county are not at all satisfactory. In many places there is no cotton at all and what is up is very spotted and poor. Corn is small and the* grain crop is off fully half on account of the dry weather. There has been no rain here since April 11, except a light shower last Saturday. MADISON—On account of the recent dry spell the crop conditions are not en couraging in Madison county at this time. A light rain fell here last week, and the cotton and corn that had been planted seems to be coming up. The wheat crop is good. The fall oats are good, but oats that were sown since Christmas have suffered for rain, and the crop is npt very good. MURRAY—Crop conditions in this county are good. Most of the crops are planted and are in fine shape. The oats are above the average; wheat hardly up to the average. Grass crop will be good. Farmers are well up with their work. HALL—Crop conditions in Hall coun ty are much better now than they were at this season last year. The grain crop, wheat and oats* is better than for the past several years. During the past week we have had a general rain over the entire county; cotton is coming up and the grain that is up is looking fine. The outlook for good crops in Hall county this year is very good indeed. MUSCOGEE.—The cotton crop in Muscogee and throughout this section of the state has improved wonderfully since the recent rain, and the farmers are much encouraged over the change for the bfetter. While the stands are far from perfect, the young cotton in some sections is still coming up, and it is believed by the farmers that they will have a fairly good crop after all. No replanting is being done in Mus cogee. WILKES.—Wilkes county’s cotton is In a critical condition. Very little is up and chopped out; much has been planted over, and of that which is be ginning to come up, a great deal will have to be replanted. Farmers report generally good grain crops, and corn in almost every seetioVi ife in good condi tion. Unless conditions improve won derfully, Wilkes’ cotton crop will fall below the ^average for this county. PULASKI.—Crop conditions very unfavorable on account dry weather up to recently, when good rains fell. Good part of cotton not yet up, poor stand in some places. A large percentage of crop has been replanted. Corn late but doing well. Farmers busy cutting oats, of which there is a large acreage and fair yield. ' . GLYNN.—Crop conditions in Glynn since the recent rains are most satis factory. Sugar cane is doing splen didly. Corn is fine, also sweet potatoes. The rice crop has been very greatly reduced through short acreage, but what has been planted is flourishing. In some portions of the county the oats crop was materially affected by rust, but in others good yield reported. Long staple cotton in good condition. BERRIEN.—The recent rains have helped crop conditions wonderfully. in Berrien county. Prospects for 1913 'in Berrien are good. • RABUN.—Apple crop short about 25 per cent compared with last year. There will be practically no peaches in this county. Oats excellent, rye good; prospect for corn much better than last year; potato crop good; onions good. ROCKDALE—The recent rains have been very encouraging to the farmers in Rockdale. Cotton is coming up fast, and indications point to a good stand of cotton and corn throughout the county. Wheat and oats suffered for lack of rain, but these crops are above the av erage for this section. DOUGLAS—The crop prospects in Douglas county, as compared, with last year, are very much more promising, and compared with any year are good. As a rule, there are good stands of corn and cotton. Good preparation, cultiva tion and seasons. Wheat and oats fair ly good. Our farmers are hopeful. QCONEE—The farmers of Oconee county are buoyant of the present crop conditions. The late rain that fell re cently came very timely, being badly needed, but not too late to make \the cotton come up at once. The grain crops, especially oats and wheat, are the biggest in the history of the county. This means also ft great peavine hay crop planted after the grain. MONROE—Since the recent rainfalls the farmers of the county are decidedly more optimistic over the outlook. How ever, the indications are that the crops in Monroe county will be much below the average. The ig:ands of cotton and corn are poor; much of the early plant ing of cotton not' germinating, owing to the lack of rain. Mbst of the grain in the county is being harvested. This crop is good, but the spring small grain crop, from indications, will be below the av erage. WORTH—The prolonged dry spell is working quite a hardship on the farm ers of Worth county. Many of them have not been able to get their cotton up. One of the largest planters esti mates that 30 per cent is still in the ground. The corn and cotton that is up is in fine shape. The oat crop is yielding far better than was expected two or three weeks ago. EMANUEL—Recent rains have caused heavy movements with crops. Balance of cotton is being placed in ground. That already planted is coming up, but much complaint is heard about poor stand, the dry spell causing lots of it not to come up. Corn is up very well and is being sided; many farms have plowed out the corn crop the first time. Oat crop fell short of expectations and is nearly gathered. EFFINGHAM—Rains have come in parts of the county; showers in other parts. Truck crops are being harvest ed; the yield is rather light, but prices fair. Corn crop is doing well, and cot ton is growing nicely where ' stand. Sugar cane is showing up a fairly good stand, and the crop is growing well. WARREN—The crop conditions in Warren county are not at all promis- GETTYSBURG FIELD Congressman J, Thomas Hef- flin, of Alabama the First Southerner to Deliver Ad dress at Gettysburg (By Associated Press.) GETTYSBURG, Pa., June 2.