The directors of the South Carolina section of the Department of Agricul ture issue the following bulletin: The temperature during the week ending S a. m., June 26th, averaged 4 degrees per day above normal. The extremes wer- a maximum of 100 degrees at Flor-ne on the 23rd. and a minimum of 4; di-rees at Greenville on the 22nd. Ti:-re was more than an average amouit of bright sunshine. Although :he;e were no destructive wind storms, Yet there were fresh to brisk winds each dJay which, being hot and dry, had a wilting effect on all vegetation, and caused the ground to dry out very fast. There were scattered showers on sev era! days dhuring the middle of the week. most numerous in the extreme western and northwestern border coun tries, and widely separated in other parts. By far the larger portion of the State had no rain. The showers were heavy in parts of Oconee, Barnwell and Florence counties and were generally light elsewhere. There is urgent need of a general rain in all parts of the State though the drought is most severe in the central counties where the defi ciency since the firt of June amounts to from two to over three inches, there having occurred no beneficial rain du ring this month. In many places the ground has become baked and hard and unworkable. Farm work made rapid progress du ing the week where the soil was fit fot cultivation. and practically all fields have been rid of grass and weeds, are in better condition than at any time this season. Cotton is suffering less from the drought than other crops, and made a general improvement although the plants continue small and are growing slowly. Cotton has now a healthier color. and is fruiting normally with a marked increase in the area from which blooming is reported. The improvement is confined principally to cotton on heavy soils, while on sandy lands thc crop continues poor and unpromising, and in many places lousy, and the plants have a si ckly appearance and in a few sections are shedding their lowe: leaves. Sea Island cotton is in good co:ition but has begun to wilt in places. Corn is suffering for rain, and early corn is very poor; later plantings are better but will soon deteriorate unless it rains. Most of the March plantings have been laid by. Worms continue de structive in the western counties. To bacco leaves ar3 ripening and seme of the lower ones have been stripped cured and marketed. Wheat and oats harvest is now finished. Tide water ri'e is doing well: Jiune plantings in the Georgetown district are coming up tc fairly good stands. Gardens doing poorly. Shipments of reaches are heavy from the Ridge section. Cantaloupe shipments have begun, and water mel ons will be marketed next week. Pastures are failing. It has been toc dry to plant peas on stubble lands. J. W. Bauer. Section Director. No Sunday Freight Trains. There have been complaints made tc the railroad commisison respecting the ooeration of freight trains on Sunday. The transportation companies claim that they are not violating the law and that whatever hauling is done by rai road companies on Sunday is by means of through freights of perishable cargo, starting before 12 o'clock Saturday nighot. and sucih trains cannot be stop ped-having-the protection of the inter state commerce law. However, in order to put the railroad companies on theix guard and to prevent the handling o1 trains in' violation of the lay, the com mission has adopted a circular lettei which has t en sent to the transporta tion companies and the members of the commission will receive information as to special cases of violation of the law. $140,000 Improvements.
