GENERAL SUMMARY. •

'- CO UN.
With one or two weeks more of sea- i
sonnblo weather in tna northern part of j
the state, tl.-orgia will hnrvcvt- the j
largest corn crop over mu le within hsr ;
borders.
In almost every county in the state
the crops is ns ceod r.s the lar. l
make. The only disasters have b .-n
some local hailstorm'., and the over
flowing end destruction of sotno of the
river and crook bottoms in different
sections during the latter part o; June
and tha first of July. In .-.oath r,rid
southeast Georgia many farm rs liuv •
put the land, from which the oat crop
was taken, into *-.Mexican .Tune’’ corn,
which at this timo promises a j. .od
yl-’id. This Is a wry wail corn, mot
excellent for bread and hominy, and
much liked by the people of that part
of the .-data Tiiie, 1.-iyro corn crop.

Until tho last ?o ,v days there has boon
too much rain for cotton, especially oa
sandy lands, and some eases of rust
have been reported from south Georgia.
On the whole, from tho present outlook,

been some loss since cutting, by heavy
and continuous rains.

The reports from tho rice crops arc
very flattir-ug, and there will bean
unu-;. .1 a:iM:ia,t of upland ricj raised
throughout tno state. Many farmers,
besides snpplviug t-hoir own wants, will

up in every county of lower and middle
Georgia, it- would load to a large in

that they pay well.

These crops, upon which so much of

planted more largely than usual, and j
at pm -vur, the outlook is good for an
