Atlanta, Ga,—Reports from all sec
tions of the state tend to indicate a
wave of prosperity for Georgia this
year, Goecd crops with fair prices
are predicted, Both the farmers and
business men are optimistic,
Nashville, Ga.—Crop conditions in
Berrien county have not been better
in ten years, The spring oat yield
was above the average and the corn
and cotton yleld bids fair to eclipse
any crop year within a decade.

Stephens county and northeast Geor
gla are gecd, and indications at the
present time poing to a rich harvest.
Lexingten, Ga~—~Every one in this

ness year, good crops and fair prices,
Lafayette, Ga.—Despite bad condi
tions, crop outlook in Walker county is
better than for years, The unusually

this county is the finest in its history.
Farmers from every section report ex
cellent crops of corn, peas, potatoes
and sugar cane, Sea islanJ cotton is

ton is fair.
Zebulon, Ga.—Crops in this section

two or thre years, Corn is now safe

was well cultivated is looking well
and promises a pretty fair crop. |
Columbus, Ga.—Columbus is pre
paring for what the merchants believe
will be one of the best fall seasons
in years, The crops in this section
of the state have been good, although
the hot wave of the past few days
has had a bad effect on cotton. The
stocks now being ordered by mer
chants are the largest bought since
before the panic. Columbus will en
ter the new cotton season with prac
tically no stock on hand in the local
warehouses. The high prices of the
past few weeks resulted in the sale
of thousands of bales here, reducing
the stocks to practically nothing.
Augusta, Ga.—Augusta and Rich
mond county are looking for the
greatest fall business in the history
of the community, The cotton is in
an excellent condition and corn is
almost as good.
Macon, Ga.—An entire decade has
hardly afforded a more prosperous
season for the farmers in Bibb coun-|
ty. Already truck farming and gar-i
dening has proved highly profitable.l
The abundance of the yield and the]
handsome cash returns for sales have|
worked to put the early croppers far,
ahead of anything done in recent sea-|
sons. l
Jackson, Ga.—Crops in Butts coun-|
ty are generally declared to be the,
best in several years. This is par-|
ticularly true of cotton, which is sur-‘
passing the expectations of the masec

cles come up within the next few
days this county will produce one
of the largest crops in its entire his
tory. Corn, tco, is looking well. The
majority of farmers have harvested
their fodder, which, on account of fa-|
vorable weather conditions, is up to
the usual high standard of excellence.‘
Forage crops and truck are looking|
well.
Roberta, Ga.~—More corn will be
harvested in Crawford county this
year than ever before. Cotton has a
prospect for a larger crop than in 25
years. Other crops fine; large quanti
ties of grain gathered.
Cumming, Ga. — With few excep
tionss, the crop outlook for Forsyth
county is the best in years. On low
lands, the corn crop is not so good,
but on high bottom and wupland a
bumper crop is almost assured. Cot
ton is the best ever.
Preston, Ga.—The consensus of ex
pression is, the corn crop is made,
and the best for years. The pea
crop is unusually’ promising and bids
fair for a fine yield. The cotton
outlook will be shorter than is indi
cated from the luxuriant growth at-‘
tained; forms much more scattered
than usual; on sandy soil, black-root
is affecting its vitality, It has re
quired less expense to make this
crop. |
Blue Ridge, Ga.—On account of the
heavy and continuous rains in North
Georgia for the past two months,‘
there will not be more than a half
crop in our county this year.
Milledgeville, Ga.—Reports received
from the various plantations indicate
a spotted condition of cotton, depend
ing on the character of the soil and
the work given. The red land crops
that are ciean are good; some of the
gray land crops very poor.
Fort Gaines, Ga.—Never in the his
tory of Clay county has such coita
crops been grown, but cotton crops
are below ten year average at thisi
time of the year, |
Ellijay, Ga.—Corn crops are as
good 'in Gilmer county this year as
they were last year. In the spring
bottom lands suffered from too much
rain, but they are now coming out
and look promising.
Mcßae, Ga.—The business outlook
for Mcßae and Telfair county has sel
dom been brighter than the present
geason promises, Cotton has deterio
rated in the past thirty days, owing
to the.ravages of the black rot. b
Jesup, Ga.—Crop prospects in the
county of Wayne are the best in
years, 'The corn crop is fully made
and the acreage is much larger than
in previous years and the yield is ex
cellent. Both the long and short sta
ple cotton crops are in excellent con-
L Aty g

