contentment and happiness in partaking
of their lavish hospitality. THE TINES

friends and we cannot recall more pleas

treat to ys weary scrbes to whose appe.
titles the excellently barbecued meats ap.
pealed with unusual strength and the
aroma Of good coffee made the time be-.
tween our arrival and the announcement
Of dinner seem an age.
1t was an ideal day. All nature seemed
fall OF poetry and love. The classic and
picturesque beauty of the surroundings,
left nothing to be desired from visiona-
ry standpoint. About o'clock the mas

hungry party to table, which lost no time
In gathering about the rustic structure,

Then the onslaught was made, and the

CROP CONDITIONS.
Warm, Dry Weather Favorable For
Opening Cotton.

The past week was characterized by
an almost complete absence of RAIN
fall with very warm, sunny weather.
and while these conditions have been
favorable for hay making and picking
cotton. the drought is beginning to
have an injurious effect on all faiI
crops especially peas, potatoes AMI
turnips. in many sections also the
ground has Become too hard to ploW,
and PREPARATIONS for seeding winter
wheat and oats have been delayed.
The temperature averaged nearly >
degrees above the normal daily, and
maxim above 80 degrees were recorded
on three DAYS. Scattered showers oc-
CURED but were yery light and insult
ficent.
The condition of cotton in North
Carolina, as reported by the Depart
ment of agriculture, is the lowest
throughout the cotton belt except in
Texas and Arkansas. The weather con-
ditions cannot further benefit the plant
in this state except that showers
would secure better maturity of the
upper b0lls Cotton is opening very
rapidly and picking has become gen-
eral: the results Of the first picking
indicates d shorter crop even than
anticipated; cotton gins are in opera
ton and some new bales have been
sold. Damage by shedding and rust
has greatly diminished during the past
week Corn has matured rapidly AMI
cutting is underway; some late corn
needs rain, and the fodder thereon is
firing in central counties. A large
amount of fodder was saved this week
and the last under very favorable con-
ditiOns; fodder pulling is nearly over
on the eastern and central districts,
but is underway in the west. The cut
ting and curing Of the last tobacco in
the fields is being advanced as rapid
", with good results; much late TO-
bacco has matured small and inferior.
In spite Of some rOtting in central
counties peanuts seem to promise
fair WELD Sweet potatoes will yield
good average crop. Turnips, late soWn
field peas and late potatoes now need
rain pretty badly. The conditions du-
ring the past week have been especi-
ally favorable for making hay, AMI
large amounts Of meadow grass and
pea-vines h ave been cut and nicey
cured. Some farmers are now boiling
sorghum syrup. Grapes are giving
better yield than expected; large sI'r-
ment have also been made Of supper
nOng grapes. Fall apples are dropping
considerably Much crimson clover has
died on account OF the drought AMI
fields will have to be re-sceded. While
some winter oats and rye have been
sown, this work is progressing very
slowly.

LIME AND MALARIA.
French Investigators Say the Former Far
italy Averts the Latter.

A Frenchman. Dr. Roche, thinks that
lie has discovered an interesting fact Ill
-egard TO malaria. He declares that the
addition OF lime to the soil for purely
agricultural purposes Will reduce the
amount OF malaria i'll that vicinity. An
other medical man, DR.. Grellet. cch"1,
hat opinion. and asserts that the dmln-
utlon i'll malaria is proportional to the
quantity of lime used Neither Of these
writers offers any explanation Of the
alleged discovery or shows why the
line should antagonize the malaria.
The old notion that so-called malarial
fevers resulted Gas the name impliss)
from bad airs, miasm arising from the
soil, and especially from wet places, is
still entertained by a number OF people.
This is a theory which would be recon
sled easily with the belief which Drs.
Roche and Grellet now cherish. If both
Of these suppositionS are correct, no
doubt the lime checks the development
Of the miasmatic vapor in wet soil.
But it has recently been suspected that
malaria is caused by micro-organism
which gets into the victims blood, and
not by gas which is inhaled. 1t is
also suspected that this nlicrobe gets into
the blood through the lite of an in
fected mosquito. Now. If this under
standing of the case should prove to b.
right, then it would not be so easy to
see wEs: lime has TO do with suppreSsine
malaria. Perhaps it kills mosquitoes and
improves the sanitary conditions of a
district in that manner. Or it is re-
motely possible that the disappearance
of malaria which has been noticed in
France is confined to limited region,
and is due to some other cause than
the use of lime as fertilizer. The two
facts may have been simultaneous. but
unrelated
At any rate it will lie desirable to
know whether anything of the kind has
been noticed in other places where ma
Iaria once prevailed and where lime has
been employed by farmers Otherwise.
