THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORD EFI
DROUTH HASTENS
COTTON PICKING
! Marked Deterioration In Many
Crops Due To Lack Os
Rain
ATLANTA, Sept. 18.—The semi
monthly regional report for the
f
Southeast is as follows:
CORN Late corn suffered ex-
tremely for lack of moisture during
the early part of the period. Local
showers benefited somewhat in the
last few days.
COTTON —Picking is progressing
with extreme rapidity. Drouth has
resulted in hastening maturity.
jPicking almost completed in the ex
treme southern portion, and has be
come general as far north as Ten
nessee. Deterioration is very mark
ed especially in the north portion of
the belt. Boll* weevil unusually
active in North Carolina, but some
what checked by drouth in other
states. The Florida sea island cotton
is maturing a good bottom crop.
WHEAT AND OATS—lncreased
acreage of winter grains expected.
Preparation commenced where soil
and moisture conditions permit.
TOBACCO—Harvest well advanc
ed toward completion. Quality is
good in the old belt of North Car
olina, poor in the new belt of Car
olina, and fair in Tennessee.
HAY—Large proportion of the
hay harvested. Much of it falling
under average due to lack of mois
ture.
PASTURE Marked deteriora
tion except where benefited by lo
cal showers.
PEANUTS—OutIook poor over
the entire belt.
