WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Columbians. C., July 18, '99.
At the beginning of the week
ending July 17th, the temperK
ature was lower than usual, but
with steadily increasing heat up
to Saturday (15th) on which date
it rose to from 96 to 105 degrees
except on the immediate coast.
The extreme maximum of 105 is
the highest ever recorded at Co
% i mi i .
tumoia. i ne tropic heat continued
to the close of the week.
With the exception of quite
general,but light showers through
out the State 011 the 8th, and in
a few places on the 10th, there has
been no rain of nnv consequence
in two weeks, and over the greater
portion of the State the need ot
moisture is urgent to maintain
the condition of the various crops;
indeed, over the central and west
crn counties, crops are fast fail
ing under the comhind influence
of prolonged torrid heat and extreme
dryness. Water courses
are very low, and stock is liecom
inir scarce. Dfisicratini" \rinrl?
too, aided in drying the soil and
vegetation, but made the heat
more endurable for animals.
For the first time this season,
the majority of the reports are
unfavorable on cotton, relating
that growth has practically stop
ped, that the plants are losing
their previous healthy color, and
are shedding leaves and squares,
and are blooming to the very top.
Generally, they are well fruited
with bolls. In Marion, Marlboro,
and Cherokee counties, the crop
is unimpaired. Sea island cotton
continues to do well, but in
places is blighting.
Old corn is suffering severely
irom trie dryness, and much is
injured beyond recuperation even
should it rain soon. At a tew
points only, is corn up to an
average condition. Young corn
has not reached its critical stage
of growth and generally main
tains its color, but is not making
Reasonable growth.
Tobacco has improved, (iatb
ering and curing has made rapid
progress. The crop is yielding
well, and some fields excellently.
Nearly all but the very lates!
plantings of rice have been laid
by, and as caterpillars are no Ion
ger troublesome, the crop is in
tine shape. Upland rice is. how i
ever, suffering for rain.
Melon vines are failing. IVns
dying, and acreage reduced. l\is-|
tures and gardens are burning up.]
Pears, apples, grapes and tigs are
plentiful in Charleston count v.
but the commercial crop <?!' IVui
