Good crops with fair prices are predicted. Both the farmers and business men are optimistic. Nashville, Ga. —Crop conditions in Berrien county have not been better j in ten years. The spring oat yield ; was above the average and the corn and cotton yield bids fair to eclipse any crop year within a decade. Toccoa, Ga. —Crop conditions in Stephens county and northeast Geor gia are good, and indications at the present time point to a rich harvest. Lexington, Ga. —Every one in this county looks forward to a good busi ness year, good crops and fair prices. Lafayette, Ga. —Despite bad condi tions, crop outlook in Walker county is better than for years. The unusually favorable outlook is causing the mer chants to buy in very large quanti ties for the fall and winter trade. Douglas, Ga. —The crop outlook in this county is the finest in its history. Farmers from every section report ex cellent crops of corn, peas, potatoes and sugar cane. Sea island cotton is above the average, while upland cot ton is fair. Zebulon, Ga. —Crops in this section are equal to the average of the last two or thre years. Corn is now safe and is generally good. Cotton that was well cultivated is looking well and promises a pretty fair crop. Columbus, Ga. —Columbus is pre paring for what the merchants believe will be one of the best fall seasons in years. The crops in this section of the state have been good, although the hot wave of the past few days has had a bad effect on cotton. The stocks new being ordered by mer chants are the largest bought since before the panic. Columbus will en ter the new cotton season with prac tically no stock on hand in the local warehouses. The high prices of the past few weeks resulted in the sale of thousands of bales here, reducing the stocks to practically nothing. Augusta, Ga. —Augusta and Rich mond county are looking for the greatest fall business in the history of the community. The cotton is in an excellent condition and corn is almost as good. Macon, Ga.—An entire decade has hardly afforded a more prosperous season for the farmers in Bibb coun ty. Already truck farming and gar dening has proved highly profitable. The abundance of the yield and the handsome cash returns for sales have worked to put the early croppers far ahead of anything done in recent sea sons. Jackson, Ga. —Crops in Butts coun ty are generally declared to be the best in several years. This is par ticularly true of cotton, which is sur passing the expectations of the mos; sanguine. Unless unforeseen obsta cles come up within the next few days this county will produce one of the largest crops in its entire his tory. Corn, too, is looking well. The majority of farmers have harvested their fodder, which, on account of fa vorable weather conditions, is up to the usual high standard of excellence. Forage crops and truck are looking well. Roberta, Ga. —More corn will be harvested in Crawford county this year than ever before. Cotton has a prospect for a larger crop than in 25 years. Other crops fine; large quanti ties of grain gathered. Cumming, Ga. With few excep tionss, the ’ crop outlook for Forsyth county is the best in years. On low lands, the corn crop is not so good, but on high .bottom and upland a bumper crop is almost assured. Cot ton is the best ever. Preston, Ga. —The consensus of ex pression is, the corn crop is made, and the best for years. The pea crop is unusually promising and bids fair for a fine yield. The cotton outlook will be shorter than is indi cated from the luxuriant growth at tained; forms much more scattered than usual; on sandy soil, black-ro»t is affecting its vitality. It has re quired less expense to make this crop. Blue Ridge, Ga. —On account of the heavy and continuous rains in North Georgia for the past two months, there will not be more than a half crop in our county this year. Milledgeville, Ga. —Reports received from the various plantations indicate a spotted condition of cotton, depend ing on the character of the soil and the work given. The red land crops that are clean are good; some of the gray land crops very poor. Fort Gaines, Ga. —Never in the his tory of Clay county has such ooiti crops been grown, but cotton crops are below ten year average at this time of the year. Ellijay, Ga. —Corn crops are as good in Gilmer county this year as they were last year. In the spring bottom lands suffered from too muen rain, but they are now coming out 1 and look promising. Mcßae, Ga. —The business outlook for Mcßae and Telfair county has sel dom been brighter than the present season promises. Cotton has deterio rated in the past thirty days, owing to the ravages of the black rot. Jesup, Ga. —Crop prospects in the county cf Wayne are the best in years. The corn crop is fully made and the acreage is much larger than in previous years and the yield is ex cellent. Both the long and short sta ple cotton crops are in excellent con dition. Conyers, Ga. —Reports fiom each district of Rockdale county indicate a good average cotton