WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 22.?The
week ending August 21, 1899,
contained a tew days with normal
temperature, but the week aver
aged about two degrees hotter
than usual, with a maximum
temperature of 99 at Greenwood.
The passage of a hurricane oil*
the coast gave fairly good rains
over the southeastern third of the
state where, in consequence, crops
are doing well, but over the central,
western and northern comities
there was nracticallv no rain.
and all crops?staple field, forage
and food?are failing rapidly, and
their condition is very low.
Tho passing of the hurricane
caused high northeasterly winds,
which were detrimental to crops
in the interior, and damaged rice
by whipping out grains, blew
down corn, fencing and trees, and
caused slight injury to sea island
cotton. No damage resulted from
high tides.
The reports on cotton are not
encouraging, as the crop over the
' greater portion of the state has
deteriorated from rust, shedding,
premature opening, and too earlv
maturity. The lint is short, bolls
are small, and no top crop making.
It is opening fast, and pick
ing is general. Sea island cotton
is doing well ; it is opening and
picking has begun.
Early corn is poor and beyond
improvement. Late corn stands
in urgent need of rain to make
even an ordinary crop. Fodder
pulling is finished in places and
under way elsewhere.
Tobacco harvest is about finished
except over i he western
districts, where it is drawing to a
close. The yields are generally
satisfactory, but worms are still
troublesome.
Rice is heading well. In some
sections harvesting is under way,
and will soon be general. Upland
rice is very poor.
It is too drv for turn ins to r.ome
up or grow over the western
counties. The areas of heaviest
rainfall define the areas of good I
minor crops. Sweet potatoes are
doing well generally. In the!
western portions of the state pas !
tures are burnt up

Adulterated Food.
'J'here should bo severest penlilies
indicted 011 all parties detected
in adulterating food, especially
such food as is particularly
required for children.
Some time ago the unusual
number of deaths of children in
Nashville, Tennessee, led to the
discovery that milk dealers were
jsing formaldehyde to prevent
their milk from souring. Formaldehyde
is a disinfectant generally
r"
used by health'boards and also by
private individuals where there
are cases of contagious diseases.
Those who know, chemists and
members of the medical profession,
say that formaldehyde will
accomplish the object for which
it is used, keeping milk sweet
and for almost any length of time,
according to the quantity of the
fluid used. The danger in using
milk preserved by this fluid is
that it prevents digestion and for
this reason it is peculiarly dan
gerous for children.
Milk is so easily contaminated
by the introduction of foreign
matter, that it quickly becomes a
poison.
The use of this drug is the outcome
of rascality, the desire of
the milk producer to prevent loss,
to make money at the expense of
the life and health of innocent
l i l ' i _ mi. _
purcnasers 01 ins goous. ine rascality
goes behind the milk dealer.
Formaldehyde is not sold to
the deuWr by its proper name,
but is put up and sold under dif
ferent names. There are several
brands of "milk preservers" on
the market, all claiming to be
perfectly harmless, some going
so far as to assert that the fluid is
beneficial ; but they are all the
deadly formaldehyde in some
form and the effect on the chil
dren who drink the drugged milk
is the same.
There should be a general war
made on all articles used for pre
serving food. The very best
scientific authorities condemn the
use of all food preservatives?that
is any drug or chemical or preparation
which is put into the
food or comes in direct contact
with it.
When nature lets go her grip
on food and says it is time for it
to decompose or spoil, then it is
time for us to bow to the law of '
nature and discard the food. |
Drugs and chemicals may cause
the food to retain its taste and
color, but there is poison in the
cup and loss of health or life will
result. i
Professor Ilird chemist of the
health department of Washington
city, has discovered that a number
of milk dealers of that city
have been selling milk heavily
'adulterated with formaldehyde.
I If very promptly liail warrants
is-ued tor the dealers. The pen
ally may not he great, hut the
piiiii>hmen' of the offenders will
he a warning. A few years at !
tiaril late r in thrt penitentiary
should tie the penalty. Il will
have to none to something of this'
Km I if wo expect to break np the!
praet tee j
11 i-< probably in largo cities only
where the adulteration of
miik is pracii -ed, as the demand r
is gem r<( |v greater than the sup
ply, and for this reason means i
are taken to prevent any loss.
There are oilier foods beside 1
milk which should he carefully J
watchecl and health hoards in [
large cities are giving careful \
attention to these. |
There will he overhaulings of
canned goods establishments some
day. The increased number of :
deaths from eating canned goods c
has called attention to the pro
cess 1180(1 in canning and there
will be made changes and ini
provementa demanded and all ?
will be for the good and benefit J
of the consumer.?Greenville 1
