VARYING CONDITIONS SIR GEOFFRYT'S KIN
Crops Good in Northeast. Poor
in South and West.
Excessive Rains in One Section Make Outlook
Bad While in the Other Where Less Rain
Fell Conditions Are Diversified.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin issued by the
North Carolina Section of the Climate and
Crop Service by the Weather Bureau for
the week past says:
Frequent showers with cloudy cool
weather prevailed during the week just
passed Rains occurred at some place or
other in the State on every day of the
week and were quite heavy on the 21st
and night of the oath, causing freshets in
the smaller streams; but generally the
rains were local in character, and over
many counties there were favorable OPP
pCrtunities for farm work. The tempera-
ture averaged 5 degrees below the daily
normal, but was not sufficiently low to
be injurious or to check growth Maxi
mum temperatures exceeding 80 degrees
occurred on Sunday and Monday with in
creased sunshine and really Summertime
weather. The condition of crops has be-
come very diversified; generally in the
northeastern section and along the north
ern border of the State where less rain
fell, cultivation has progressed rapidly
and crops have made fairly good growth,
though they are still very backward; in
the south central and west portion rain
has been continuous, cultivation almost
impossible, and all crops are in very bad
condition in consequence of grass and
weed.
Wheat harvest is nearing completion in
the central-east section, blu: has been de-
layed by wet weather in the west; lack

FAVORABLE WEEK FOR CROPS.
In the Carolinas and Florida Cotton is Very
Grassy.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 25.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop condi
tions is as follows:
The temperature conditions of the
week ending June oath were highly favor
able in nearly all parts of the country.
The South Atlantic States, which suf
fered from excessive rains in the previous
week, have experienced more favorable
conditions for cultivation, which has been
seriously delayed
Further and general improvement in
the condition of corn is indicated. In the
Southern States the corn crop is doing
well except in Texas, Louisiana and
Southern Mississippi, where it is greatly
in need of rain, and especially in Texas.
In the Atlantic coast States the crop has
made favorable progress, but needs cul-
tivaton in portions of the Virginias and
Carolinas
winter wheat harvest has advanced
under favorable conditions during the
week. Increased reports of rust are re-
ceived from Ohio and Virginia In the
Carolinas grain in shock has suffered
some injury from moisture. In the cen
trail portions of the cotton belt cotton
has continued to improve. In the Caro-
linas and Florida the crop is very grassy,
but has received much needed cultiva
ton in Georgia. In Southern Carolina,
however, a slight Improvement is report
ed, but in both the Carolinas and Florida,
the condition of the crop is now proms
ing, some fields in South Carolina having
been abandoned. Over the Northern por-
tion of the Western districts cotton has
made rapid growth, and while holding out
well in Louisiana and Texas it would be
greatly benefited by rains. Some picking
has been done in Southern Texas.
In the principal tobacco States tobacco
is growing well and the stands are
good Transplanting is now about finished
in the more northerly sections and cut
ting has begun in South Carolina"

GROWS LIKE UNTO A GouRD.
The Phenomenal Development of
Oklahoma I'm wealth and
Industry.

Really no state or territory can
show record of growth in the past
decade that compares in any way with
that of Oklahoma, says the Boston
Transcript. That territory came into
being one fine spring day about IL
years ago, when at a signal that the
promised land was open there was q
rush of boomers that has never been
equaled or surpassed. Eastern visitors
who were in the southwest at the time
found everybody talking Oklahoma,
and thousands making their way
thither, some in trains, others in wag-
ons, and not few on foot. There was
such an Oklahoma fever that conserva-
tive easterners were prepared to accept
the prediction often heard in Texas at
that time that Oklahoma, born In q
boom, would collapse with the inevits-
BILE snbsidence of the excitement.
But Oklahoma did nothing Of the
kind. 1t has now q population of 39s.-
245, which is 5000 more than Vermont
has and more than double Delaware's
population. There are 1000 more peo-
pie in Oklahoma than there are in
North Dakota. New Hampshire has
but 1900 more inhabitants than Okla
homa. Oklahoma remains a territory,
while Idaho. with 16l, ,77l Inhabitants.

$4,000 more inhabitants than Mon
tana and more than nine times as many
people as Nevada. Moreover, Okla
homa has very solid" population
which goes in for, public schools and;
banks, which is industrious and thrifty.
Oklahoms's claim to admission a. =

Probably the delay is in a measure due
to Ol-lahon1a's own desire for some

0Go0D LANGUAGE TO LEARN.
The Russian Il Now Considered In
valuable to Those Engaged
I'm Trade.

