State Weather and Crop Report.
Tho past weok has boon hot and dry,
with an excess of sunshine and brisk
southerly winds.
The average daily temporaturo ex
cess varied from five degrees in the
western counties to somewhat more
than seven degrees in the eastern coun
ties. Tho daily maximum tempera
turcs wore above 00 degrees generally
on the last threo days of tho week and
in many southern counties woro above
100 degrees.
Tho rainfall has boon light and con
sisted of showers tho first three days of
tho weok. In most of the southern and
in a few central and northern counties
the rainfall oxceedod ore-half inch and
in small areas exceeded an inch. In a
consldorablo portion of tho stato tho
rainfall was less than ono-tenth of an
inch and in many places no measurable
amount fell.
Tht cloudless days and high tempor
aturo of the past week havo caused
corn to advanco towards maturity very
rapidly. In tho northern counties and
in sootlons where tho moisturo was suf
ficient this has boon exceedingly favor
ablo for corn. In many sections
tho lack of moisture, combined with
tho high temporaturo, has caused corn
to dry out and rlpon too rapidly. This
will camfAfmuoh chuffy com in tho
southeastern counties uud will quite
geuernlly reduco tiiu yield of corn In
tho southern comities
. Fall plowing has mado good progress
as long as the goods last. We do
but tho ground is getting too dry in
some counties. A little rye has been
sown. Pastures need rain.
