How TO Grow FIo,yers

In order to supply the large and in
crcasing demand for publications re-
lating to the cultivation OF flowers the

ture has had prepared and will soon
issue Farm crs' Bulletin No 1875, en-
titled Annual Flowerlng Plants. I"
This bulletin was prepared by L. G.
Corbctt, horticulturist of the bureru
OF plant industry Of the department.
Ihe bulletin contains suggestions for
the use OF plants about dwellings and
the construction OF hotbeds and cold
frames. The dates for planting the
seed OF each Of the varieties enume-
rated in the publication, as well as
the particular requirements in their
cultivation, are stated In the discuss
sion OF each species. General cultu-
raj directions relating to sowihg seed,
termination, moisture, soil tempera-
ture and tranSplanting are also given.
The bulletin contains, plans for school
gardens and is Illustrated with fifty

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
Prof. Bauer Says Farm Work Has
NInde Kapid Progress.


Section Director Bauer's weekly crop
bulletin was issued last week as followS:-
The mean temuerature for the week
ending at a. M, April 18th, was
about 5S degrees which is nearly de-
grees below normal. due to very low
temperatures during the first and last
days, and to moderately high temper
atureS during the middle of the week.
There were light froSts on the 18th
and 18th in the western counties that
did no material injury. High, drying
wiuds prevailed during the middle OF
the week, that intensified the drough-
ty conditions prevailing over the great
er part Of the State. The percentage
Of sunshine was about normal.
The rainfall was extremely light,
during that part Of the week covered
by the correspondents reports, and
the surface soil became very dry in all
parts OF the State, and unbroken lands
became hard and broke up coddy in
plowing. There was need of rain for
all growing crops, and for the germi-
nation OF recently planted seeds. This
droughty condition was relieved by
general rain at the close OF the week,
which was fairly heavy and fell so
slowly that practically the whole
amount was absorbed by the soil, cspe-
clally on plowed ground. This rain
will prove very beneficial.
General teamwork made rapid and
uninterrupted progress, except that
In the central counties the ground had
become toe hard and dry to plow.
Planting operations were pushed
where the soil was in fit condition,
but cotton planting was delayed In
places awaiting warmer weather and
moisture, so as to assure quick ger
minatiOn.
Corn planting is nearly finished, ex-
cept on bottom lands in the western
counties. Early paintings are up to
good stands, and have received their
hrSt cultivation. Later paintings are
coming up to poor stands, and are be-
ing damaged by birds and worms, me-
cessltating considerable replanting.
The cool weather caused corn to vel
low somewhat.
Cotton planting progressed slowly
IN the central and western counties
owing to the dry soil and cool weather,
but made fair progress In the eastern
ones, where about half the crop has
been planted and some Is coming up.
Sea-island cotton that is up is in need
OF rain.
a beginning was made in trans
planting tobacco, but this work Is not
general, and confined largely to Marl-
boro and Marion counties. The
plants are PLENTIFUL though small,
and Will suffice for the small acreage
to be devoted to tobacco this year.
Wheat is improving steadily. The
weather was too cold and dry for oats,
which turned yellow in places. The
condition Of the peach crop is uncer-
tain, but enough fruit remains on the
trees in most sections for a fair crop.
Pear trees are blighting badly. Ap-
Piles are uninjured. The strawberry
crop has been damaged by drought.
Sweet potatoes coming up. White
potatoes have good stands. Melons
fair stands. Pastures are scant, Truck
shipments continue heavy, though
still confined to the southefnmost
coast sections.

turn. That appears to indicate that
some influence has been brought to
bear on the church."
Chairman Burrows asked the wit
ness .whether he ever had been

ceremony" asked Chairman Burrows.

why not?"
II consider myself In trust and
not at liberty to disclose what takes

Mr.. Roberts said that the oblIga.
tions were secret and he thought taem
not unlike the oaths of the Masonic
order or other secret societies.
What would happen If you did re-
veal what took place within the
temple? asked the chairman.
II would lose caste and be regarded
as betraying trust. II keep faith

Then" pursued Chairman Bur
rows, any person who takes the
endowment house obligation is under
oath not to reveal It's nature?"
Il think So."
And Senator Smoot could not re.
veal his oath Of that character?"
The witness nodded his his head in
acquiesence.
Senator Bailey asked whether there
was anything in the ceremony that
abridged a mans freedom in any
political or religious way.
The witness replied he thought

KILLING FROST PREVENTED
BY Rains, Otherwise Damage Would
Have Been Grent to Crops.

