General Summary-For the
Week Ending June 9th.

The mean temderatureaverag-
ed 4 degrees above normal. On
the 9th maximum temperatures
reached or exceed ed 100 degrees
at several places in the central
and northern portions of the
State. Moderate showers fell in
the extreme northern counties
during the first of the week, but
over the remainder Of the State
only few ligt scattered showers
occurred.
The week was favorable for
farm work and good progress was
made in the cultivation of crops
which are generally clean and, on
the whole, making fair growth.
Over the eastern half of the State,
and in some of the southwestern
counties, there is considerable
complaint ofcontinued dry wealth
err, which has cut short the oat
crop and is checking the growth
of corn, while over the remainder
of the State conditions are quite
favorable, although a good rain
would be beneficial.
Over greater portion of the
State cotton is very promising;
it is healthy, making a fine growth
and in the southern counties is
beginng to bloom. Owing to the
very dry weather in the east.cen-
tral and northeastern counties
the staple is not doing so well and
in few localities in need of more
moisture. Lice, although less
damaging than last week, are
still doing some harm in the
southern portion OF the State.
Laying bv corn is general and
where moisture is sufficient for
termination the planting of cow
peas continues.
Oct harvest is about completed
south and generally in progress
north. The yield is very light.
Irish potatoes are being dug
and are yielding well. Sweet
potatoes are making a satistac-
tory growth. Haylng is in pro-
gress in several counties. Gar
dens and pastures are suffering
for rain.

Remedies for Cabbage
Worms.

The cabbage worms Of several
kinds and with several different
methods of operations have al
ready begun their work on the
plants. These pests are, how
ever, easily destroyed if the mat
ter is looked afeerearly. Among
the many remedies that have
proved etficacious are: Tobacco
finely pulverized and busted on
when the dew is on the plants,
being careful to do it thoroughly;
cayenne pepper used in the same
manner as the tobacco; one tea
spoonful of salt peter to gallon
of water, sprinkled on with await
ering can or applied with spray
err, recommended for the green
worms that infest this vegetable
in it early growth. American
hellebore busted on early in the
morning, or Immediately after a
rain, is certain and safe. Coal
ashes saturated with either coal
oil or gasoline is a cheap and eff
fective way to rid the patch of
the vermin if thoroughly and care
fully applied. Another cheap
plan, which is said to give good
results, although we have never
tried it, is to fill a sprinkling pot
with boiling water and llbcr-
ally soaN the worms with it. A
successful cabbage raiser of the
writer's acquaintance insists that
the best plan to deal with the
worms is to destroy the moths
that produce them. This he &C
complished by al modified form
of the much-advertised moth
trap. AS soon as his plants are
set out, he takes a small gasoline
stove and set in the middle Of the
cabbage patch in tub of water.
He then igniies the'gasoline and
allows 1t to blaze, instead of
merely generating. The moths
are attracted to the blaze, SINCE
their wing, drop into the water
and their worm-producing career
is at an end.

Cows were never higher than

tassels come, but run very shall
low at the last.
Cows should be broken to be

This is certain, that the

fruit is healthful and saves doc

One strong watermelon plant
in hill is better than two or
more. Leave two cantaloupe
plants in each hill. Thin out

come rough.
The favorite breeding place
for flies is horse manure. SO if
kept covered upas far as pos
sible, or, at any rate far away
from the house, their number
might be decreased.
The man who spends half of

The best results are obtained
by cutting alfalfa when only one
tenth is in bloom. The hay so
cut is richer in protein and the
yield for the season is greater.
Experiments in Colorado. Kansas.

Many horse has been ruined

of life.
When injoying the ricn berries
