CROPS STILL SUFFER
Droughty Character ct Sea-
son Little Changed.
Cotton viii be Far Short Of an Average Crop
Picking Is Now General, Corn Good
on Bottom Lands,

The weekly crop bulletin of the North
Carolina section, Climate and Crop Ser
vice of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, says of the week ending
Monday, September 8th:
Frequent showers occurred during
the past week, chiefly on the Bird and 4th,
which gave a fairly abundant amount OF
moisture along the northern tier OF coun-
ties, but were very irregularly distrl-
buted over the central and southern por-
tions of the State. The droughty CHAR
acter of the season has not materially
changed, and crops continue to suffer
from lack of sufficient moisture over
many counties. Where showers occurred
late crops were revived to some extent,
and field peas, turnips and clover were
benefited. The mean temperature was
above normal except On the 5th and 9th
which were quite cool. Farm work pro"
crosses rapidly, but fall blowing is much
behind on account of the refractory con-
dition of the soil Streams are very low
and water for stock is scarce in some
places.
Cotton has not. improved and will be
far short of an average crop; the bolls
have completed their growth and are OPP
ening very fast, some prematurely on
account of rust, which is very wide
spread. Picking cotton is now general
and is advancing more rapidly. Late
planted cotton is still green and will
give a small top crop. Corn is practical
ly made, and is very good crop on bot
tom lands, though short on uplands;
much corn has already been cut and
placed in Shocks Fodder pulling is near
" finished Making sorghum syrup has
begun. Tobacco is all cured except in
the larger producing counties in the
north from Granville to Surry where
the work is still in progress with good
results. Minor crops are fair to good
and can hardly be further influenced by
weather conditions. Scuppernong grapes
are ripenng. Strawberry plants are
suffering from the dry weather"

Washington, D. c., Sept. 9.-The Ag-
ricultural Department weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions says:
Although the week was cool in the
central valleys and lake region, with
more than the average rainfall in por-
tions of the upper Mississippi Valley,
maturing crops have made generally
favorable. though not rapid advance
ment The greater part in Texas, in
which State severe drought prevailed at
the close of the previous week. has re-
ceived abundant rainfall and drought
conditions in the middle Atlantic coast
districts have also been largely relieved.
Notwithstanding the prevalence OF
low temperatures throughout the corn
belt, and copious rainfall in portions OF
the upper Mississippi valley, the corn
crop has made very satisfactory adj
vancement toward maturity and wholly
escaped injury in the States eastward of
the Mississippi River from frosts oc-
curing on the 4th and 5th, but slight
injury in the States to the Westward.
Texas and a large part of the Central
and Eastern districts of the cotton belt
have received abundant rainfall during
the week, but it is doubtful whether the
beneficial effects of these rains to late
cotton will offset the injury done to the
open staple Cotton has opened more
rapidly than it could be picked, In por-
lions of the Central and Eastern districts
many fields are already nearly cleaned,
and the reports generally Indicate that
the crop will be gathered much earlier

SEEKING A NOMINEE
Fifty District Republicans
Want Col. James Holt.
Rumors That Or. D. A. Long viii Be Taken
Down as Nominee For State Superin-
tendent of Schools.
"a Gre at Fair"

Some interesting rumors are floating
around as to the Ians of the Republi
cans in the Fifth Congressional District,
and it's a ''hi-spY -where-am-I' game
that is being played in the search for a
standard bearer.
They say, so our friend the Dickey
Bird chirps, that when the Congressional
Convention meets today in Greensboro,
the Republicans will nominate Col James
Holt, of Burlington, but that Mr.. Holt
has not yet agreed to take the nomina-
ton.
Because why" as the Dutchman
would say, is that not being selected at
first. it is reported, that Colonel Holt
feels that if he was not corn he don't
want to be shucks, this reflection arising
from the reported prOffers of the nomi-
nation to Mr. Frank Mebane, which was
not accepted.
If Colonel Holt declines and there
comes case of Hobson's choice, the
Dickey Bird says that Col" Joe Alex
ander. of Winston, has all his lightning
rods UP waiting to be struck de is said
to be anxious for the nomination, and
ready to chase it down.
So goes the game of "Hi-Spy" with now
one. now the other possible nomination.
It's Colonel Holt that is wanted, but one
friend says he won't have it and another
says he may. so the rumor goes. The
race then is: First choice, Mr. Frank
Mebane; second choice, Col. James Holt;
third choice, Col" Joe Alexander.
And here's a whisper that the State
Republican Executive Committee has let
escape from confinement. 1t is that DR..
D. A. Long, the Republican nominee for
State Superintendent Of Schools is to be
taken down and another man put up.
1.-The News and Observer has been
making it too hot for the Republicans
in his case" says DicBey B." Then too,
Senator Pritchard was afraid that Longs
anti amendment fight and his Ohio Col
lege record would go against him. and
is ready to unload
who will be put uD in his place."
Well now, they say" that ex-Superin-
tendent Mebane will be rendered the po-
sition, but his friends say that he won't
have it, while those who hope he will
say that he is ready for it.
In the meantime the campaign pro-
ceeds.
