FLOWING UP COTTON
1sstts'fe:. - tssdlis.E
Many'FieIds Have Been Ruin
ed by Rain and Grass.
But the Hot Weather IS Bringing Out Rapidly
Such Crops as Have Been Worked.
Chinch Bugs Hurting Corn.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin, issued yes
terday by the Weather Bureau here, for
the week ending Monday, July 1st, says
the reports of crop correspondents indi-
cate that the past week has generally
been the most favorably so far this sea-
son. The week was characterized by
greater warmth, abundant sunshine, and
only local rains, although in some sec
tions heavy amounts occurred on one or
two days with hail, resulting in damage
to crops over a few counties. Over the en-
tire eastern half of the State much i'm
provement in the growth of crops was re-
ported and farmers have nearly succeed
ed in subdung weeds and grass; but over
a large portion of the central-western
district the rains have been too frequent
to permit work, and crops are still in
very bad condition. This is true chiefly
in Mecklenburg, Mcdowell, Rutherford,
Cleveland, Surry Cabarrus and Arson
counties. The local heavy rain on June
Goth greatly damaged hillsides and wash
ed away some wheat in Guilford, Randolph
Forsyth and Alamance.
The midday temperatures during the
week were generally above 80 degrees, but
the daily mean only averaged about 2
degrees above the normal. Showers
would be beneficial in the northeast por
tion of the State.
Cotton made considerable Improvement,
is small but vigorous and is beginning to
put on squares more freely; the lateness
of the crop is indicated by the fact that
generally at this season blooms are album
dant, but SO far have been reported by
only two correspondents, in Jones and
Arson counties. Many fields of cotton
are still extremely grassy, and some far
mers are blowing up and planting peas.
Corn on uplands is generally under good
cultivation and growing nicely; laying
by old corn is progressing rapidly; it is
coming into silk and tassel, some rather
low. Chinch bugs are doing much damage
to corn in several counties.
Laying by tobacco is also underway;
where we'll cultivated tobacco is growing
nicely, but in grassy fields it has made
little progress
Harvesting wheat is nearing completion,
some has been housed, and threShing has
begun; complaints of damage to wheat in
shock are very numerous from central
and western counties. Cutting oats con-
tinues with prospects for very fine yield.
June peaches and apples are in markets,
and appear inferior in quality; dewberries
and blackberries are quite abundant;
grapes in some localities are rotting.
Melons are late. Glover and meadow
grass are very fine, and as soon as har
vesting is over farmers will probably be
able to secure an excellent supply Of hay.