crop and ex tra fine corn crop. Hartwell, Ga. —The crop outlook In! Hart county is probably the best it has been for many years. From all sections of Hart county the universal opinion is that where crops have been worked that they are In better condi tion and the promise of a richer har vest of any that have been raised in this section for years. Jasper, Ga. —The prospects for good crops are the best in several years. Upland corn is in fine shape. The cotton crop will excel any years for six or eight years past. Other crops goed. The farmers have just gar nered the best wheat crop In some years. Athens, Ga. —The condition of ttte crops in this section of the state is very good. In some spots there has •been too much rain, and in others too little, but on an average the crops are satisfactory. It cannot be said however, that they are as good as the crops of last year. Cotton will prob ably yield about three-fourths of last year’s crop. Americus, Ga. —Americus bankers, merchants and business men gener'al ly were never before more ,optimistic upon the advent of the fall season, and conditions would seem to verify their belief. A magnificent crop year in southern Georgia, not only for cot ton, the money crop, but all others as well. Farmers here made this year the finest crop of oats ever grown in Sumter county, while the corn crop, already made and ready for the harvest, will be sufficient for two years. The same is true of other crops—hay, potatoes, sugar cane and tobacco, which are magnificent. Fitzgerald, Ga. —Crop reports from Ben Hill county give a very favorable outlook for this section of the sttae. The prospects were never better for cotton and corn. Hazlehurst, Ga. —The condition of business in this county this fall will be governed by the cotton market. The cotton crop of this section is cut off about one-third of the usual crop, and if the price holds up to meet the shortage, business will be good, if not business will be depressed. From a conservative estimation there will be short, from one-third to one-quar ter of the present year’s cotton crop —in this county—caused from blight and recent excessive rains. There will be a full corn crop made this year. Waynesboro, Ga. —The crop outlook, as gathered from the loading farmers of the county, is very bright. Lawrenceville, Ga. With favora ble weather continuing throughout the remaining summer and fall, arid with a late frost, the indications now arc that Gwinnett will make one of tut best crops in several years. There was a larger acreage of corn planted than usual, and it is fine. A large amount of peas and sorghum were sowed. Calhoun, Ga. —Crop prospects in | Gordon county have improved great ly. The heavy continued rains of the spring and early summer months caused streams to overflow bottom lands and very little corn was plant ed. The cotton throughout the coun ty is fine and 'veil fruited, but corn is poor and short. Blakely, Ga. —The crop condition* in Early are as good if not better than the county has known in many years. This includes cotton, corn, peas and cane. , Hawkinsville, Ga. —The corn and cotton crops in Pulaski, according to the reports of the leading farmers, are as good as usual and in some sections above an average. The oat crop has turned out well. In fact, it is said that more oats have been harvested this year than for many years past. Carrollton, Ga. —The crop outlook for Carroll county is only fair. On account of the rains, cotton is unus ually large, with but very little fruit to date. If the seasons are suitable and the fail late, a good average crop of cotton will be made in this county. The leading business men are making preparations to do a fairly good busi ness, and if the price of cotton stays up, trade this fall and winter will be on the average. Bottom corn has received great damage on account of the overflows, and not more than half a crop can be made. There has been an unsually large crop of wheat and oats harvested this year. Abbeville, Ga. —Wilcox county has now already made the largest crop in the history of the county. The farm ers all made large crops of oats, and the corn crop is the best ever made in the county. Acreage in cotton is larger than ever before, and consid ered better. Talbotton, Ga. —The conditions of the crops are about an average foi the different sections of the county. At present cotton indicates 75 per cent condition and prospect for yield, while corn will yield about three fourths of a crop. The bottom corn is largely a failure throughout the county. Statesboro, Ga. —The indications in this county of the cotton crop are; to the effect that in the past tan days | the crop has fallen off at least 10 per cent, following heavy and continuous rains. Douglasville, Ga. —The crop outlook in Douglas county is good, and the | crop will probably be a little above an average crop. Thomaston, Ga. —Crop conditions arc favorable for a good yield and the outlook good for a good fall and winter business in this section. Georgetown, Ga.