The growth of .... all the crops has , been greatly retarded for the want of a gen eral rain In Southern Georgia mi many localities, the drought lasted from four to six weeks. CORN. The condition of this crop is better than at the same time last year; while the effect of the drought has been to make the crop backward, the plant, as a rule, is iu a healthy condition, and with good seasons, will grow off rapidly. COTTON. The reduction in the acreage devoted to this crop has been emphasized State by cor¬ respondents. In tbe the stand compared with an a\*erage, ® 88± and the condition 88}. OATS. More than any other this crop lias felt the effect of the dry weather, and in many places spring sowed is reported as being a,mu»t a total failure. WHEAT. The yiild of wheat will be the largest for many years. In ad tition to an in¬ creased acreage the season Las been pro pitious, and but little iuj ary has been done by the rust. RICE. tVecote an increase of 4 per cent, in the acreage devoted to this crop. The condition is about an average. MELONS. The more Southern counties that grow melons for shipment report ar in¬ creased acreage, while those further north report a large reduction. lathe State tbe acreage is 11 per cent, less than that of last year. FRCIT. The forecast of a large yield verified of peaches made in our last report is by this, and ttie yiel l will be much larger than lor a number of years. The grape prospect is good, but that of apples and pears not so favorable. TOBACCO. The drought prevented the trans¬ planting of a large number of experi¬ mental acres in this crop, but notwith¬ standing this, the area planted is much larger than heretofore.
