WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN
Columbia, S. C., June 6,1899.
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. I'repartion
for June plantings well advanced
II i
melons are -tillering l??r rain
but. on the whole the crop is ii
good condition and is putting 01
fruit.
It has been too dry to trans
plant many sweet potato slips
IVas are being sown on stubbl
lands. Gardens and truck patche
are failing Pastures are parched
All crops are in excelled con
dition tor rain.
