WEEKLY CROP SUMMARY
The local United States Weather Bureau Station yesterday issued the following:
The weather was hot and humid during the week, with frequent showers, which were locally heavy and productive of some crop damage. However, the damage was confined to small areas, and does not materially affect crop conditions as a whole in the State. Corn suffered somewhat; also tobacco. The former of these is a good crop, however, although some of the early planting, especially in low grounds, is not up to its seasonal average in condition. Poland corn is doing finely for the most part, and generally late-planted corn has started off well. Tobacco improved on the whole during the week, and cutting and storing are progressing under favorable circumstances in south side counties. Further north cutting has not yet begun, but topping is about finished. Hardens and truck are thriving. In extreme southeast counties planting of the second crop of Irish potatoes is practically completed. Pastures are in excellent condition in all sections of the State. The outlook for apples continues poor, as a rule, though there are local exceptions in southwestern counties, where the prospect is favorable. Peaches are a short crop. Some plowing for fall crops has been done.
