Latest North Carolina Crop Bulletin On
Farming Progress.

During March, for the first time in
six months, a slight excess in month
ly mean temperature was recorded in
North Carolina. The temperature
conditions were therefore favorable,
but the frequency of rains, though
light in character, kept the soil too
wet to pillow, SO that in many portions
of the State blowing was Fl week or
two behind the average. The rain
fall was very necessary, however, in
view of the preceding months of dry
weather, giving the soil a store of
moisture for the use of coming
crops and placing it generally in
good condition for blowing on the
advent of dry weather. Winter
wheat improved somewhat, began to
show above ground and though small.
was green and vigorous; in some sec
tions stands appeared better than
expected. Winter oats remained very
poor. Some spring oats were sown
and came up nicely. Preparations
for truck crops we're commenced very
late; some potatoes and peas were
planted; towards the close of the
month shipments of lettuce began.
Strawberries appeared to be in good
condition tbo,,rb Lotto
Preparations for a large cotton
crop are now we'll under way and
large amounts of fertilizer are being
distributed. Planting corn is prog
ressing- over most of the eastern and
southern portions of the State. To
bacco plants in beds are small and
late, but look well. Winter wheat
has made marked improvement dur
ing the week; also oats where not
killed. Rye, clover and grass are
growing rapidly. Spring oats are
being seeded, and many have come
up nicely. Considerable advance has
been made in the progress of plant
ing and growth of truck crops large
quantities of Irish potatoes have been
planted; lettuce is heading and ship
ments going North; May peas will
probably recove from the damage
by frost, and yield fairly we'll. Straw
berries are coming into bloom.
Planting gardens is progressing well.

Whether or not the railroad COM

appeared before the board Monday he
limited that his company would not
be satisfied with any other valuation
than that of S5SOS on the main line

to that amount litigation would follow.
In speaking of the subject this
morning Chairman COrnWell of the
board said: Il am of the opinion that
we have done what is right In this
matter. l believe that the railroad
companies will pay their taxes on the
valuations that we have fixed and if
they do it will be much better for the
county to receive their money than to
engage in lengthy litigation. which
would certainly have followed if we
had not reduced the valuation from
