Complaints of cotton shedding ara

tern section of the cotton belt, but re
ports Of rust are so general. Except in
North Carolina. the staple is opening
rapidly in all districts. in some locali-

Storm Did Much Damage to Corn and
Cotton While Cool Nights Keep
Cotton BolIs From
Opening.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin for the
week ending Monday, September ~,
1904 says:
"An unusually severe and damaS-
ing rain and wind storm occurred on
the 14th in the eastern half OF the
State; while in the western hall the
week was practically dry, ana IN
number of places rain is badly needed
for the growth of fall crops ana LOT
softening the ground for fall ploWlnS.
Cool weather set in on the 18th, with
abnormally low night temperatures
especially in the western counties; and,
although the minimum temperatures
were Slightly above 40 degrees, no
frost occurred anywhere.
Both corn and cotton were badly
damaged in the eastern half of the
State by the storm on the 14th. The
fields were badly washed on lowlands
by the heavy dOWnpourS and by fresh
cts that resulted from the storm, and
were badly Frustrated by the winds. A
great deal of cotton that was open was
completely blown out. Large guam
titles of fodder that were left out for
curing were entirely ruined by the rain
or blown away by the wind. There
was very little damage to crops in the
extreme eastern counties, owing to the
lISIJ IndI occurred InCIe, al
though the wind velocity was high
but the greatest damage, judging from
the correspondents reports, occurred
in Graham, Durham, Orange, Ala
nance, Chatham Granville, Nash,
Cumberland, Robson and adjoining
counties. Cotton picking is general
iii all sections, but on account of cool
nights the bolls are opening slowly;
from all indications the crop will be
quite short. Fodder pulling and hay
ing is active in all sections; and on
account of the favorable weather both
hay and fodder are being saved in eX-
cellent condition in the western half of
the State. Tobacco cutting and curing
is advancing rapidly in the north
central counties; about two thirds of
the crop has been saved, and the gem
eral results are fairly satisfactory.
Peanuts We're damaged slightly; the
crop will be short, but the quality APP
pears to be good. Flowing for wheat
is general in all part of the State, but
the work is advancing slowly. Sugar
cane is ripening, and some molasseS
has already been made.
