SHOWERS HELP CROPS
Drought Broken in Some but
Not All Counties.
though Backward and Generally With Poor
Stands Crops are Clean and are Being
Well Cultivated.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin of the North
Carolina section of the i, Gather Bureau.
for the week ending Monday, June 1, says:
During the past week local showers &c
CURED over a large portion of the state,
which, though not general, caused marked
improvement in crop conditions. The
showers were irregularly distributed.
chiefly at the beginning and end of the
week, the largest amounts falling in
northern counties, while along the south
ern border very little precipitation was
received, and in that section crops are
still suffering for lack of moisture. How
ever, in a large number of counties the
drought was thoroughly broken vegeta
ton was much refreshed, and crop pros
poets, though not hatterng are more ia.
vorable. While the rainfall was of i'm
mense benefit in bringing up dormant
seeds, in supplying the immediate needs
of growing plants, and in placing soil in
better condition for cultivation, there was
not sufficient rain except in very few
places to thoroughly soak the ground or
to soften unplowed land. Hail occurred in
several eastern counties on the Gath with
some damage to crops The temperature
was moderately above the normal and ia
vorable during the entire week, until Sun
day, May S1st, when cooler weather with
northeast winds set in. The sky was more
or less cloudy during the week even where
no precipitation occurred. Though back
ward and generally with poor stands crops
arc clean and are now being well cult
waited
Corn has not all been planted; a good
deal was brought up by the rainfall this
week, and that up grew nicely; most of
the early corn has received first blowing;
in counties suffering from drought much
replanting will have to be done The rains
caused cotton to come up nicely, though
all is not yet up planting is practically
finished; cotton plants are very small but
have improved, stands are better and
chopping IS underway The weather was
excellent for the work of transplanting to-
bacco in the northern counties where it
progressed rapidly, while the crop shows
some Improvement. A number OF crop cor.
respondents state that wheat is better than
expected, though the yield will be short,
harvesting early wheat and oats has just
begun in a few places; spring oats are not
promising. Planting peanuts is well adj
vanced and good stands have been secured.
The yield of Irish potatoes in the east
was reduced by the drought; many sweet
potato sprouts were set this week.
Gardens were much benefited by the
rains. The prospect for fruit of all kinds
continues fairly favorable in the central
east portion of the state, and for apples
also in the west; the blackberry and dew
berry crops will be large; grapes are
blooming heavily Meadows were much
damaged by the drought and are poor.

EAST ST LOUIS LEyEE SYSTEM.

Enterprisng citizens of East st. Louis reveal 4
wise determination to profit by the lesson of the high
water of 1903 in the movement already begun looking
TO the future safeguarding of their city and of the
American Bottom district by means of an improved
evee system that shall be equal any demand likely
TO be made by river conditions.
This is the cardinal teaching Of the situation. and,
as The Republic has already pointed out, proper
performance of the duty thus indicated will bring
good out of the evil of the flood. There is
tremendous problem confronted in the task of bull
warking the East Side against the Mississippi Skilled
engineers will say instead that the task is simple
enough. The cost of construction Of higher embank
ments shrinks into insgnifcance in contrast with the
aggregate of property to be protected
Whether the proposed plan of rockballasted levee
to extend from Alton to point eight miles below
East St Louis best offers the needed protection is
point to be settled by experts The plan certainly
eminently practical and it is favored by men
familiar with East Side conditions and fully posted
TO satisfactory achievements elsewhere. The con-
struction of such levee accompanied by changing
of the course of Cahokia Creek an unfailng source
of danger in times of high water should be undertaken
by the people concerned without hesitation in the
event that the plan approved by experts capable of
rendering an authoritative decision
East st. Louis is rich, prosperous and progressive
city. The municipality can well afford to contribute
necessary for adequate levce insurance against
floods 1t cannot afford to neglect performance of
the duty that has been plainly pointed out BY the
recent unpleasant experiences due to the nadeauacy
of the old levee system. The cost of the construction
of new levees proposed could be made to fall
upon of property protected and increased in
value by guaranteed safety from floods.
Just the moment it is officially announced that East
St Louis has entered upon the construction of such
n evee system, that moment the East Side city will
begin of still greater prosperity and sta
bility of values Confidence in the future of East St
Louis will be increased Investment in East st. Louis
property will be additionally justified Business will
be stimulated to the utmost The opportunity thus to
profit from experience should be fully improved The
most prosperous period Of East st. Louiss history
will date from competent recognition of these truths
and energetic action based thereon.
