CROP CONDITIONS OVER THE STATE
TOLD BY REPORTS TO THE JOURNAL
BANKS.—Part of Banks county has
been dry for three weeks and crop pros-
pects are off about 3 per cent from last
month. Indications are now that we
will have a general rain and this will
bring the crops out. Fodder is being
pulled on the uplands where the corn
has been slightly damaged. The low
lands are better than usual, and for
that reason the corn crop will average
up to a full crop.
BARTOW—Crop outlook in Bartow
county best for years. Cotton is abund
antly fruited and a normal crop is as
sured. The corn crop is the best in
years. Not only the best, but the larg
est. Large quantities of hay are be
ing harvested and a large acreage of
peas sowed. Altogether, the outlook for
this county is exceedingly blight.
BERRIEN.—The crop conditions in
Berrien county continue to be excellent.
The corn crop is very good. More at
tention has been paid watermelons and
potatoes. Several thousands dollars
have been realized from the sale of
melons.
BUTTS—Ten days of continuous dry
weather has undeniably caused some
alarm over the cotton crop in Butts
county. Well informed farmers claim
that the staple is suffering as a conse
quence of the dry days. Still on the
whole there was never a brighter pros
pect in the history of the county. Cot
ton is opening very rapidly and the first
bale should be received here during the
present week. Taken as a whole the
corn crop throughout the county is ex
cellent. Some large yields are expect
ed from the members of the Boys' Corn
club. Late truck and gardens have
been damaged by the dry weather. bu f
a shower during the next few days will
help to revive vegetation considerably.
PULASKI—Conditions ’not quite so
favorable as they were thirty days ago.
Continued dry weather has been unfav
orable to late corn, and cotton that was
not well on the way to maturity two
weeks ago will hardly have a chance to
mature now. Top crop will be very
light. Cotton picking is in progress
all over the county.
CARROLL—The crop conditions in
Carroll county \are not so good as last
month. On account of the dry weather
the cotton has suffered in many parts
of the county, and corn, while better
than usual, is maturing too early. The
general conditions are a great deal bet
ter than last year.
CHARLTON. — Crops in Charlton
county ar.e, as a whole, very good. The
corn crop is above the average. The ef
fect of the Boys’ Corn clubs can be
felt over the whole county. Cotton is
fine and doing well. Sweet potatoes is
the chief commercial crop and the acre
age has been doubled. Some farmers are
digging new potatoes and fair prices
are reported.
CLARKE—Since a month ago in this
section the seasons have been perfect.
Hot weather, rain and a sufficiency of
moisture. The crop is fully three weeks
late. Barjing dry weather and early
frosts, we’should make full crops.
CHATTAHOOCHEE—Owing to ex
treme heat and dry weather during the
month of August, late cotton is almost
complete failure. Good weed and full
of forms, but now shedding both leaves
and squares. No grown fruit on late
cotton. Conceded that we will make
half crop of cotton in this county. The
corn crop above an average. Sugar
cane doing well on low lands. Rain
very much needed at this time to check
cotton from opening prematurely.
CLAY.—The continued dry weather
for the past ten days has caused the
cotton crop in this county to be cut
— -off considerably. The yield in this
county will not be any better this sea
.son than last due to the fact that at
least 60 per cent of the cotton in the
county is young and the dry weather
lias caused it to shed off nearly all i
fruit.
CLAYTON.—Rain recently relieved a
ten days’ dry spell which had assumed
serious proportions. Clayton county
prospects for a full crop are slim. Cotton
and corn have deteriorated fearfully in
the last few weeks. With favorable sea
son from now on, we should make our
second best crop.
COFFE.—Crop conditions in Coffee
upon an average are very good indeed.
The weather of late has been very fine
and cotton is improving every day, and
bids fair to be a good average crop.
Com is fine, as a general thing, and the
bay crop is also good. Potatoes are good
also. The farmers have lived very eco
nomically this year, and the financial
outlook for the fall is therefore very
good.
