Columbia. 8. C., June 20, 1890 The week ending Monday,June 19th, was intensely hot during the first four days and abnormally cool the remainder of the week, The extreme maximum was 103, and the minimum 53 degrees. The raiufall was general on tlie 16-17th, and in places heavy. The week's rainfall exceeded foui inches at Blackville, and over three inches at a number of points with few places only that had less than an inch of rain. Over the greater portion of the State, it came in the form of a gentlesoak lnc rain. The extreme heat, and dryness of the early part of the week were detrimental to the development of all crops except cotton, and caused much suffering among workmen and animals in prosecu ting the cultivation of field crops, but the cooler weather and generally copious rainfall of the close of the week have ch-nged the con ditions materially for the better. Cotton made rapid growth during the week following the rains of last week and the high temperature,?favorable weather conditions for it. The early planted has excellent stands and is fruiting well, and some is blooming. Late planted has neither good stands nor reasonable size. Sea Island Gotton is very promising. (irasshoppers are eating cotton just coming up in the extreme western counties. The condition of corn was lm proved by receiving the much needed moisture, and by the drop in temperature. Old corn is in silk and tassel, and is being laid by. In the southeastern counties some corn was ruined by the drought. Wire or bud worms continue to destroy corn in a few counties. A few localities report the crop very promising. Tobacco was greatly improved by the rains, but it has poor stands and has been seriously injured by worms in Marion : transnlantinv T s CI just finished in Newberry ; contemplated acreage, reduced in Darlington. Toppiug has begun. June rice about all planted. The crop is generally doing well, but caterpillars continue to infest it in localities. Wheat and oats threshing well underway. Yield of wheat below the average, while oats are very poor generally. Pastures have started new growth. Melons bearing and growing well. Wild berry crop very poor. Teas being sown on stubble lands and with corn. Cane and sorghum vary in conunsci t:.
