North Carolina Weekly Weather Crop
Bullet Ia.

The first crop bulletin of the State
| Weather Service of the \. G. AgKicul-
! tural Experiment Station, cooperating
with the u. 5. Weather Bureau, was
issued from the central office in Raleigh
| April 9th. 1t is mailed on Monday.
covering the previous week, to all news
| papers OF the State in time to reach the
| papers Just gong to to press. There
are now over 300 correspondents loca-
ted in every one of the 96 counties, suf
ficient to give very accurate summaries
of the effect of the weather upon the
crops as to rainfall and temperature,
and the general condition of the staple
crops trucking crop, fruit industry, etc,
in various sections of the State. To
facilitate comparison the State is divi-
ded into the eastern district, central,
and western. The bulletins will be
continued each week during the grow
ing season, ending about October IS,
| and will be sent free to applicants who
after reading them, will agree to post
the bnlletin in conspicuous place.
Spraying Orchards and Vineyards.
The general destruction of the fruit
crop this year by the March freeze will
make fancy prices for those who have
been able to save part of their crops.
While the fruit buds of peaches, plums
and black berries are nearly all destroy
ed, of grapes we may still expect from
t-3 to 1-2 an average crop, and Of late
apples and European pears nearly full
crop.
Many fruit growers will be discour-
aged and think it not worth while to
fight fungi and insects this year. This
is very unWise even where there is no
prospect of fruit for the present year
If these pests are allowed to multiply
and spread without hindrance this year
they may get such a firm foothold in
an orchard or vineyard that it may take
years to dislodge them. The more ten
der kinds of trees and vines are more
or less enfeebled by the frost and these
will be attacked with special virulence
by the pests. Unless aid is given by
the owner the pests may completely
destroy the attacked plants this season
The only safe plan is to start the spray
er as usual and keep it going as long as
any signs of noXious insects or fungi
appear. Full directions for spraying
fruit trees and vines are given in Bulle-
tin % of the North Carolina Experiment
Station which is sent free to residents
of the State and to non-residents who
send 10 cents in stamps. Nc

AduIt~rated Cattle Food.
Many people in North Carolina who
feed stock. purchase wheat bran. In
all the towns where there is no local
mill. this bran ID purchased b. the ton
or car load from western mills or whole
sale dca Srs who have taken II from
producers, Some Of this bran gets TO
It's consumers badly aduitcrateG. Re-
ce~tly out Of some bran purchased from
a distant place and Offered for sale 1T
Raleigh was found the following. IN
ground kernel- Of wheat, oats, cocItlc,
chess or cheat and several other varie-
ties Of weed seeds to the amount of
10. % per cent OF the whole on the sup
position that all was like the sample
pound drawn Some Of the light ~ heat
kernels on examination were filed with
"A dark powder which was prOba bly,
burnt or sinking smut (Puccinia ru bi-
g0-vcral one of the worst pests of wheat
growing localities.
The cookie seed Uychnis githagOI
was present to fine amount OF 2TT per
cent, or in other words this bran con
tanned 5b.4 pounds of cookie seed per
ton Of bran Chess, or cheat, BrOmua
sscaIinusj formed l.Ol per cent of the
mixture called bran which held 2O,2
pounds of che@ per ton.
On the Experiment Farm where the
stable manure has been weighed il was
found that four mature horses with one
colt, fourteen cows two bulls, one old
steer and three swine produced fifteen
tons of stable manure per month. At
a moderate estimate for bran IA tons
would be consumed by this stock per
month. Thus the - tons of sta BILE
manure would be stocked with seed
enough to insure a fair stand of weeds.
Those who feed this kind Of bran should
invest in weed killing implements, for
they are sure to be needed, not only
this year but continually for some time.
There ought to be a penalty for adul-
teration, especially whore the foreign
matter may do as much harm as weed
seeds are apable of doing. This prao-
tice should warn purchasers to be par
ticular to buy by sample and to accept
nothing poorer than was shown in sam
pie. 1t makes an argument for an
honest local miller. who if he offers
weed seeds viii tell you what you are
buying and grind them, so you will not
be burdened by future weed crops. f

neither the scorching rays Of a torrid
/ sun, nor the freezing blasts of north
ern winds, destroy the labor of the
husbandman. No season is too
warm To work in the open air, and
none SO cold that the farmer is kept
| within doors for weeks az time.
| SHEEP uUsBANDRY.
Sheep husbandry for market has
! never claimed the attention of our
people, but every. farmer of any
prominence owned from fifty TO one
hundred head for family use, for
wool and mutton. These sheep run
through the woods at large and re-
| cieved no attention from their own
ers, except to salt them and clip the
wool from them. AS to feed they
made their own living or the COM
mon range, where the wild grasses
grow thick and are never exhausted
by heat, drouth, Or The many thous
ana stock which feed there. From
the middle of March until the first
Of December. the old fields furnish
the finest of pastures. Sheep are
perfectly free from disease here.
None have TO be dipped for scab or
ticks. This is truly the home Of the
sheep, none better. The price Of
common sheep is from 81 so to 50 =
the carcass weighing from 60 to 80
pounds. A cross direct of Cotswold
or Southdown and natives gives a
large carcass and great quantity
of wool. This cross on the native
sheep we can produce a breed of
sheep healthier and better suited to
our climate soil and pastnrage than
any of the improved breeds. The
half bloods are worth double thei,
dams. Sheep raising offers source Of
profit unsurpassed in any State
All breeds can De raised in perfect
health, almost without feed and care
and the yield Of wool is of fine quail
ity. The raising of lambs Tor early
markets OF the North and west, O.
itself alone opens up aew and re.
munera,ive field ofpursuit.
STOCK RA SING AND DAIRyING.
Cattle like sheep do well here, ma
tive cows sell from So to Is dollars
per head and weigh from $50 10 500
lbs neat. The Jersey and short
horn thrive in our climate and pro
duce large quantities OF purest gol.
den yellow butter of tnc finest fla
vor. The celebrated blue grass re-
gions of Ky. cannot excel 1t. The
large quantities Of root crops and
| various kinds of forage raised aud
the large flow OF pure sweet water
offer great inducement to dairying
industries as the demand for butter
to supply our markets is always
good.
RAISING OF Ho0s.
This is an industry that is sadly
neglected, that OF raising pork for
market. The hog Is neglected aud
allowed to run loose in the woods
and make their living from nuts.
acorns, wild berries etc. 1t Is not
an uncommon thing To- takc hogs
from the WOODS and after being
dressed will weigh from 200 to $50
4 pounds. Hogs can be raised in this
