The week ending June 5tl averaged from 4 to 7 degrees pe day warmer than usual, with uni formly high day and about nor nial night temperatures. The rainfall for the week cann in the form of scattered showers accompanied by hail and higl winds in places, which caused bu little injury to crops. The rain fall measurements ranged fron nothing to over two inches, tin latter at Blackville and States burg, with over an inch of rail at a number of widely separate! points, but generally the meas urements were less than half ai inch. More rain is needed ove the entire State. The deficiency in rainfall since March 1st varie Iroin 4 to 7 inches. The general absence ot heavy rain was favorable for cultivating field crops, which are clean anc well worked ; and also harvesting wheat and oats, the latter cro| being nearly all cut, with yield below the average over the entir< State; the gain is reported ligh in places. Wheat now promise about an average yield. Corn was improved where rail ftfll; its condition is, however, fa from promising, and crop is beini seriously damaged by worms Early corn is being "laid by." With few scattered exceptions reports on cotton are that tlx crop is doing well, and nlthougl small and growing slowly, tlx ileitis are clean. In a few locali ties cotton is putting ' on shapes.' Tobacco is not doing so wel this week as last, the d rough having injured it in places, am grasshoppers continue to infes it over the northern portion o the district, but no further injur; from worms was reported. Itice is generally doing well but in Colleton County caterpil lars continue destructive; in tin Georgetown district they wen destroyed by water.