COLQUITT.—Colquitt county makes a
good average crop this year. Corn was
above the average in acreage and will
probably be above the average in yield
per acre. Cotton is generally good. Cane
and potatoes and peas are fair. The hay
crop is excellent, and some No. 1 peavine
hay Is now being saved. Cotton is open
ing rapidly and is being marketed as a
rule as fast as it is picked out.
COWETA.—There is every promise
that Coweta county will harvest big
crops this year, both of the cotton and
corn. Cotton is in splendid condition,
although rain is needed in some sec
tions, where some shedding is reported.
The corn crop is practically safe, with
a larger area planted, and prospects of
a record-breaking yield.
CRAWFORD.—Crops in this county
are not as promising as they were
scune time ago. The cotton and cprn
, crop will both be. about 75 per cent.
DADE.—The corp crop average is about
the same as last year; acreage about
average. More cotton than usual; very
good. Irish potato crop average. Wheat
and hay crops about an average; average
acreage.
DAWSON.—Crops are in fine condi
tion in this county now, owing to plen
ty of rain for the past thirty days. The
corn especially being the best for sev
eral years. An average yield of cotton
is assured if there is not a very early
frost.
DEKELB.—Crop prospects in this
section are generally good. The corn
crop is excellent and the acreage larg
er than for several years. Cotton is very
promising and growing fine, although
about two weeks later than usual. Pick
ing will begin about September 15, and
the present prospect is for a good crop.
Miscellaneous crops are good.

on account of hot, dry weather and is
being picked out, about forty bales
having been marketed so far. Young
cotton is going backward. The general
condition not so good as at last report.
Corn has also suffered from insufficient
rains and the crop will be very short
this season.
DOUGLAS.—The crop ouutlook for j
Douglas county is very fine, indeed—:
perhaps was never more promising. |
The corn crop promises to be a bumper, j
Of course, there are contingencies— j
storms, floods, etc., which might inter- i
vene and ruin the present beautiful j
and bountiful prospect. The seasons j
of late seem to be coming about right, t
The outlook is full of hope.
EARLY—The weather for the pastj
two weeks has been extremely hot and;
no rain during that time. The young
cotton is needing rain badly. Old cot
ton is opening very rapidly and a great
deal of it has been picked and brought
to market. There are no insects.
ECHOLS.—The corn and peanut crop
is extremely good in this (Echols
county this year and the cotton is fairly
good for the season. All crops are
much better than at this time last year.
EFFINGHAM—Corn generally is fn
fine closing up stage and the crop is
good. Late corn is suffering some from
dry weather after an excess of rain,
but a small per cent is late The cot
ton crop will be a good crop and the
acreage is much increased. The county
will make fifty per cent more cotton
than last year. Sugar cane prospect
continues good. The sweet potato, crop
promises good yield. However, most of
the crop will be late and is yet un
certain.
EMANUEL.—Crops are good, generally
speaking. The outlook for a bumper corn
crop is now apparent. In some parts it
was dry too long for all to mature, hence
was cut off some there. Hay and fodder
are plentiful. Oats, cane and potatoes
on the average. Cotton is doing splen
didly now. Some fields are white and the
picking has begun. Others are not open
ing. For those who planted late the crop
is just now at its height in putting on
fruit, and it will be some time before this
will be opening. The cotton crop will
be about an average one here.
FAYETTE—The condition of the cot
ton crop is very promising, favorable
seasons continue and the plant is tak
ing on fruit. A larger ana better corn
crop is practically assured already than
has ever been made in this county. Pea-
vine hay promises a better and larger
yield than ever before.
FLOYD.—The indications are that
there will be a fine crop of both cot
ton and corn in Floyd county. The cot
ton will begin to come to market about
the first of September. Recent rains,
following extremely warm weather, have
ifisured a splendid yield.
FORSYTH.—The crops in Forsyth
county are the best now, that has ever
been known. If some unprecedented dis
aster does not befall them, there will
be more corn and cotton made here than
has ever been made before.
GLYNN.—The crop conditions in
Glynn are not as promising at present
as they were a month ago. The corn
yield, due to the dry season, will be
considerably decreased. The rains now
prevailing came too late to insure a
large sweet potato crop. Cotton and rice
will produce usual yield, while sugar
cane is in splendid condition. Farmers
intend planting alfalfa to some extent
another year.
