CROP BULLETIN.
Farornble Report for Post Week from
the Agricultural Department.
The weekly crop bulletin issued
from tho Agricultural department at
WaHhington, Tuesday, says: Tho
weather during tho past week has re
sulted in improved crop conditions in
tho northwest and central valleys,
while the outlook is less favorable in
the southeast sections of the country.
Mississippi — All conditions very
favorable except cool nights in the tirst
of the week. Crops grassy, being
cleaned rapidly. Deep water and back
water ruining crops along tho Missis
sippi river.
Louisiana—Cotton scraping; rico
planting and cleaning; crops of
grasses and weeds being pushed ; corn
nearly laid by; oats harvesting pro
gressing; yield good; cotton, cane,
corn and rice doing well.
Texas—Corn looks splendid; cotton
prospects improved and farmers arc
planting over tho northwest portion of
the state, where work had been delayed
by drought.
Arkansas—Weather favorable and all
crops very much improved; southern
portions, however, report crops foul
and poor stand; cotton, wheut, oats,
clover and grass promise an abundant
crop.
Tennessee — Conditions favorable;
crops improving; wheat heading ir
regularly ; Colorado beetle injuring
Irish potatoes; early corn being work
ed ; some still to be planted ; no “sea
son” for planting tobacco; cotton
small but healthy.
Kentucky—Conditions favored all
crops; tobacco setting in full progress;
corn improved, but still below the
standard ; much of the curly corn be
ing replanted ; wheat, outs and grass
es never better. _

Tho turpentine operators’ associa
tion mot a few days ago at Cordolo.
The meeting was a secret but import
ant one, About thirty raombors were
present at the mooting and various
matters of interest woro discussed.
Tho operators report a falling off of
about onn-thiril in tho production this
season. This shortage has occurred on
account of a backward spring and n
short crop of virgin boxes. The crop
of naval stores will bo short 25 per cent,
throughout tlio turpentine bolt, yet
prices remain low and there is lit
tle prospect of any advance until tho
turpentine men have sold tho prodnet
of their stills, and then the commis
sion men and speculators will make
the profits. Nome of tho operators
think of putting on foot a movement
to have every still in south Georgia
shut down until prices go to a iiguro
that will authorize them to resume.
It would bo a stupendous undertaking,
but it can bo successfully carried out
from the fact Unit tlio membership of
tho turpentine operators’ association
consists of 90 per cent of tlio turpen
tine men of tho state. Tho associa
tion is thoroughly organized and its
object is tlio protection of tho opera
tors.
(•Roridii id Ilorrrd One.
Homo weoks ago, it will lie readily
recalled, a convention of the governors
of tlio southern states was held in
Richmond, Vs., on tho call of Gover
nor Fishbaok, of Arkansas. Tho ob
ject of tlio convention was to consider
ways and means for bringing tlio ad
vantages and resources of tho southern
states prominently beforo capitalists
and others in tho world’s fair year,
and thereby stimulate tho influx of
capital and worthy populations into
the south. A resolution was adopted
that a descriptive pamphlet, contain
ing articles of proper length ami
properly illustrated by tlio several
governors of the southern states ho
printed in large quantity and distribut
ed at tho world’s fair, or otherwise, as
any governor might elect, Tlieso
articles would bo comprehensive of tlio
resources, natural advantages and lo
cal inducements offered by oaeh
state to capitalists and immigrants,
Tlio iilofv was considered not only foa-
was
lack
sumo, nut tile plan was generally com-
monded as ouo that would attract gen
eral attention and lie weighty lioeause
of the authority behind its representa
tives in every instance. Tho pam
phlet is now being compiled by the
Hon. J. Roll Rigger, secretary of the
convention at Richmond, who lms
written to Governor Northen concern-
jug Georgia’s part in the publication.
Governor Northen replied that he
blockaded in this matter by the
of an appropriation for any purpose
connected with the world’s fair anil by
the constitution of tho stato which for
bade film from making any expendi
tures not previously provided for.
And there iH tho situation. Geor
gia iH barred out of oven so
small a matter as a joint pam
phlet association of her resources in
a great emergency and opportunity to
profit the state, because tho governor
cannot raise $51)0 from state funds to
pay tho Georgia pro rata of tho work,
it is a humiliating situation, but it is
not wholly remediless. If thoro is
among the wealthy men of Goorgiaone
with something of tho patriotic pride
of Toombs, who kept tho constitution
al convention of 1877 going at his own
expense after tho fund for it was ex
hausted, then that man now has his
opportunity. Any ono of a hundred
men in Atlanta alone could step up to
the governor and hand him a cheek
for the needed $500, without feeling
tho outlay, but, rather carry with him
the fooling tlmt he had saved his state
from a humiliating failuro. When tho
man appears and does this act wo will
ho glad to name him with honor, and
wo beleive the people will reward him
by an offer of reimbursement with
thanks in official form. Atlanta C'on-
utitutlon.
For AilyitiInIiim Gcnruln.
Gnneral I’hil Cook, secretary of state,
recently made a good suggestion on
the line of attracting settlers and in
vestments to Georgia. Letters are
('(instantly lining received at tlio office
of tho secretary asking for informa
tion about the stab'. ’Tho inquiries
come chiefly from tho west and north
west. General (look suggests that tlio;
counties and towns of Georgia should'
get up some pamphlets illlod with in
formation as to agriculture, minorals,
manufactures, ruilrod facilities,
schools, churches, water powers, price
of lands, character of crops and all
that. Ho outlld send out this inform
ation when inquiries Como to liis of
fice, or tho matter could bo supplied
direct from county seat. A splondid
handbook of Athens and Oiarkocounty
lms been issued by Professor Htralinn,
of the Htato university. He took his
engineering elaHH from tho university
and surveyed the county. In addition
ho had nssistanco from other engineers
and oitizous who aro familliar with
tho county. It iH a very complote
hook, and will give tho inquirer just
tho sort of information ho wants. Tho
mayor of Cuthbort JiaH written to tho
soorotury of stato saying that a hand
book of Cuthbort and Randolph coun
ty is being prepared by direction of
tho council of the town. This
work will bo freely circulat
ed and tlin town will bo glad to
have prospective investors and home-
seekers send for copies. General Cook
will ho furnished with copies, so that
one may bo sent to every party who
writes to him for information about
tlio state. Georgia is getting wido ad
vertisement all over tlio country and
appears to bo attracting wido atten
tion, but there is no nuitable matter
to ho sent out. Homo yours ngo tho
legislature authorized tho commission
er of agriculture, Colonel Henderson,
to get up a handbook. Ho did pre
pare one, and it was complote, but
tho edition lias boon exhausted a long
time ago. And as General Cook sayH:
“Hinoo then new industries have de
veloped in tlio Htato. Ono county
sends out of tho state half a million
dollars, worth of vegetables and fruit
annually, where a few years hack it
did not sell anything scarcely in that
lino. Each county ought to tako hold
of this subject and work it for all it is
worth. Tho information would ho
much more full and interesting if each
county and eity would act for itself in
this matter, instead of waiting for tho
legislature to authorize a goueral work
for tho state. Tho counties which fol
low the examplu of Clurko will find
that they ure amply repaid for tho ex
pense. We would rather lmvo a dozen
investors come down here from tlio
north-west than a hundred immigrants
from Castle Garden, or whatever tlio
new landing station is. Georgia ought
to look after getting settlers from tho
older statns, rather than from Eu
rope. And tho counties can draw
them if thoy go about it in tho right
way.’’
