GOOD
Corn, Tobacco and Cotton
All Humping Along
Merrily.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin, of the
and Crop Service of the Weather
Bureau, issued for the week ending
Monday, June 9th, is as follows:
The weather during the past week
was warm and generally dry. There
were scattered rains on the 10th, 21st
and 22nd, varying greatly in amounts
So that the droughty conditions We're
entirely relieved only in a few north
ern, central and extreme western
counties. There We're good rains in
Northampton, Halifax and Hartford
counties; also in the belt extending
from Wake to Davidson counties. In
Chatham the rain of the 21st was
quite heavy, doing considerable dam
age by washing corn and cotton
fields. In the southwestern and eX-
treme western parts of the State the
rainfall during the week was sufii-
Gent for all crops; while in the east
ern and southeastern counties the
week was practically dry. The fol-
lowing are the amounts at a few
places for the week ending s q. IN.
today: Greensboro, IA Of an inch;
Goldsboro, 90; Lumberton and New
Bern, trace; Weldon, 2.02; Raleigh,
GO; Wilmington and Charlotte, a
trace; AsheVille, Ito; Hatteras, 80.
The dry weather was very favor
able for the progress of farm work,
particularly for cleaning fields. Har-
vesting was pushed rapidly, and by
the end of the week nearly all the
wheat was cut, except in higher alti-
tudes in the western part of the
State, where the cutting is just begin
rkng. The yield is everywhere excel
lent. The. harvesting of oats COM
menced last week, and the crop,
while only fair is much better than
was expected a few weeks ago. Corn
and cotton are doing nicely where
ever the rainfall during the last week
was abundant; but elsewhere both are
beginning to suffer for want of moiS-
ture. The effects of the drought are
not serious, however, and both crops
seem to be doing nicely under the
present conditions. Cotton is small,
slightly backward, and the stands are
somewhat irregular. Corn is being
worked the second time. Tobacco is
late, but is growing quite well. Ber-
ries will be plentiful, but apples con-
tinue to drop.

An expert nurseryman says the hardi-
ness or non-hardiness Of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees In question sprang came
from. Satisfactory results are BeIdou

from the sunny south, say. BY planting
seeds gradually further north, however
trees may Be at length hardened and &C
elimatod until q seed from such q tree
may Be reasonably expected to thrive
and mature its fruits.
Trees. like people, says the Philadel-
phia Record, acquire their habits from