GWINNETTE—Cr 0 p conditions in this
section may be expressed as fine. With
out some disaster or other injurious
cause, there will be gathered the great
est corn crop in the history of the
county. Coton is also in fine condi
tion and maturing rapidly and the yield
will be above an average.
HABERSHAM.—The crop prospects in
Habersham county are the best ever
known. With no calamity to interfere
the county will yield the largest pro
duction in its history.
HALL.—The crops in Hall county are
the best we have had in several years.
. They are clean and well worked and re-
, ports from all sections of the county
i s how that we will get a bumper crop
| of cotton and corn. More forage will
be made in Hail county this year than
in previous years. Many acres of peas
and syrup-cane were planted and the
: fine seasons have been very beneficial
to this crop, which will be very valuable
to this county. The farmers of Hall
county are producing more than here
tofore.
HANCOCK.—Since last report 30
days ago, some sections have suffered
for lack of rain. Other sections too
much rain up to two weks ago. Now
both sections are very dry and unless
rain comes within a week cotton will
suffer, and 25 per cent reduced yield will
follow. Should rain come now Hancock
v/ill make average size crop. The corn
crop is better than usual. Peas, pota
toes and porn are fine.
HART—Cotton and corn crops in
Hart county are exceptionally good,
with the exception of a small part of
the county that has not had rain, until
recently. Late corn doing well. Pea
crop good.
HOUSTON.—Crop conditions have im
proved very much in the past month.
But right now cotton crop needs rain.
Very little cotton open yet. The county
will make a better crop of corn than
last year. In fact the corn crop will
be better than an average crop. Hay
crops look very promising.
IRWIN.—Late rains in July and early
August were just in time to make a fair
corn crop, and did old, cotton much good,
but lack of rains for the past fifteen
days, except light, partial showers, has
seriously injured young cotton and has
caused a loss estimated to date at 25 per
cent. Two-thirds of the cotton in this
county is late on account of the weather
being too dry to germinate the seeds.
Old cotton has also suffered for the lack
of rains, and has stopped growing or put
ting on any fruit and opening very fast.
JACKSON—All crops are in excel
lent condition in Jackson county. Some
sections are needing rain, but no damage
to speak of has yet been suffered. Dur
ing the past thirty days cotton has
improved wonderfully and prospects are
now bright for great but rather late
crops. Corn needs rain in mose sec
tions. The crop is muen larger than
•y1 and with favorable conditions
' 1 yield an abundant harvest. All
j io. -re in fine condition.
.J ASPER.—The crop conditions in Jas
per improved wonderfully in the past
two weeks. The recent rains has helped
the late cotton and corn. The crops
will be about two weeks later than
usual. Because of poor stands the
yield will not be much greater than
last year. The opinion is that the cot
ton crop has been overestimated.
JOHNSON.—The present drought
which has lasted more than three
weeks, has practically ruined late corn,
; and has damaged late cotton fully 40
j per cent. It has been a long time since
: as much gloom among the farmers as
exists now. A few weeks ago every
thing pointed to a bumper crop, but
the prospects now indicate a smaller
crop than last year, while there will
be more corn made because of increase
in acreage.
LOWNDES—Crop conditions in this
county' and section remain favorable.
There has been most too much rain for
cotton and farmers report it as being
too heavy with foliage and not enough
fruit, but other crops are as good as
the farmers could want them. There
will be a bumper crop of corn, sweet
potatoes, sugar cane, pinders, chufas,
etc., in this section, and the crop has
been made at much less expense than
usual.
M’DUFFIE.—An average cotton crop
will be made over four-fifths of Mc
Duffie. Owing to the excessive drouth,
beginning in June and still holding in
some parts of the county, these sections
will not make a full crop. A good corn
crop has been made. Experiments with
dynamited land have been made by
some of the farmers with excellent re
sults.
M’INTOSH.—There has been no
change in the crops since last report.
Weather has been rather dry and cool.
Cotton looks fine in this section, though
corn has been cut off by drought.
