improvement caused by the splen-did
rains was assisted by the moderate
temperatures and cloudy weather that
prevailed. Very much old corn was so
greatly damaged by drought that it can-not
recover under favorable conditions,
but all late corn appears to have been
thoroughly revived and is now pro-mising.
Cotton has revived wonder-fully,
and although the plants are still
late and small for the season, the gen-eral
abundance of blooms and free set-ting
of fruit would indicate a good
yield. The chief damage to tobacco
occurred to the forward crop in the
south and east portions. Late and
well-cultivated tobacco in the most Im-portant
tobacco-growing sections was
greatly improved by favorable condi-tions
