\ I J THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1913. 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.

Write at once—to-day. 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. SPEER FLOOR CONGRESS THRONG TO REAR GIRL IN “SLAVE” CASE They Are Resolutions Passed Fight for Seats as Testimony by Labor Union-Were Post- | Grows Exciting-Wife Faces marked Mount Airy “Other Woman" BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Interest in the possible impeachment proceedings against Federal Judge Emory Speer, of the south Georgia district, was increas ed today through the receipt by Con gressman and newspapers of copies of resolutions commending Judge Speer, which ivere passed in April by the Georgia Federation of Labor convention at Augusta. An anonymous typewritten note at the top of the sheet, introducing the resolutions, has attracted unusual at tention. “As to Congressman Bartlett’s (By Associated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 1.— Long before tne hour set for the re sumption of F.

The early comers were mostly women, anxious to hear further details of Marsha Warrington’s story of her clandestine relations with Maury I. Diggs and of her trip to Reno with Diggs, Caminetti and Lola Norris.

The postmark is not very clear, but it has been deciphered as “Mount Airy.” at. which place Judge Speer has been spend ing the summer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—The steamship Lusitania, bearing Viscount Haldane, the first high lord high chancellor of Great Britain in 400 years to leave his coun try, entered New York harbor this morning. A reception committee ol and of the American Bar association, whose guest he will be during a five days’ visit in this country and Canada waited at the pier.

On Monday the chancellor will ad dress tile annual meeting of the Ameri can Bar association in Bontreal. has very materially injured early corn. 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, most of county is yet needing some rain. 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. found wanting.

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. DESPITE FIRE, IMPERAT0R STARTS ON LONG VOYAGE (By Associated Press.)

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.
