Last Weeks North Carolina Crop
Bulletin.

The cotton bolls are beginning to
open in the eastern half Of the State;
but the crop, as a whole, made no
improvement during the week, al
though the weather during the first
half was favorable; on the contrary,
the crop seems. to be declining, and
the complaints of damage bv rust,
shedding, and turning yellow are just
as numerous from all parts of the
State as during the week before.
Corn continues good, especially on
upland; in low places and on light
soil it is damaged in few localities.
It is maturing well and an exception
ally fine crops is assured. Fodder
pulling is nearly over in the eastern
and central counties; the first half
of the week was favorable for this
work, but there was not enough sun
shine during the latter half. and
large quantities of fodder became
damaged by the rains. Curing to-
bacco is nearly over in the eastern
district; but is still in full progress
in Stokes, Surry, Rockingham and a
number of other n~orth-central coun-
ties. The reports in regard to the
yield are similar to those received
heretofore, insomuch that the leaves
are curing satisfactorily, although
the crop is below the average. Pea
nuts are fair, and with but few ex-
ceptions the vines are growing well.
The early crop of Irish potatoes is
being dug and the yield is considered
good, especially in the western
ties; the fall>crop is already up and
the stands are satisfactory. Turnips
and rutabagas are coming up in most
sections, but in the western half con-
siderable sowing is yet to be done.
Melons are ripening in the western
counties and are quite plentiful.
Cabbages are generally well headed,
but the wet weather is injuring the
plants; pea vine hay is excellent:
all minor crops are doing fairly well;
fruit will be far below an average
crop.