aistrict of Rookdale county indicate

Hartwell, Ga.—The crop outlook in
Hart county is probably the best It
has been for many years, From all
sections of Hart county the universal
opinion is that where crops have been
worked that they are In better condl
tion and the promise of a richer har
vest of any that have been raised
in this section for years,
Jasper, Ga.—The prospects for good
crops are the best in geveral years,
Upland corn is in fine shape, The
cotton crop will excel any years for
six or eight years past, Other crops
good. The farmers have just gar
nered the best wheat crop in some
years,
Athens, Ga.—The condition of tne
crops in this section of the state is
very good, In some spots there has
been too much rain, and in others
too little, but on an average the crops
are satisfactory, It cannot be sald
however, that they are as good as the
crops of last year. Cotton will prob
ably yield about three-fourths of last
year's. crop.
Americus, Ga.—Americus bankers,
merchants and business men general
ly were never before more optimistic
upon the advent of the fall season,
and conditions would seem to verify
their belief. A magnificent crop year
in southern Georgia, not only for cot
ton, the money crop, but all others
as well, Farmers here made this
year the finest crop of oats ever
grown in Sumter county, while the
corn crop, already made and ready
for the harvest, will be sufficient for
two years. The same is true of other
crops—hay, potatoes, sugar cane and
tobacco, which are magnificent.
Fitzgerald, Ga.—Crop reports from
Ben Hill county give a very favorable
outlook for this section of the sttae.
The prospects were never better for
cotton and corn, |
Hazlehurst, Ga.—The condition of}
business in this county this fall will
be governed by the cotton market.
The cotton crop of this section is cut‘
off about one-third of the usual crop,
and if the price holds up to meet
the shortage, business will be good, if
not busincss will be depressed, From
a conservative estimation there will
‘be short, from one-third to one-quar
ter of the present year’s cotton crop
—in this county—caused from blight
and recent excessive rains. There
will be a full corn crop made this
| year,
\ Waynesboro, Ga.—The crop outlook,
as gathered from the leading farmers
'of the county, is very bright.
! Lawrenceville, Ga, — With favora
'ble weather continuing throughkout the
lremaining summer and fall, and with
|a late frost, the indications now are
| that Gwinnett will make one of tne
| best crops in several years, There
was a larger acreage of corn planted
than usual, and it is fine. A large
amount of peas and sorghum were
’ sowed.
Calhoun, Ga.—Crop prospects in
Gordon county have imprcved great
ly. The heavy continued rains of the
spring and early summer months
caused streams to overflow bottom
lands and very little corn was plant
ed. The cotton throughout the coun
ty is fine and well fruited, but corn
is poor and short.
Blakely, Ga.—The crop conditions
in Early are as good if not better
than the county has known in many
years. This includes cotton, corn,
peas and cane, )
Hawkinsville, Ga.—The corn and
cotton crops in Pulaski, according to
the reports of the leading farmers,‘
are as good as usual and in some‘
sections above an average. The oat
crop has turned out well. In fact,
it is said that more oats have been
harvested this year than for many
years past. |
Carrollton, Ga.—The crop outlook
for Carroll county is only fair, On
account of the rains, cotton is unus
ually large, with but very little fruit
to date. If the seasons are suitable
and the fall late, a good average crop
of cotton will be made in this county.
The leading business men are making
preparations to do a fairly good busi
ness, and if the price of cotton stays
up, trade this fall ard winter will
be on the average. Bottom corn has
received great damage on account ot
the overflows, and not more than half
a crop can be made. There has been
an unsually large crop of wheat and
oats harvested this year.
Abbeville, Ga.—Wilcox county has
now already nrade the largest crop in
the history of the county. The farm
ers all made large crops of oats, and
the corn crop is the best ever made
in the county. Acreage in cotton is
larger than ever before, and consid
ered better.
Talbotton, Ga.—The conditions of
the crops are about an average so:
the different sections of the county.
At present cotton indicates 75 per
cent condition and prospect for yield,
while corn will yield about three
fourths of a crop. The bottom corn
is largely a failure throughout the
county.
Statesboro, Ga.—The indications in
this county of the cotton crop are
to the effect that in the past t»n days
the crop has fallen off at least 10 per
cent, following heavy and continuous
rains.
Douglasville, Ga.—The crop outlook
in Douglas county is good, and the
crop will probably be a little above
an average crop.
Thomaston, Ga.—Crop conditions
arc favorable for a good yield and
the.outlook good for a good fall and
wintby business in t?: section.
~ (eorgetown, Ga.—The cotton crop
in this county, in fact in this section
of the state, is not so good as the