—The cotton crop in this county, in fact in this section of the state, is not so good as the weed would indicate. It is believed that the crop will be short. Ringgold, Ga.—The crop ouiiock In Catoosa county is bad for both com and cotton. More favorable for sweet potatoes. The estimate of best judges is that corn and cotton will fall from 25 to 50 per cent below average of past ten years. So much rain here that fanners were unable to work their crops. Homer, Ga.—Rev. W. L. Barker, who has seen a large part of the crops in Banks county, says the cot ton crop is a full crop, and that the upland corn is fine, but little corn oa bottom land. There will be 00 per cent of a cotton crop and 15 j*ev cent corn crop. Cartersville. Ga.—With crop condi tions greatly improved in Bartow county, with a number of new manu facturing enterprises nearing comple tion, and with every ore mine in the county running full blast, it scents a sure thing that business in Carters ville and Bartow county this fall wfH be the best in many years. Lincolnton, Ga. —Conservative esti mates place the cotton crop iu this county at 80 per cent, which is about 5 per cent better than last year. Titr acreage is about the same. The corn crop is the finest that has been made in the county in many years. Ajr extra large crop of peas, potatoes hay w'ill also be harvested. Warrenton, Ga. —From statement* made by conservative farmers, the crops in Warren county are excep tionally good, cotton averaging SO per cent of normal crop, and the largest crop cf corn raised in many yeans will soon be harvested. Thomson, Ga. —Excessive rains l«. this county will cause the cottou crop to fall short of what the farmers have been anticipating. The per cent will be about 75 or 80. The corn crop over the entire county is the hestt that has been grown in ten or twelve years. This will average 85 or per cent. Savannah, Ga.—From present indi cations farmers and truck grower* round about Savannah and Chatham county will enjoy an unsually flue fall crop this year. A larger acreage than usual has been planted and the crop* are growing finely. Covington, Ga.—Although there vtt an unusual amount of rain in thta county during the months of Mar and June, the outlook for a good crop here is very good and business inter ests are beginning to revive and eve rything is taking on a hopeful look. It is the conservative estimate that the crop will be equally as good as lau»t year, and many predict that it wUI be considerably larger. Reidsville, Ga.—The crop outlook In this county was never better. There is not quite as much acreage of cot ton planted as last year, but it i* much better. Especially is this true of sea island cotton. And this county largely plants that kind of cotton The corn crops are fine; all crops are good in this county this year. Wrightsville, Ga. —Business men of tins city are very hopeful of a revival in business affairs this fall. ii> view of the fact that the crops of the county are considered good. Farmer* and business men who are in louca with the situation are confident that the cotton crop will this year be slightly above the average; the cane and sweet potato crop generally over the county w r as never better. Many farmers have feed stuffs abundantly, having made a splendid oat and bay crop. Cleveland, Ga. —The crops of this county are not as good, on an aver age, as usual, owing to so much rain. Crops will fail short at least um*- fourth. Eastman, Ga. —Crop prospects in Dodge county were fine until thirty days ago. Since then heavy rains; have worked material damage to the crop, and it is estimated have dam aged the cotton crop from 20 ta ZU per cent. The business outlook, how ever, for fall and winter trade looks especially encouraging. Corn and cane crops throughout this section are very fine. Haddock, Ga. —The crop conditions* in Jones county are very satisfactory.

Cotton is In a flourish ing condition. Gray, Ga. —The crop prospects arer very promising in Jones county aud the farmers generally are feeling good over the outlook. The merchants, the bankers and the business people gen erally are expecting a prosperous tall with good collections. Moultrie, Ga. —Probably not before in the history of this county have the farmers had as fine crop as this year. The oat crop w r as an unusual one; the corn crop is certainly the best, ever made, and cane, potatoes, pin ders and peas promise an abundant yield. Cotton is a fair crop, though the hot suns of August have injured it to some extent. Jesup, Ga. —Wayne county farmer* have diversified their crops very free ly this year and asfde from the very large crop of corn and cotton to b« harvested, hundreds of acres have been devoted to growing velevt bean*, peanuts, chufas, sugar cane and po tatoes, all of which promise an ex cellent yield. More fat beef cattle and hogs will be sold from the lam in this county than ever before, Elberton, Ga. —The present crop prospect in this county is the best in several years.