MADISON—Crops of all kinds grown
in ti.is part of the state are considered
good. A heavy hailstorm passed through
the northeastern part of the county,
but it did not extend very far. Upland
fodder is being harvested and in some
places cotton is beginning to open. For
age crops have never been better at
this season of the year.
MARION.—The crop conditions for
the last thirty days points to a good
cotton crop, if the seasons will con
tinue for twenty days more. Owing to
the fact that it was very late when the
most of the cotton in this section was
up with sufficient stand to allow cul
tivation, it is fully twenty days late.
The corn crop is spotted, in some places
we have splendid crops, but in other
sections the corn crop is very poor.
Buena Vista has received one new bale
of cotton.
MONROE.—From present indications
Monroe will have one of the best crops
in years. Despite the unfavorable con
ditions early in the season and although
the cotton crop is much later than
usual, the farmers are feeling good over
the prospect. The cotton is fruiting
up well and not only is the corn acreage
larger than last year but the yield is
expected to be considerably greater.
For melons this has been an excellent
season. The first bales of the year
were marketed on the 18th.
MONTGOMERY.—During the past
month showers have greatly improved
the condition of the cotton crop in
Montgomery county. The crop is young
and putting on fruit but is badly need
ing rain at this time, and unless rain
comes the crop will be greatly damaged.
The corn crop is now about mature but
is light because of draught. The hay
and pea crop are suffering for rain as
well as cane and potatoes.
MUSCOGEE—Muscogee county plant
ers, especially those who depend on
the cotton crop for a living, are alarm
ed ovel the» present weather condi
tions which are playing havoc with
young cotton, the weed of which is
drying up and withering away because
of the long drouth and hot winds. Sim
ilar conditions exist in the , adjoining
counties, five of which, it is declared by
conservative farmers, will not produce
a half cotton crop this year unless rain
comes at once, and even . then „ there
will undoubtedly be a decided short
age. While the older cotton is still
growing In the lowlands,, the younger
weed and all that on the hills is stand
ing still or going backwards. In many
sections it is dying out entirely. Some
few are picking, but very little of the
crop is open, a great majority of the
cotton being the younger variety, which
is suffering most from the existing con
ditions.
OCONEE.—The crops in lower Oco
nee are magnificent and all other parts
of the county excellent. More corn
and peas and pea-vine and sorghum
hay than was ever known in history
of the county. Cotton is splendid in
most sections. The young cotton that
was planted after the hail storm stands
a fair chance to make an excellent crop.
Plenty rains of late.
OGLETHORPE.—The old crop of corn
will make more than it was once thought,
improving very much after the rains be
gan. Young corn is now promising.
Cotton had begun to suffer very much,
most of it being young, but last Friday
night there was a good rain in parts of
Oglethorpe county—the greater part—
and, with more rain in a week or ten
days, will make an average crop.
PAULDING—T’ e farmers of Pauld
ing county are in high spirits as the
prospects >for a very large crop are
promising. Corn is especially in splen
did condition. The ears are already
matured and probably for the first time
In the history of the county the farmers
will have large quantities for sale.
POLK.—Although the recent rains in
Polk county have been mostly local,
they have been rather numerous and
well distributed over the county, mak
ing the present crop prospects look good,
especially the cotton. With favorable
weather a bumper crop is the outlook,
otherwise an average yield is expected.
Old corn is practically lost, but the new
corn looks very promising.
PUTNAM.—General reports from all
over Putnam county make a 10 per
cent deterioration in the crops of the
county a very low liberal estimate of
damage done mainly by drought during^
the past two weeks or ten days. • Putnam
county seems to lie at present in a dry
belt, counties north of here and south
of this county having received good
rains since the present dry spell of
more than two weeks has prevailed.
Cotton is dropping squares from the
continued lack of rain. Farmers are
counting strongly on some of the fin
est corn patches grown here in years
with excellent outlook of good harvests
from this grain crop.
RABUN.—-Indications that corn will
average from 50 to 100 per cent better
than last year, dependent of course, on
season. Irish potatoes excellent. Cab
bage. onions and vegetables of most all
varieties are average crop. Rye crop an
average. Oats fair. Very little wheat
sown. Apple crop short, say 25 per
cent: Very few peaches.
