THR PAST WEEK WAS UNFAvORABLE.
Cool Weather Checked the Growth Of vegeta-
ton. Light.Frost Reported.

The North Carolina Section. Climate
and Crop Service of the Weather Blu
reau, under the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, yesterday issued
the Weekly Crop Bulletin for the week
ending Monday, June 2, 1902, which says:
The past week was generally quite un-
favorable for the progress of crops
throughout most of the States on ac
count of the deficiency in temperature
and precipitation. The week was char
acteriZed by temperatures considerably
below the seasonable average from the
9th to the 29th, and light frosts We're
reported by number of correspondents,
chiefly in the elevated western section,
fortunately with only slight damage to
crops. The cool weather both checked
growth of vegetation and gave young and
tender plants an unhealthy appearance.
Showers occurred from Sunday, the 18th,
to Tuesday, the 9th, generally in small
amounts, the beneficial effects of which
soon disappeared. Damaging hail storms
accompanied the rainfall on the 25th in
a few western counties, notably Hender-
son. A warm, generous rain is now
greatly needed everywhere, as uplands
are suffering rather seriously from
drought. The week was very favorable
for the work, and cultivation continued
actively: the planting of most crops has
now been completed.
Cotton suffered considerably from the
cool weather, and many plants have be-
come yellow or sickly in appearance,
hence growth has been very slow during
the week; chcpping cotton is approach
ing completion; on account of dry wealth
er much late planted is not yet up. Corn
has also suffered but to a much less eX-
tent from drought and cool nights; gen
orally the crop is in good condition and
most of ii has received second cultiva-
ton; ravages by worms are reported by
a large number of correspondents. The
outlook for tobacco is not good at pres
ent; growth was checked this week, so
that recently set out plants have not Sc
cured a good start; poor stands, ire
gularity in growth, and damage by in
sects contribute to the unfavorable pros
pect for this crop. While number OF
wheat are filling well, the crop is ripen-
ing so slow that much can hardly be cut;
harvest will soon begin chineh bugs are
damaging wheat Spring oats are be-
ginning to suffer from drought at the
most critical period of growth, while be-
ginning to head. Peanuts seem to be
doing fairly we'll. Gardens where prop
erly worked are in good condition. and
vegetables of all kinds have become
abundant. Digging Irish potatoes is I'M
derway, with indications for a somewhat
inferior WELD Fruit is still falling con-
siderably. A full crop of blackberries
is promised. The strawberry season is
about over.
