WEEKLY WEATHER CROP Bull

For the Week Ending Saturday, july
goth, 1890.
CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, N. Z.
The reports of correspondents of the
.Weeklv Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
hv the North Carolina Experiment
Station and State Weather Service,
cooperating with the United States
Signal Service, show that the weather
during the week, ending Saturday,
,JuIv 26th, 1890, has been generally
cloudy, damp and unusually cool over
the whole State. The temperature
ranged very low the entire week, the
highest being SO degrees at Wades
boro on the goth, and the lowest 81
degrees on the 23d at Weldon, again
lower than has ever been recorded
here in July. The rain fall has been
above the average. The first general
heavy rain occurred on Friday, and
there ear hardly be any localities
where the soil has not been thorough
lv soaked. The low temperature and
heavy rain has injured cotton to some
extent, although very few dlscourag-
ing reports have been received. Inc
normal rain fall for each week OF July
is 100 inches; the average this week
is more than an inch above the nor
NAL. The following are some OF the
heaviest rains reported, which do not
include the general rain OF the 10Th:
South, Brunswick county-5.85 inches
(of which 500 inches fell in one
mighty; Wilmington, New Hanover
co1nty-2.O9 ; Eliza eth City, Pasquo-
tank county,, 10; Gibson Station,
Richmond county-2.5O; Raleigh,
Wake county-2.2l; Salisbury, Row
an county-2.4l; Mt. Pleasant, Ca
barrus county, %; Hickory, Ca
tawba county--5.3O; Dallas, CASTOR
county-4.37. No serious damage,
however, has been reported except
that some low land crops have been
washed by overlooking streams in the
Western District. Warmer weather
and plenty of sunshine are now needed.
Next week will probably be fair with
higher temperature and will counter
act present bad effect of weather on
cotton. Other crops have improved.
Like conditions prevailed in the East
ern, Central and Western Distrlc's
during the week.

FIG CULTURE IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA.

There is no good reason why, in a
part of North Carolina, the cultivation
of the fig and. its drying should not
be a profitable pursuit. Our people
ought, at least, to grow for home use
all the best varieties. Few persons
have any notion of the great variety
of figs there are in cultivation. With
most people a fig is simply a fig, and
the idea that there are many kinds
and qualities of fig and that some
sorts are harder than others never
enters their heads. With a view to
make u people better acquainted
with the fig the N. G. Agricultural
Experiment Station has procured cut
tings of the best varieties of figs in
cultivation in all parts of the world.
There are thirty, seven varieties in all.
These are being grown at the Station
for the double purpose of testing their
hardness and quality and for growing
cuttings to be distributed in all parts
of the State. 1t is the purpose of the
Horticultural division of the Station
to make it of value to the farmers and
fruit-growers by testing and distribut-
ing new plants of special value to the
growers of the State. Full directions
for fig culture will be given in bulle
tins hereafter free to all who apply
