range forecasts could be made. I'm
der present conditions, the weather
prophets cannot predict more than
a day or two in advance. With
the discoveries that would follow the
completion of the projected instru-
ment, it would be possible to foreteI
the state of the weather for weeks
in advance. In this connection, ii
is worth noting that the present
'long range" forecasts that appear
from time to time in the press are
the work of fakirs. Frequently these
predictions are attributed to some
one connected with the Weather
Bureau, but the chief has recently
issued a circular warming the public
that these would-be meteorologists
have no connection with the Govern
ment.
THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.
The official crop report, just is
ued, shows that corn has made vigor-
Gus growth over the greater part
of the belt, but the rains have pre-
vented cultivation, and much of the
crop is weedy. In the more northerly
districts, it is backward, but in. the
Middle Atlantic States it's condition
is most promising. The heavy pre-
cipitation has interferred with cult
walton and harvesting in the Lower
Missouri, Central Mississippi and
Ohio valleys and in portions of the
Middle Atlantic States and the Lake
region, and much grain in shock has
been damaged in Oklahoma, Kansas
and Missouri. Winter wheat, espe-
cially, has sustained great damage,
both from rust and from sprouting.
Spring wheat, also, has suffered
somewhat from rust in the southern
portion of the region devoted to that
cereal, but, as a whole, the crop is
satisfactory. Oats, too, have suffer
ed from excessive moisture in the
Lower Missouri but elsewhere have
made good progress. Cotton has
grown rapidly throughout the belt
too rapidly in the central districts,
where the crop is in need of cult
walton. The heavy storms have
caused some damage, but over the
greater part of Texas and in the east.
ern districts the crop is good. The
weather has been most favorable fo1
tobacco, which is in a thrifty condi.
ton. In the Ohio Valley and Middle
Atlantic States the outlook for ap.
pies is unpromising, but in New Eng.
land and the Lake region the pros.
poets are favorable. A good crop
of peaches is being gathered in the
East Gulf States.

ance and mutual benefit insurance
was next taken up and thoroughly
discussed. On motion by Mr.. Gore,
the matter was postponed indefinite
ly. This action may seem somewhat
hasty, but the different conditions
under which the carriers work fully
justified this action.
The best methods for organizing
the counties was thoroughly taken
up, and it was decided that it should
become part of the duties of the
secretary, that he should take the
u up by correspondence with all
the unorganized counties having
enough carriers to organize, and
those that have not enough shall be
admitted to the State Association di-
rect. Asheville was selected for the
next meeting, to be held July 4, 1905.
An election for permanent officers
was then held, resulting as follows:
President, @. q. Munday, of Ashe-
vile; Vice-President, J. M. Harris,
of Charlotte; Secretary, @. B. Camp
belle, of Red Springs; Treasurer, J.

ported as follows:
We the r. F. D. Carriers of North
Carolina, in convention assembled,
in the city of Greensboro, N. c.,
July 4th, 1904, do adopt the follow
ing resolutions:
l.. That we do most heartily thank
those Congressman and Senators
who have labored SO faithfully in our
behalf in securing an increase in our
salaries.
2. We cannot commend too highly
the work of our worth national presi-
dent, Mr.. F. 81. Cunningham, in his
untiring efforts in our behalf.
3. That we adopt the r.. F. D.. News
as our national organ, and thank it's
editor, Mr.. Windsor, for the bold and
manly stand he is taking in our be-
half. We furthermore extend our
thanks to the State press for all
it has done, and is doing, to advance
the cause of the rural service; and
we adopt The Progressive Farmer as
our State organ.
4. We extend our thanks to the
county of Guilford for the use of the
| courtroom, and we also appreciate
the hospitality extended to us by the
good people of Greensboro.
5. We also request the State papers
to copy these resolutions.

