Weekly Weather-Crcp Bulletin

The weather during the week
ending Saturday June ID, was
much the same, in most sections
of the state, as during the week
preceding, cool and dry. Good
rains have fallen in most counties
of the southwest and in few
counties of the southeast section
and in a few localities the rainfall
was very heavy, but in other sec
tionS only light scattered showers
are reported and all crops are
suffering from drouth.
Wheat, generally, is dnfng well,
considering the unfavOrable con-
ditions that have prevailed, but in
many counties the crop has been
cut short by the dry weather and
much damage has been done by
cHiHcn DugS.
In the northwest section and in
many counties of the central and
southwest sections. oats will be al
m oSt a failure. In some counties
of the eastern sections they are
coming on better than was expect
ed.
Corn, as a rule, has grown but
little during the week owing to the
cool nights, but is regaining its
color and in those sections where
drouth prevails is holding its own
better than other crops.
In many northern counties pota-
toes will be light crop unless rain
comes soon. In the southern sec
tions they are generally doing
well.
Meadows are drying up and pas
lures are getting short, except in
the southern counties where rain
has fallen during the week, and
stock water is very scarce in many
localities.
Locusts are injuring young fruit
trees in a number of counties.

RIPE AND UNRIPE BANANAS.

Whether for shipment or for home
consumption, the fruit is cut as soon as
it is "full;" that is, when it has reached
its adult form and size, but is still green.
The plant is cut off by single blow OF
machete welded by powerful arm.
AS it falls, the bunch is caught, Topped
off, and laid aside, while the harvester
goes on to the next bunch. 1t is popu-
lar supposition that bananas "ripened on
the tree" are incomparably superior to
thase cut green. But, as matter #
fact, enc never eats them thus ripened
in Jamaica. They are said to be not go
good. At all events, one finds no better
fruit in texture or flavor than the best
of our own markets But every lover OF
this fruit knows that its quality varies
extraordinarily as it is offered to US.
This is due party to the different sources
from which it comes. The best that is
brought to us comes from Jamaica. 1t
is also due still more to the condition Of
the fruit when cut. Bananas which are
perfectly full will ripen mellow and de-
licious; but those cut when immature,
as too many are, will turn yellow, yet
never truly ripen, retaining always their
hard texture and unripe taste. In ia
maica, as elsewhere, the competition of
buyers leads the interruptions ones to
accept fruit of any sort, even when total
ly unfit; and this sort of competition
makes all the more unavailing the efforts
of honest buyers to raise the standard
and to teach the people to withhold their
fruit until it is properly developed.
Americans can give moral support to
these efforts by accepting only such fruit
as is mature at any price. A little pains
will soon enable one to distinguish good
from poor fruit though it is difficult to
give general statement Of the distinc-
tive differences. But, as rule, it will
be found that bananas which are largest,
deepest yellow, and least angular are the
most mature and best.-Popular Science
