Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weekly crop bulletin, issued by the
North Carolina section of the Climate
and Crop Service of the United states
Weather Bureau, says of the week end
ing Monday, August 18th:
"The past week was q very favorable
one, and on account of beneficial rains
which have wet the soil thoroughly sew
eral times a general Improvement in the
condition of crops took place. The rain
fall was abundant throughout the CEN
trail eastern section, occurring chiefly
from the 14th to 18TH and the only region
of the State still suffering from drought
includes few extreme western counties,
viz: Jackson, Swain, Clay Henderson,
Buncombe and Madison. The week was
characterized again by numerous severe
local storms, especially in Mecklenburg,
Cabarrus and few other counties,
which resulted in considerable damage
to crops by wind or hail over limited
areas. The mean teperature for the
week averaged about 76 degrees or near
ly normal; the maximum temperatures
were not excessively high, while at
night the temperature has been agree
ably low without checking vegetation
growth. There was abundant sunshine
and the weather was generally favorable
for farm work blowing stubble land for
wheat is beginning to make some head
way; sowing turnips and fall Irish pota-
toes has been pushed; saving late hay
and pulling fodder are underway.
Cotton continues to do well. but re-
ports indicate that black rust has spread
on cotton considerably and it is feared
VIII in1ure the crop; shedding has d.
minished, and the plants remain full of
Dolls; cotton on uplands and sandy soil
IS opening, some prematurely perhaps,
and picking has begun on small scale.
Old corn is practically made; late corn
has improved very much as is very
promising. Tobacco plants appear to be
large and heavy in north-central portion.
where cutting and curing are becoming
general with fairly good results in the
south portion curing is approaching
completion; in some sections tobacco is
taking growth. Peanuts and sweet pota-
toes are making heavy growth of vines
and now promise we'll; clover and turnips
have come up nicely; field peas are prom
Using. The prospects for rice continue
favorable. Grapes are ripening rapidly
and are very abundant everywhere. The,
onl'eu oCdteS department OF Agrlcul-
ture gave the condition of apples in
North Carolina on August first as 60 per
cent of an average, which confirms the
unfavorable reports on crop which have
appeared in this bulletin.

CORN is PROMISING
And Late Cotton improves in
the CarCIinas.
IN ltHas il is Opening Rapidly, But the Crop

(By the Associated Press. g,

Washington, August 19.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con
ditions says:
The week has not been favorable for
the rapid maturing of crops in the north
ern districts eastward of the Missouri
valley, where it has been abnormally
cool with excessive rains in portions Of
the Missouri and upper Mississippi val
leys, while hot and generally dry weather
prevailed in the Southern States and the
protracted drought continues in the mid
die Rocky Mountain districts.
Corn continues in very promising con-
dition in the principal corn States. in
the more northeriy portions of which
however, it has matured rapidly under
the low temperatures which prevailed
during the week
Late cotton has improved in the Caro-
llnas, Mississippi and Louisiana and in
portions of Missouri and Tennessee. In
Alabama and Florida a late crop is in
dictated and in Georgia the outlook is so
varied as to range from excellent to al
most complete failure. Rust and she'd
ding are very generally reported
throughout the belt with premature
opening in portions of Alabama Georgia
and South Carolina. In Texas cotton is
opening rapidly, but the crop has dete-
riorated on account of excessive heat,
shedding and raVages of boil worms and
weevil. While some damage has result
ed from the hot dry weather in Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, where the crop is
maturing fast and picking is in progress,
large yield of good quality is indi-
Gated.
Cutting and curing of tobacco progress
ed favorably and the crop has generally
done we'll. While benefited by late rains
in Kentucky the crop in that State has
been permanently injured by drought in
some sections.
