CROP OUTLOOK GOOD
Though Last Week Was Not
Altogether Favorable.
Farmers Are Cheerful and Are Pushing heir
Work forward With Great Amount
OF Energy

The Weekly Crop Bulletin for the week
ending Monday, April 81, of the North
Carolina Section of the Climate and Crop
Service of the Weather Bureau says:
Progress in the growth of crops ana
in farm work was somewhat retarded
during the past week, but an improve
ment in general conditions is noticeable
The temperature was again much below
the normal, the deficiency averaging
nearly five degrees daily; and a fairly
heavy frost occurred Saturday morning
without much damage except to young
tomato plants in the central portion. The
continued low temperature which checks
the growth of vegetation is the CHIEF
dlsadvantageous condition of the present
season, and warm, sunny weather is much
ne eded. Showers fell Monday night, and
cool rain Thursday, which hindered
farm work to some extent, but the rain
fall was moderate and left the soil in
good condition for blowing and planting,
and the moisture assisted the sprOuting
of seeds. There was a deficiency in the
amount of sunshine received. On the
whole, therefore, the week was not en-
tirely favorable; however, blowing and
planting continue to make good Roadway
over most of the State east Of the Blue
Ridge, and though spring is late and
work behind, farmers appear generally
to be more cheerful of good results than
last year and are pushing work forward
with energy.
A full crop of corn will be planted, and
tho Xunrly nf MI nj this &c
ceeding actively except in northern coun-
ties and west of the mountain8; in the
central-east portion the bulk of the corn
crop has been planted; much early corn
is up in southern counties, but needs
warmth for rapid growth. Preparations
for cotton are nearly completed, and a
little more cotton was planted. but this
work is not yet general, and it is too
soon to estimate acreage. Tobacco plants
in beds are still small, but may reach
proper size in time; the scarcity of plants
reported in many counties is Unfortunate
in view of the enlarged acreage contem-
plated transplanting tobacco will not be-
come general before May list, though q
few plants nave been set in Onslow\codn-
ty Wheat is healthy ana is stOoling
nicely, but poor stands indicate a much
smaller yield than last year; spring oats
ere growing we'll. Truck crops are i1,-
proving, especially onions, peas, beans
end potatoes; cabbage, collard and tomato
plants are beginning to be transplanted.
A scarcity of sweet potato seed for bed
ding is reported. Strawberries are be-
ginning to riper. The damage to fruit
by frosts so far seems to have served
the useful purpose of thlnarg the fruit
on the trees, and without further in
jury the prospects for all kinds of fruit
must be considered very good. Grass and
clover are beginning TO grow nicely.

Exactly what goes on inside