—Stand ing on historic Gettysburg battlefield and bringing “a message of a reunited country,” Representative Thomas Hef lin, of Alabama, today paid eloquent tribute to the heroism of the men who wore the Blue and the Gray. His was the first address ever delivered by a southerner at Gettysburg Memorial day exercises. “Our colonial fathers from north, south and east and west,” Mr, Heflin said, "fought together when they brought this republic into being, de fended it together in the war of 1812, and triumphed together /when they car ried the stars and stripes into the heri tage of the Montezumas. The final and crucial test of the republic’s strength and durability was the combat on the field of battle in the war between the states.” He added that the question of the right of the state to secede and the right of the union "to prevent it, the status of rights and relationship be tween state and federal government, “could not be determined in the coun cils of peace; it had to be settled by the arbitrament of the sword.” Guaranteed Rupture Holder On 60 Days Trial Won’t Cost You A Cent If The Two Months Test Doesn’t Prove All Our Claims You can make a thorough 60 day teat of this guaranteed rupture holder without huving to risk a single cent. We’lJ make one ospoclally for your ciiso and let you see for your self how It takes all the misery out of being ruptured. ing at this time. Corn is fairly good, but as a rule it is about two weeks be hind. Cotton was planted early, but on account of the dry weather was late coming up. The stand now, however, is very good. The grain crop is almost a total failure, except on highly fertil ized spots. JASPER—Ground preparation better than in several years. Farmers are com pletely up with their work. Stands of cotton and corn are the poorest at this time that has ever been known here. The greater part of the cotton and corn crops have been replanted. This is caused from the dry weather that has prevailed for some time. Showers fell over the northern section of the county recently and relieved the great er part of the drouth. There is an abundance of oats and wheat this year, which is now being harvested. FAYETTE—Recent rains have im proved the crop conditions in Fayette county considerably. Local showers have fallen over the larger portion of the county, a&d where a good season has been obtained cotton seed are coming up, and the general impression is that a good stand will result. Scarcely any chopping has been done yet, and some are still planting. The oat crop suffered considerably before the rains. TERRELL—Crop conditions in Terr rell county have shown wonderful im provement in the past ten days. While some sections are badly in need of rain to bring up the late planting, for the most part the crops are up and grow ing nicely. Oats r are ’being harvested and are much better than was antici pated. The acreage is unusually large. Corn is looking fine. SPALDING—-Crops are showing mark ed improvements since the recent rains. Corn and wheat are fine. Oats ar4 off from 35 to 50 per cent. Cotton has not come up, and in fact it has not all been planted so far, and without favorable conditions in the future will be a very short crop. TENNESSEE—Fo) Jewing the recent rains which came at a time most need ed, the Tennessee farmers are wearing the smile' that won’t come off. It has been estimated that thousands of dol lars have been made for the farmers by reason of the general rains which fell. The wheat crop Is in excellent shape and the first offerings will be in within a month. Oats are in splendid condition, and the same ls true of al falfa. The corn crop is coming fine and the hot, dry weather prior to the rains enabled the farmers to get their fields almost free cf weeas. The Tennessee strawberry crop is moving in great style and thousands of crates have been shipped to market. There is a profusion of garden truck and the fruit prospects for apples and peaches is splendid. Taken all in all, the Tennessee farm er at present is a sure enough optimist and he has every reason to be. roscc Tfl vnu MV CUJTCD Free to You and Every Sister Sup- I IU iuy—"mr uloltn erlng from Woman's Ailments.

WASHINGTON, June 2.—Charges that Frank H. Hitchcock, as postmas ter general during the Taft adminis tration, made misleading reports involv ing almost $1,000,000, that he withheld promotions, allowed vacancies to go unfilled to the detriment of the service, and made a deficit of $750,000 appear to be a surplus of $200,000, were set forth in a report received today by Postmas ter General Burleson. The allegations are made by a com mittee composed of Daniel C. Roper, Joseph Stewart, A. M. Dockery, James I. Blakslee and Merritt O. Chance, respec tively, first, second, third and fourth assistant postmaster generals and chief clerk of the department. Their review covered the whole record of the depart ment during the last four years. It is charged that unjustifiable meth ods of' bookkeeping were used by Mr. Hitchcock in order to show a supposed surplus. It is also asserted that he failed to fill vacancies, postponed pro motions, and withheld the letting of big contracts until the very close of the administration for the purpose of keeping down expenses and swelling the false "surplus.” LAST SURPLUS IN 1883. One of the foremost claims of Mr. Hitchcock was that the deficiency of approximately $17,500,000 ip 1909 had been entirely eliminated and that a sur plus of more than $200,000 was attained during the fiscal year of 1911. Refut ing this claim, the committee declares that there has not been an honest sur plus since 1883 and that the Hitchcock “surplus” was in reality a deficiency of approximately $750,000. Actual fig ures are given to substantiate the con tention. "The all-absorbing program of the last administration was the placing of the postoffice department on a paying basis,” says the report. "The policies pursued in the'effort to succeed at this plan were overworked and resulted in defective administration and just criticism on the part of the public. "That efficiency and economy should be substituted for wastefulness and ex travagance needs no argument, but the postal service affects so vitally the in terests of the entire population of the country that economy which means a curtailment of postal facilities operates as a check to the social and industrial progress of the counry. The people are entitled to the best failities admin istered in the most efficient manner. That the facilities furnished during the last four years were not the best is clearly established by the facts.” "Notwithstanding the great zeal dis played in the effort to place the depart ment on the so-called paying basis and the resultant injuries to the service, the claim of the former postmaster general that the service actually yielded a profit in 1911 has no foundation in fact, as is shown herein. ■Order Mall Kentucky’^ Straight Whiskey from Distiller to You on trial 2 Gallon* for $5. 3 lor $7.60 or f for $3. oholo, of Rye, Bourbon or Corn Express Prspaid ImS of Mont.
