WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
AN EXTREMELY FORTUNATE
CHANGE IN WEATHER
CONDITIONS

Raleigh, N. c.. Aug. 2.-The Weekly
Crop Report. issued by the Weather
Bureau here. says that an extremely
fortunate change in the weather con-
ditons in North Carolina occurred at
the beginning of the week ending July
80, and the gloomy apprehensions of
the farmers were removed by the CO.
pious precipitation. which thoroughly
broke the drought throughout the
State. The rains began early in the
central and west portions, but were
delayed until the 9th (Friday) in the
southeast; in some sections showers
occurred every day, and the State av-
erage exceeded the normal by over two
inches. Over several counties very
heavy downpour happened on Friday,
which washed hillsides considerably
and bottom-land corn was injured by
overflowing streams to some extent;
high winds also tangled corn in por-
lions of Buncombe. Davidson and Yad-
kin counties. but these minor unfavor-
able features are insignificant COM
pared with the wonderful revival of
crops not too greatly injured by the
drought.
The general improvement caused by
the splendid rains was assisted by the
moderate temperature and cloudy wea-
Their that prevailed.
damaged by drought that it cannot re-
cover under most favorable conditions,
but all late corn appears to have been
thoroughly revived and is now promis
ing. The moisture assures successful
caring and a fairly good crop; corn is
still being injured by chinch bugs in
some localities.
Cotton has revived wonderfully. and
although the plants are still late and
small for the season, the general album
dance of blooms and free setting of
fruit would indicate q good yield.
Shedding and rust are reported in sew
eral counties. but no more than is
usual at this period. Here and there
fields OF cotton on light sandy soil
were too much injured by the drought
to recover fully.
The chief damage to tobacco occur
red to the forward crop in the south
and east portions. Late and we'll cul-