RICHMOND. — Expectations of a
bumper crop of cotton are entertained
by Richmond planters, and the other
produce has been running well on to an
exceptional yield. Conditions in the
county for the month of August have
been ideal. In spite of the early sea
sonal outlook, cotton and corn have
shot up to fine stands, and cotton, even
in the beginning of the marketing is
better than for two years past. Fruits
are abundant now, but will not last
much longer.
SCHLEY.—Corn throughout the coun
ty seems to be an average crop. The
cotton crop is where but little can be
told definitely about the yield. About
90 per cent of the cotton crop is late,
about one month. The weed is large
enough for an average crop, but the
forms are few and some of them are
falling off. It would take good sea
sons and a late frost to insure 75 per
cent of an average crop. The cotton
crop needs rain at this time.
SPALDINtfJJ.—The prospects for a
large yield of cotton is very flattering
at this place, but the crop is late and
an early frost would be disastrous. With
favorable seasons and late fall a burap-
j er crop will be harvested. Corn and
j peas are far above the average. Sweet
! potatoes are fine and are already on
the market.
STEWART.—Crops are very promis
ing in this country. Cotton, peas and
hay are at a critical stage, with proper
seasons, there will be a fine crop made,
but a few days drouth would cut it off
considerably. Corn is advanced enough
not to materially be hurt, it promises
to be an average crop. Farmers feel
encouraged.
SUMTER.—Crop conditions in Sumter
county continue favorable and with
good seasons a crop of 36,000 bales of
cotton in the county seem assured. Cot
ton is opening fast, and already 200
bales of the new crop have been re
ceived in Americus. The crop is clean
of grass and there are no caterpillars
or other insects. Young cotton of late
planting is not yet taking on fruit,
while old cotton, that of first planting,
is heavily fruited.
TALBOT—The cotton in Talbot coun
ty is now much in need of rain. Near
ly all of it is young and the best farm
ers predict not much more than 60 per
cent of a good crop. Corn in some
sections Is fine, though some of it was
cut short on account of dry weather.
The potato crop will be an average one.
Little cotton lias thus far been ginned.
TERRELL.—There has been a marked
improvement in crop conditions in Ter
rell in the last thirty days. Good rains
came just in time to save the cotton
crop. It is now expected with average
seasons this county will make a good
cotton crop. Corn will be a bit be
low the average. The hay crop is look
ing well and is unusually large. Sev
eral hundred bales of cotton have been
marketed already and the fields are get
ting white. Business conditions general
ly are improved.
THOMAS—Cotton is beginning- to
come in very fast and the crop this year
will be a good one, far ahead of what
was expected earlier in the season. A
feature of th© cotton so far is its fine
quality, all that has been brought in
so far being of the best. 'The corn
crop is made and is beyond doubt one
of the finest ever seen in this county,
both as to quantity and quality, some
of the yields being notable in the his
tory of the crops of the county. The
sweet potato crop is very abundant,
the acreage being larger than usual.
A fine hay crop lias been harvested.
Sugar cane is in good condition and
all other crops showing up well.
TOWNS—Corn crops are good. Some
sections damaged from storms. A half
crop of apples is best estimate I can
give. Potatoes and garden stuff are
good.
TURNER.—All the crops have been
damaged more or less by continued
droughts. There will be more and more
hay harvested here, and more stock and
hogs and cattle will be raised, and better
ones, but the present has been cut down
almost half by dry spells.

Half of the corn crop in this county
has been injured. Cotton is in good
shape. Fruit crops are entire failures.
We, are having some rains, rather local,

WARE—Crops in Ware are today in
better condition than ever before at this
season of the year. The earlier re
ports on a banner corn crop have been
well supported and a handsome in
crease over all previous corn yields is
certain. The prospects for a big sugar
cane crop are very bright. Cotton is
below the average, but the loss on this
crop will be more than made up by the
other crops-. Sweet potatoes are show
ing up fine and will make t*ie rarmers
who planted heavilv in them a neat
profit. The indications point to more
hay than usual this year, which will
cut down the feed bills of man’y who
have heretofore had to purchase else
where. Preparations are being made
for larger fall crons than ever before
and it is said that a lare-e acreage will
be devoted to winter cabbage, tried on
a small scale in the past with much
success.
