Its general condition, how ever, remains very poor; shedding is considerable, and where the boll weev ils are most active blooming is over, and weevi s are attacking the bolls. Weevil damage is very seriops over most or southern an,j western Georgia, iess so over the eastern districts. Pick ing cotton is now under way over much of the southern and western divisions of Georgia; less so over the eastern districts. Late corn has improved con siderably, and the crop is forming ears well. Fodder pulling is general. Curing tobacco is well advanced, with excel len results. Truck crops are rather poor and scarce; planting fall gardens continues. Pastures are fair to poor. Some good hay was saved. Pea-vine hay is doing well. Cane, peanuts, and rice show some improvements. Grapes and pears are ripening. Apples are ra ther poro. C. F. von HERRMANN. Meteorologist. "Power of Attorney."