When every progressive young Ger
man is doing his utmost to acquire a
thorough knowledge of some other
language than his own it seems .
waste of time for the Englishman to
learn German with an idea of making
money. Instead, he should learn
Russian. Russian is not only the
official language, but the actual me-
dunn of communication throughout
an empire that extends from the
Baltic to the Yellow sea, says Pear
sons Weekly.
Years ago on the Moscow exchange
one might transact business as read
lily IN German as in Russian; now the
native merchants. even those who
know German, require some special
inducement to speak it, and in the
hurry of business turn aside impa-
tientiy from anyone who addresses
them in any other tongue than that
they themselves habitually use. In
the near future knowledge of Rus
sian will be worth more to the mere
commercial than any two continental
languages, for Russia is making gi-
gantic strides in all industries. AS a
recent visitor aptly describes it, "Rus-
sia is a new America"
To young man who adds to a
knowledge of Russian practical ex-
perience in any staple industry, Rus
sia offers a promising career. Mere
theoretical knowledge is not enough;
this is taught, and well taught, in the
special universities: st. Petersburg
alone turns out some hundreds of
efficient ''technologs" every year.
Practical work in any of the textile,
engineering or the chemical indus
tries is not so readily obtainable in
Russia, and capable Englishnnan is
sure of an engagement at a wage
double or treble that he would re-
ceiye at home.

Purpose.

At this season of the year, when eggs
are beginning to be scarce, it is well to
remember that exactly the same result
can be obtained by dividing egg and
using the yolk only in custards and
desserts, and salad dressings demand
ing thickening of eggs. The whites
Of the eggs are then left for sweet
cakes, meringues and other dishes
where the white of the egg is the es-
sential part needed, says the New York
Tribune.
1t should be remembered that the
yolk of the egg gives rich, delicate con-
sistency to baked or boiled custard,
and one made with it alone is not SO La
BILE to curdle as one made with the
white also. Pumpkin pies, like cocoa
nut and lemon pies, are just as nice
without the whites, of the eggs. In
the case of cocoanut and lemo pie the
whites should be used for meringue.
In hot breakfast cakes or mullins
eggs are an element that often tougher
the bread without adding any desirable
quality. Do not use more than two
eggs az rule to a pint of milk in
wheaton cakes. One is generally
enough. The quantity of eggs to be
used in corn meal cake varies with the
taste, as this meal is so granular there
Is no danger of making tough cake
from 1t. A sweet cake made of the
whites OF eggs can be as easily rendered
tough and unfit for food by too liberal
use OF eggs as cake can be made heavy
and greasy by too liberal use of but
ter. Where eggs are used in cake
like sponge cake, which has no butter
In it to render it tender, the juice of a
lemon should be added. The yolks of
eggs do not make a nice icing, impart-
ing an eggy taste very disagreeable to
most people. The whites of eggs should
alone be used.

CARE OF FINE LAcES.
How to Cleanse and Freshen tho
Daintiest and Most Costly
of Films.

Few things possessed by dainty wom-
en- are more highly valued than fine
laces, and, while not many are fortu-
nate enough to own such in large guam
titles, many have few pieces inherited
from grandmother or given by wealthy
friends as bridal gift.
Those who can afford it usually take
lace to professional cleaner, who re-
turns it looking beautifully new, but
often very much injured by the use OF
Cleaning fluids.
The expense and spelling of the lace
can be avoided and the cleaning done
quite as satisfactorily by every woman
who will take the trouble to do it her
self, and surely no daintier task can
be performed, even by the most deli
cate hands, than the freshening OF
pretty, webliks lace. says the House.
keeper.
OF course no one would think oi
washing lace in tub with soap, wiring.
ing or starching it. 1t should not be
washed even with the hands.
A large glass jar or bottle should be
covered first with flannel securely
fastened around, then with a strip OF
old soft cotton. The lace should be
carefully wound around this and
pinned in place.
The bottle should be stood in vessel
OF warm rain water, to which a little
powdered borax is added, and dipped
up and down until the lace is clean
after which clear water may be poured
over to rinse it, then set in the sun to
dry. When carefully taken from
around the bottle the lace will be as
fresh and beautiful as when new.
Large articles of lace that cannot be
wound around bottle or jar may be
pinned to a cloth spread over board
and cleaned by dipping in the water.
