The special State weekly crop
bulletin shows that the week ending
Monday, June 7th, has been gener-
allv favorable throughout North
Carolina. Although the temperature
is still comparatively low, ON account
of cool nights, the warmer days and
frequent showers this week have
caused perceptible growth in crops
and improved prospects generally
The rainfall averaged about an inch
for the State. 1t is still too dry over
a few counties in the northeast and
extreme south portions. Cotton,
though small, has good stand, is
fresh in appearance, and the outlook
for that crop is not discouraging'
