WEATHER REPORT
And Crop Conditions for Week
Ending August 29
Dry, warm weather with abun
dant sunshine was general over
most of the state during the past
week, only immediate coast dis
tricts receiying a little too much
rain. Cotton is opening rapidly,
and picking and ginning pro
gressed favorably. Late cotton
needs rain badly in the centrai
southern division and is shedding
top crop. In the counties ravag
ed by the boll weevil the crop was
greatly damaged. Corn is about
matured and is being housed in
the southern counties: fodder
pulling is about completed. Pe
cans and grapes promise fair
kields. Late garden and truck
Crops are poor; sowing turnips is
under way.

an expert in the weevil situation.
“The weevil at last found his
way into this garden spot of
his seed. Mr. Clark is a close ob
the people are begininng to wake
up to the realization of what is
confronting them. = For several
vears Mr. Petway has advanced
the theory of early planting and
early maturing varieties, as a pro
tection against some of the in
inroads that the weevil is making
into the cotton fields. His care
ful attention to breeding seed
have been crowned with success
and the seed we are putting out
are the result of years of prepara

in the weevil sections has been
fully demonstrated and it will be
a great blessing to our section.”.
