I lie following report of the cjondition ci (he weather and cnypsvli) this state dur::ig September Irjs been- Issued h* Hie dm . (or of tln? South Carolina hoc tion of the Cnited States Weather ami crop service: Following (ho short cool period af. die tl'M of August, exceedingly warm weather again prevailed during tl??* ii:vf and part of (.ho second decades of September. after which timo generally cool weather prevailed to the end of the month, with night temperatures Imw enough for ligiit frostn on the 23d, fVtb and 80th in exposed localities l.t i ho contra I and western counties. The frosts wore not general, and scarcely injili ions, wiir.e they occurred, to own the most tender vegetation. Although there was it dellclency of nearly two inches la the average rain full. and ovor considerable areas tho acfti.il nnumntR worn logn than ano i lull , yet tiirre was moisture enough in (lie ground to keep unripe Hold crops in n growing condition, and lo cattily prepare laud.-. for fall grain cropa. Tho need i f more rain was indicated in the <u.,.s (lucking regoins. but no serious Injury resulted from the light precipi tation. There was tin tuiAoUil amount of sunshine, which, tog^thor with the cool weal her which prevailed during tho last half of the month, and tho gen erally light rainfall, made Ideal weath er for gathering and housing llel.t < rops No marked changes occurred in th? conditions of field ciopa.^t tmbtltal)lc to the weather condition*. Tnero wm a slight decline in the condition of cot - ton. ascribed partly to thn excessive hoot diirlng the first porton of the nvitii which caused too rapid open ii u <f bolls; ami partly to (ho cool weather during the latter portion of the in":/:-,. The high (cmpo'faturea o.iul moisture also caused a rank and heavily fruited (op growth on the pin ii I , over the western counties, but the abnoi in. illy cool weather during the third decade checked the growth of (ii<> lop crop to the extent uf mak ing H( Improbable that much of it^ would ,e\ i !'.tu:illy come to maturltyv Picking .nude rapid progress, and cotk ton way saved In excellent condition' with t hf- lint of an a vcrage hlfph^rade. The 'weather was unfavorable for lnte\jBrn, much of which find Hot como (o maturity by the close uf the month, and, generally, there wasja/tdlght Im provement during the mGmth,/due to tho good growing weather dnririg the first half. Much fodder wan yfsavou early in the month, and during the fitter part considerable corn tvas htntscm ' Itice harvest made favorable prog ress. and. aside from some damage by \rlce birds, which were unusually ??u mfrsous, (he gathering of a large crop of excellent quality was uninterrupted. June plantings hnd not ripened suffi ciently to be harvested by the end of September. The minor crops did remarkably well; among ?the food crops, sweet po (atocs, and of forage crops, poavities. were partially favored by tile weather conditions, except that frost nipped both over small areas before they were fully matured. Large quantities of excellent hay were rut and cured. The yields of syr up from sugar and sorghum canes were variable. Turnip!) came up to fairly good stands after much replanting. Some oats, barley and rye were sown, and lands were prepared for wheat. Good stands of tho former grain* were tho rule. 1. \V. UAUKR. Palmetto Items.
