THE WEEKLY CROP REPORT.

Highly Favorable.
The weekly crop report issued by
the government for Georgia is as fol
lows:
The greater portion of tne week
was very warm; maximum tempera
tures exceeding 100 degrees were reg
istered on several dates, hut cooler
conditions obtained at the close. On
Saturday night, and Sunday heavy to
excessive showers occurred in the ma
jority of the counties, particularly in
the eastern and southern sections. At
numerojjs points the rainfall ranged
from 2 to 6 Inchcsk effectually break,
ing the prevailing drought. Tne north
western counties received the least
amount of rainfall, so that, the supply
of moisture there is hardly ample for
present needs, and more will soon lie
required. The general conditions of
all crops, with few exceptions, is con
sidered highly favorable, and the out
look is flattering. Cotton continues
in fine condition in the majorty of
counties/; it is in a good state of cul
tivation, is blooming profusely in the
