Crop Bulletin.
Over a large portion of the State,
and the eastern half generally, there
was little or no rain during the week,
while in places over the western half
fairly heavy showers occurred on the
18th and 19th. The raine were gentle
and did not damage open cotton
to any great extent.
The weather was favorable, on the
whole, for harvesting corn, cotton
and rice and for farm work in general.
Reports on cotton are very full
this week, and cover every eection
ox itic state, and they confirm previous
estimate) of a comparatively
short crop. It appears that the
promising condition near the olose of
Jane was Irreparably lrjhred by the
hot and dry weather from Jane 28th
to Jaly 10th, which subsequently
caused the plants to shed, rust and
blight and to stop growing, and while
some fields in favorable localities put
on new growth late in Augtp*. that
has since bloomed and fruited, the
majority of plants did not fruit well
daring August, and most of them apparently
died. Ootton is from twothirds
to foar-flfths open and much,
of it has been picked; indeed, some
fields have already been abandoned,
bat in a number of counties pickers
are soarce and there a smaller percentage
of the crop has been gathered.
The yields are estimated below last
year's by a majority of the correspondents,
although in five counties
the yield is estimated equil to or (
greater than last ) ear's. Frost deferred
until late in November will In- .
crease the crop materially In places.
1 Boll worms have appeared on late,
unopened bolls in Barnwell county.
Sea-island cotton is better than for a
number of years, and bears a fair top
crop; picking well underway.
Corn is being housed. Minor crops
are doing well. Truck is in a fine
growing condition.

Purity. }
Purity in flour ought to be an important
consideration in every family,
la making "Clifton" flour every grain
of wheat is thoroughly ch ant d before
grinding and is converted into flour in
a hyglenically clean, modern mill. The
flour is purified, aerated and sifted
through delicate silk oloths before it is
sacked. Absolute purity is thus assured.
The best flour looks very much like
any other flour when it Is in the sack.
The real test is in the baking. That's
where "Clifton" flour excels by every
test.?excels in purity and perfection, in
the quality and richness of the bread.
Pure floor really does not cost any
more than flour that is not strictly pure.
"Clifton" flour is guaranteed strictly
pure wheat fl >qr, and i* sold at a realonable
prioe. "Clifton" has no rival.
There is no better flour sold at any
price. Bransford Mills.