Our Washington Letter.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

NONCII1IIICAI FC1IC1CS JuSJ az PASSOA
Two Departments are giving the ia
nous Guatemalan insect profound
consideration. In fact, this bug al
most rivals the recent political con-
v~entions as a magnet for popular at
tention. Recommended as an eHec-
tive agent against the hitherto in
vincible cotton boil weevil, some
eighty colonies were collected by an
entomologist of the Department of
Agriculture, and carefully imported
into this country. But a suit has
now been filed by a Texas planter to
prevent the projected experiments.
and the right of the Government to
take such action is now pending the
decision of the Department of JUS
tice. 1t is said that if the suit is
sustained, the scene of the tests, with
this exotic insect, will be merely
transferred to Louisiana, that State
having expressed a willingness to ex-
tend hospitality to the stranger. The
Texas plaintiff urges that the poten-
t~ialties of the bug for mishief are an
unknown quantity, and that eve if it
succeeds in destroying the weevil,
mems attempts to upset the balance
nature are liable to react against
themselves. The agents of the De-
partment of Agriculture retort that
they have thoroughly studied the
ants habits and predictions; that
he possesses the praiseworthy char
acteristic of being a cannibal-pur-
suing the weevil as his special prey,
and leaving all vegetable growths IN
utouche3; that he does not bite or
|sting human beings, can be readily
domesticated, is gentle and amiable
in disposition, and, in short, should
be welcomed as a desirable e~ntomolgi-
cal immigrant.
THE CAUSE OF THE RECENT STORMS.
The surprising number of storms
that have prevailed throughout the
United States during the past month
are attributed by the Weather Blu
reau to an unusually low barometri-
cal pressure. This, again, is due to
what is designated as the approach
of the "sun-spot maximum period"
These spots, it is explained, are at
mospheric disturbances in the sun,
and they differ from similar disturb
ances of the earth in that they re-
semble molten metal, constantly
throwing out rays of intense heat,
this varying in proportion to the
number of spots. These rays cause
evaporation from the bodies of wa
ter in the country, which in turn
produces frequent showers.
LONG RANGE WEATHER FORECAST.
These sun spots are held response
BILE for the cold weather of last win
ter, and it is said that a chilly sum-
mer and another freezing winter are
to be undergone before the influence

having been the landing Of supplies

used for the transport of artillery and
by the corps commanders. 1t is esti-
mated by the Times correspondent

Japanese invasion began total of 20,-
600 soldiers, including the entire
Twelfth division and a part of the
Second division. The Imeprial guaros
who are expected to constitute the ad-
vance, have not as yet arrived. The
artillery consists of six batteries at
tached to the Twelfth division: The,
guns are chiefly of the rapid fire va
riety, and designed especially for
mountain use. When in. shape for
S'ohSPoA ~ IatAoAi hfC pOuISS are ESqulE-
ed to transport each gun and carriage,
and the members of the batteries are
declared to be unusually expert in
the use of the arms.
1t is reported that roops are being
landed in small bodies along the coast
immediately south of Wiju. Thse can
easily reach the Pekin' road, along
which the Russians are reported to be
encamped. BY landing troops here
instead of at Chemulpo, the Japanese
commander succeeds in placing them
five days nearer the scene of prospec-
tive hostilities. Eight thousand Japa-
Dese regulars, accompanied by
mountain battery, are reported to be
advancing beyond Seoul towards Ping
Yang, at which place $50 Japanese
scouts are encamped.

CHAPTER XIII.

Mrs. Eastbell waited very patiently for
the return of her granddaughter to the
almshouses. She was very happy In her
nests she said. Sarah wrote her letters
Miss Holland reed them to her; every
body was kind, and her granddaughter
would soon be home again. What was
there to disturb her old head in any way ?
She was we'll in health, too, and wonder
fully strong.
Suddenly the visits of Mary Holland
abruptly ceased, although message was
sent to the old lady that Mrs. Muggar-
idge's niece had been telegraphed for to
London, and would return in few days,
The niece would take that opportunity
of calling upon Sarah Eastbell and bring
back to Worcester all the news-possi-
bly, Miss Eastbell herself, IL she was
strong enough TO leave.
How long Mary Holland was away
Mrs. Eastbell did not know, one day
being very much like another, and time
passed away smoothly Nd easily with
this complacent specimen of age. and
then, one afternoon, when the kettle WAS
singing on the handful of fire which Mrs.
Muggeridge had made, Mary Holland
came softly into the room, and stood by
the bedside of the woman.
Il have returned, y she said; and the
icy clashes of the listener Quivered at the
voice.