ft- 3s a.:ffIS !.
The State says the cold wave made
a sudden and unexpected dip south
ward over the Appalachian mountains
"Wednesday and Columbans and other
South Carolians again hauled out
their overcoats and wraps and built
fires after making full preparations in
apparel and otherwise for summer.
There were light falls of snow at sew
eral points in the upper half of the
State, as far down as Newberry, and
the CLOUDS and rain and wind alone
saved thousands of dollars crop dam
ages all over the State. With clear,
calm weather Tuesday night, Section
Director Bauer said, there would GER
tainly have been killing frosts practi-
cally over the entire State, which
would have played havoc with the
fruit crops, killing cotton and greatly
retarding. corn. The night before
freezing temperatures occurred in the
mountainous sections, but Wednes-
days rerc-ts from the commercial
peach orchards of this State and Geor-
gia indicated that though the crop
had been damaged to some extent
there still remained enough fruit on
the trees to insure practically full
crop. The reports from Georgia were
particularly encouraging, and those
from South Carolina points were al
most as good. The North Carolina
fruit crop was seriously affected, not
over half crop remaining. In Vir-
Sina, where there was also clear
weather killing frosts occurred all
over the State, greatly damaging the
trucking interests at Norfolk, where
the frost was heaviest.
The centre of the cold wave We'd
ncsday was in northern Michigan,
Pennsylvania, New York and the
New England States, with snow as
far south as st. Louis and with tenn
peratures from 6 to 10 degrees below
freezing, while in the central valleys
and on the eastern slope Of the
Rockies there were rises Of from 10 to
I'20 degrees on account Of a storm
originating in the Rockies AS the
western storm advances the northcriy

Bauer says. Texas and Louisiana en-
joyed scasonahlc warmth Wednesday,
but the central Texas farmers who
tried TO get jump Gil the boil weevil
have been disappointed. Their
cotton was killed by the cold wave of
few days ago and they are now re-
planting.
In the northern half of the country
east of the Mississippi practically no
farming has been done on account of
the lateness of the spring, and these
sections have not suffered by yester-
days cold wave. The unreasonable

wheat districts of the Missouri valley,
where the crop is all in the ground,
and the New York, Wisconsin and
Minnesota apple orchards are unaf-
fccted because the lateneSs of the
spring has prevented even the buds
starting yet. So the prospects for
full wealth and apple crops are still

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH
Interesting Figures Given in Current
Issue of TrGdesman.

Issue of TrGdesmap.
a Quarter Century Development
of the Mineral Resources OF the South
ern States" is the subject Of an ella
borate article presented in the current
issue of The Tradesman, and in it are
given figures which tell the eloquent
story of the wonderful progress Of the
South. a table on the value of the
mineral products of the Southern
States in 1890, 1901 and 1902 shows
that with the exception OF lead, salt,
bauxitc, etc, mica and corundum and
manganese ores, there was an increase
in the value of all other maineralS in
1902 as compared with 1880. The
value OF some of the minerals such as
coal, pig iron, petroleum, clay pro-
ducts, coke, zinc, phosphate rock and
natural gas, show enormous gains.
while the total v..lue Of all minerals
has increased S2l7, sos, $50, or 615 per
cent. 1t is also shown that there was
an increase Of S35, $40, 372 in the value
OF all mineral products i'm 1902, as
compared with the previous year. A
comparative statement is also given of
the total value of all mineral products
in each Of the Sothern states in 1880,
1901 and 1902. Not a Single state
but shows immense gains i'm the value
Of its mineral products since 1880,
while in some Of them a gain is
astonishingly large, Alabama, for in
stance taking the lead, having increas.
ed the value of its products by over
S57, 100000 and West Virginia by
over $50, 100000. Virginia comes
next with an increase Of $40, 6l2, 600,
followed by Tennessee with net gain
of S18, 1885, 900. Missouri, next in
rank, has increased the value of its
mineral output S17, 7,371 900, and Ken
tuky's gain is nearly $l1, 900, 600, and
that of Maryland 80, 500, 900. The
increase in all the other states, in
the order named, is as follows: Texas,
80, 949, 900; Indian Territory, 81, ,G76,-
600; Georgia, S4,054, 900; Arkansas,
So, 200, 900; Florida, 80, I'll, 900; South
Carolina, 81, 1,444, 900, and North Caro-
lima, Sl,019,00O. The value Of the
output of minerals IN Louisina, 1906,
$50, and of Oklahoma, s43l 900 lin
1902, is all gain, as this Industry in
each of them was undeveloped{ in
