NUTS, AND DATES.

The culture of the pistache nut Is
likely to prove of very considerable
value in California, Arizona and New
Mexico. With the exception of the
hime-consumed product Of few iso-
lated trees, the entire quantity now
used in this country is imported and
its use is limited almost exclusively to
ice cream and confection favOring,
says the Scientific American.
Along the Mediterranean where the
choicest walnuts and almonds are
raised, the pistache is considered the
very best of all nuts for table use. 1t
is very nutritious and fattening and Of
a delicious favor IF its own, and
should soon come TO be leading -arti-

Swingle, who has been investigating
foreign plants and fruits. perfected ar
engagements by which some choice
gratis will reach this country next
spring.
While able to Withstand considera-
BILE frost in winter, the date palm must
have a very dry and exceedingly hot
climate at the time of the ripening OF
the dates. The sandiest and, generally
speaking, the poorest soils produce the
best dates; while it will yield in any
soil, it takes most kindly to otherwise
almost worthless land, even that
which is white with alkali suiting it.
Still, an abundance of water is at GER

RAIN CAME TOO LATE.
And In Some Sections 1t Has
Not Yet Come at All.
The, Prospects For a Top Crop Of Cotton Are
Very Poor. In Some Places Half the
Crop is Already Open.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin, issued
yesterday by the Weather Bureau
here, says that many favorable reports
were received for the week ending
Monday, September 3, in consequence
of the widely distributed rainfall
which occurred on several days, yet
most reports indicate that the rains
came too late to improve the pros
poets for the staple crop to any eX-
tent. Moreover, many places are still
extremely dry, so that fall blowing
and planting is impossible. The tenn
perature for the week averaged de-
grees daily above the normal, but
moderated toward the close, the
nights becoming somewhat cooler.
Where rains occurred peanuts, field
peas, and sweet potatoes were refresh
ed, and the moisture stopped prema-
ture opening of cotton bolls to a con-
siderable extent. Much fall blowing
was done and turnip seeds sown. Fod-
der pulling is nearly over in the east,
but is just underway in the west por-
ton of the State.
1t is hardly possible that the wealth
er conditions can materially affect the
yield of corn; much has been cut and
stands in shock.
Cotton is opening very fast, and
picking has become general; in many
counties the crop is half open. The
prospects for late or top crop are
very poor.
Uncut tobacco has been badly
scorched and is curing poorly; cutting
is proceeding actively in the north
central counties.
The rice harvest has begun; the crop
is fine along the lower Cape Fear
river, but poor in northeastern coun-
ties. u
The melon season is nearly over.