‘wegll . WOUN ipglests, (It I 8 beliaved
L m:’(% Rk
Ringgold, Ga.—The crop outlook in
Catoosa county is bad for both corn
and cotton, More favorable for sweet
potatoes, The estimate of best judges
is that corn and cotton will fall from
26 to 50 per cent below average of
past ten years, So much rain here
that farmers were unable to work
their crops,
lHomer, Ga.—Rev, W. L. Barker,
who has seen a large part of the
crops in Banks county, says the cot
ton crop is a full crop, and that the
upland corn {s fine, but little corn on
bottom land. There will be 90 per
cent of a cotton crop and 75 per
cent corn crop,
Cartersville, Ga.—With crop condi
tions greatly improved in Bartow
county, with a number of new manu
facturing enterprises nearing comple
tion, and with every ore mine in the
county running full blast, it seems a
sure thing that business in Carters
ville and Bartow county this fall will
be the best in many years.
Lincolnton, Ga.—Conservative esti
mates place the cotton crop in this
county at 80 per cent, which is about
5 per cent better than last year, The
acreage s about the same, The corn
crop is the finest that has been made
in the county in many years. An
extra large crop of peas, potatoes and
hay will also be harvested.
Warrenton, Ga.—From statements
made by conservative farmers, the
crops in Warren county are excep
tionally good, cotton averaging 80 per
cent of normal crop, and the largest
crop of corn raised in many years
will soon be harvested.
Thomson, Ga.—Excessive rains In
this county will cause the cotton crop
to fall short of what the farmers have
been anticipating. The per cent will
be about 75 or 80. The corn crop
over the entire county is the Dbest
that has been grown in ten or twelve
years. This will average 85 or 90
per cent,
Savannah, Ga.—From present indi
cations farmers and truck growers
round about Savannah and Chatham
county will enjoy an unsually fine fall
crop this year. A larger acreage than
usual has been planted and the crops
are growing finely.
Covington, Ga.—Although there was
an unusual amount of rain in this
county during the months of May
and June, the outlook for a good crop
‘here is very good and business inter
ests are beginning to revive and eve
’rything is taking on a hopeful look. It
is the conservative estimate that the
crop will be equally as good as last
year, and many predict that it will
be considerably larger.
Reidsville, Ga.—The crop outlook in
this county was never better, There
is not quite as much acreage of cot
ton planted as last year, but it »
much better. Especially is this true
of sea island cotton. And this county
largely plants that kind of cotton. The
corn crops are fine; all crops are
good in this county this year.
Wrightsville, Ga.—Business men of
this city are very hopeful of a revival
in business affairs this fall, in view
of the fact that the crops of the
county are considered good. Farmers
and business men who are in touch
with the situation are confident that
the cotton crop will this year be
slightly above the average; the cane
and sweet potato crop generally over
the county was never better, Many
farmerg have feed stuffs abundantly,
having made a splendid oat and hay
crop.
Cleveland, Ga.—The crops of this
county are not as good, on an aver
age, as usual, owing to so much rain.
Crops will fall short at least one
fourth.
Eastman, Ga.—Crop prospects in
Dodge county were fine until thirty
days ago. Since then heavy rains
have worked material damage to the
crop, and it is estimated have dam.
aged the cotton crop from 20 to 30
per cent. The business outlook, how
ever, for fall and winter trade looks
especially encouraging. Corn and
cane crops throughout this section are
very fine.
Haddock, Ga.—The crop condilions
in Jones county are very satisfactory.
The condition of the corn crop gives
promise for a large harvest of this
plant; in fact, farmers of this section
claim that more corn will be made
this season than haes been made in
many years, Cotton Is in a flourish
ing condition.
Gray, Ga.—The crop prospects are
very promising in Jones county and
the farmers generally are feeling good
over the outlook. The merchants, the
bankers and the business people gen
erally are expecting a prosperous fall
with good collections.
Moultrie, Ga.—Probably not before
in the history of this county have the
farmers had as fine crop as this year.
The oat crop was an unusual one;
the corn crop is certainly the best
ever made, and cane, potatoes, pin
ders and peas promise an abundant
yield. Cotton is a fair crop, though
the hot suns of August have injured
it to some extent.
Jesup, Ga.—Wayne county farmers
have diversified their crops very free
ly this year and aside from the very
Jarge crop of corn and cotton Lo be
harvested, hundreds of acres have
been devoted to growing velevt beans,
peanuts, chufas, sugar cane and po
tatoes, all of which promise an ex
cellent yield. More fat beef cattle
and hogs will be sold from the farm
in this county than ever before,
Elberton, Ga.—The present crop
prospect in this county is the best in
several years. The cotton crop is
considered fine. The excessive rains,
