Peach Buds Were Frozen

Practical horticulturists, and esncc-
tally Mr.. Il. y. Berry. fruit tree in
spector for Bent county. have been
making careful examination of fruit
buds of the peach trees and of the
grape vines. and are convinced thnt
the excessive cold weather of the Dnst
week has destroyed all prospects for n
peach and grape crop the coming sea
son.
1t is now an acknowledged fact.
among observant Orchardists, that the
fruit bud of the peach and grape can
not withstand a steady temperature of
~ degrees or more below zero for any
length of time without being killed. AS
there nave been several nights during
the present storm in which the mer-
curry dropped to 20. and in some Iocali-
ties In the valley has been reported
still lower, fruit raisers have been
brought face to face with the probabiI-
tiles of serious losses. Investigation in
numerous orchards show that there is
scarcely a peach or grape tree but
shows injury
Other varieties of fruit are apparent
ly withstanding the cold in good shape.
The sheep raising industry is attract
ing considerable attention OH the west
ern slope and quite n number have de-
clared their intention to engage in that
business the coming season. The fact
that one can get 4 start in the business
with small capital is the greatest ar
gument in favor of sheep and men of
small means are looking to sheep rails
ing as an opening where they can get
into paying business without very
great outlay of money.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
The Past Week Generally. Favorable
to Farm Work.

The Crop Bulletin issued yes,er-
day by the Weather Bureau here says
that the reports of corresl'on'
| dents for the week ending
Monday, May sth, 1899, were
generally favorably and indicate
encouraging prospects for agricultural
interests; although the lateness of the
season is still evident and greater diver
sity in the condition of crops begins TO
appear In some sections the weather
has been so favorable during the past
| four weeks that many farmers are now
up with their work. The week opened
dry, and very warm. The highest tenn
peratures so far experienced this season
occurred on May Sd, and exceeded 80
degrees in the central west section Of
the State. Although the latter p1rt Of
the week 9th to 7th) was clouly and
cool, almost sufficiently so TO retacd the
growth of cotton, the temperature OH the
whole was degrees or > degrees above
the normal and was favorable to growth.
Local thunderstorms occurred on the
evening of the Sd with high winds and
hail in eastern counties, which caused
comparatively little damage to crops.
Scattered showers continued, and heavy
| thunderstormS occurred over the caSterl
half of the State Snday and Monday,
averaging about 1.50 inches IN amount
of precipitation. On the whole the rain
fall was beneficial, and afforded excellent
opportunities for transplanting tobacco.
In the Western District more rain is
needed for wheat and oats, which "re
now suffering to some extent FROM
drought. Many bottom LANDS were plow-
ed and planted this week
Planting cotton continues actively. Cot
ton is coming up to Il good stand, and
the young plants look strong and healthy;
chopping has begun in places. Plant
ing corn is nearing completion; early corn
| is now almost large enough TO be plow-
ed for the first time in the south. and
working over has begun in Il few places.
Cut worms have done some damage.
Transplanting tobacco received uucn at
tention; in many eastern counties this
work is finished; in central and western
preparations are advanced, but plants
are small and late; setting out Will, how
ever, be accomplished in good time. The
acreage of peanuts is large. irish pcta-
toes are growing nicely, but unfortunate
| ly potato-bugs have appeared. Sweet
potato sprouts are ready to set Car
dens are advancing rapidly Rice is
coming up nicely in eastern counties.
Wheat and oats are beginning to head.
and promise well where there are good
stands, but conditions are very diversi-
fed. Grapes are setting fruit nicely. At

THE THIRD WHITE CASE.
The Small PoX Patients and Suspects
Being Released.

One new case of small pox was dis
covered here yesterday. The patient
is a white man, the third white per-
son in the city to have it. His name
is j. Il. Peele on South Mcdowell
street. He contracted the disease
from family of negroes who lived
next to his store. This was two weeks
ago, but Peele refused to be vacci-
mated.
Forty-two persons were yesterday
released from the pest house and the
house of detentiOn-siXteen from the
former and twenty-six from the lat
ter. This leaves ninety persons still
confined in quarantine there.
The small poX situation is now well
under control and Health Officer
Sale thinks that by the last of the
week all those now in confinement
can be released.