WASHINGTON.—The continued dry
weather that has prevailed in the great
er part of the county for more than
two weeks has. according to reports,
done considerable damage to the cotton
crop. The late corn has also been ef
fected. while the pea and hay crop still
bid fair for a beautiful yield.
WEBSTER.—Crops in this county are
doing as well as they can. Corn has
turned out some better than was
thought, and cotton is simply excellent,
but we have to get good seasons and a
late fall for a full crop as a great deal
of cotton was planted late. The potato
crop is very good.
WILCOX—Crop conditions are good in
Wilcox county. In ejpmj sections It
has been too dry for late cotton. Bur
around Abbeville the jerops are ten per
cent better than they were in 1912.
Corn picking is the order of the day
now and cotton is coming to the mark
et at a lively rate. Some sections of
Wilcox had good rains recentlv whi<-*
will help both cotton, corn, peas and
potatoes.
WHITE.—The condition of the corn
crops in White county at the present
time are better than in fifteen years,
and the largest amount of corn ever
grown in the county will be recorded for
this year. Cotton is in,advance of last
year a little, but reports from some
parts of the county indicate that it is
not as good as was once thought to
be, but the crop will be good. Cow
peas are not going to bear well, but
the Dea bav crop will be excellent.
WHITFIELD.—Unusually bright are
conditions for the best farm crops in
the county’s history. Both cotton and
corn are further advanced than is cus
tomary for this time of the year. Suf
ficient rain has fallen to insure an un-
usuallylarge corn crop, the acreage be
ing increased this year. Watermelons
have proved a money crop, the yield
being large and melons excellent.

Only Thirty-Two
Deaths Was Toll
Of IQ13 July 4th
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.—Thirty-two per
sons died in Fourth of July celebra
tions this year, fewer than in any
year since statisticians began recording
the toll of fireworks. Figures gath
ered by the Journal of the American
Medical association and published today
compare this total to that of 466 in
1903, th© first year the association
counted the victims, and gave rise to
the prediction that the “annual orgy
of death and destruction soon will
cease.”
Of this j r ear’9 victims, 13, most of
them, little girls, were burned to death
when their clothing caught fire. Two
of these accidents were caused by sup
posedly harmless “snapper” matches.
The non-fatal injuries this year were
1,131, against 947 in 1912 and 3,983 in
1903.
The most notable reductions in the
number of injured came from cities
where ordinances prohibiting the sale
and use of fireworks are enforced. In
the list, Boston, Newark, Milwaukee
and Chicago appear most prominently.
More than 10 per cent of all casual
ties reported were in Pennsylvania,
which reported 401 injuries, including
nine deaths. Of this number 340 oc
curred in Philadelphia.

Hope to Hatch Out
Baby Tarrapin With
Wilson Looking On
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 1.—Alex
Barbee, Savannah’s diamondback terra
pin expert, hopes to have a baby terra
pin born in the White House. Alex
is the man who last fall rigged up an
incubator suit case and stocking it
with terrapin eggs went about the
north with the eggs hatching when he
wanted them to.
He had timed them so that he knew
the hour that a terrapin ought to be
clawing his way out of the shell. This
fall he is going to Atlanta and then to
Washington. In »Washington he is
going to call upon the president, and
he hopes to hav© a terrapin ready to
appear at that critical time.

WAR COLLEGE TRAINING
URGED BY GOVERNMENT
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—When naval
officers above the grade of lieutenant
come up for examination for promotion
hereafter, the examining board must
ascertain whether the applicant has
taken any course of instruction at the
naval war college and if so “how long
the course was and how fully officers
took advantage of their opportunities.”
An order to this effect was issued by
Secretary Daniels today.
While the secretary has not made
attendance at the war college a condi
tion of promotion, his direction that
the inquiry be made indicates the im
portance he attaches to the training af
forded there.
Ever since his visit to the war col
lege at Newport the secretary has advo
cated that larger numbers of the officers
attend and to make such attendance pos
sible established short courses in ad
dition to those already available.
