In his weather and crop report Section Director Bauer says that the mean temperature for the week ending Monday, Aug. 14th, was slightly above normal, over the eastern half and slightly below over the western The extremes were a maximum of lOli degrees at Blackville on the 8th, and a minimum of 64 decrees at Green ville on the 9th. There was less than the usual amount of sunshine, High winds, damaging to corn and cotton, prevailed during the middle of the week In the western counties. Bottom lands were Hooded along the upper portions of the Saluda, Broad. Wateree and Great Bee Dee rivers and their tributaries, and considerable corn destroyed. The long drought was broken over the entire state. The rainfall was heaviest In the central counties where It amounted, in places, to over six Inches, and was least in Beaufort and Georgetown counties, where it was generally less than half an inch. There was rain nearly every day and the ground is now thoroughly satur atcd. The rain was needed and in places "was very beneficial, but In others it caused deterioration in orops, especially ootton, and interferred with farm work, especially haying and pulling fodder. Nearly all crops have been laid by, and further cultivation is now impracticable. With very few exceptions, the reports on ootton Indicate rapid deterioration due to excessive shedding, rust and the plants turning yellow. These conditions prevail over praotl oally the entire state, but are most marked on sandy lands. In many places growth has stopped, while in a few plants are making new growth. Bolls are opening rapidly in the south central counties and considerable has been picked. The exoepsive heat of , the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th was very damaging on cotton. There Is a general imbrovement in , the condition of the late corn due to the ample moisture which came op portunely. Tobacco curing is nearly finished. Peas, sweet potatoes and , all varieties of cane are doing well. The frequent rains interferred with preparations for fall truck crops. Rice made tine progress.
