From st. Matthews Township.

Raleigh. r. F. D.. July 20.-Farm
ers in ST. Matthews township Will get
only short corn and forage from
early planted corn, because Of the dry
weather. Cotton planted early IS do
ing fine where a stand was obtained.
Red land cotton and corn are almost
failure, planted early or late. Late
sandy land corn. if seasons continue,
will make fine crops, judging from the
present conditions. Dry weather has
prevented farmers getting late corn
and peas planted. 1t also cut off the
oat crop very materially. Wheat did
not suffer much as the oats. To-
baccO is almost failure on account
OF the drOuth 1t was impossible to
get plants, and what plants were set
suffered from the dry weather while
a great many plants died on the hill.
The outlook for crops generally now
is fine, whereas peas and corn were
delayed in being planted because OF
the drouth, they will make tine crops
with good seasons from now on.

Conditions in Apex Section.

Apex, n. c., July 20.-Since the re-
cent rains the general condition of
all crops in this township and section
has been great deal better than the
general average for the past several
years The dry weather prior to the
coming of these rains caused much
apprehension but resulted in better
preparation of lands, better working
of crops and greater care on the part
Of farmers, which pushed all crops to
the front as soon rains did come.
The average in corn, cotton and to-
bacco have all been increased, and
with the showing Of condition now
made d more satisfactory crop than
for several years will be made.
In this immediate section in terri
tory of about five miles long by two
miles wide on Tuesday, the 18th inst.
a terrific hail storm caused the entire
destruction of $50 to 800 acres of
tobacco an estimated loss of damage
in this item of s25, 900 to $4,000, and
injured number of acres of other
crops to an amount estimated at $1V,-
600 to Sis, 200.

Good Corn and Cotton Prospects. at

Statesville. July 20.-While the
farmers generally are complaining
that the crops are being badly dam
aged by the dry weather, the dam

northern portions of the county as in
the extreme southern section, and it
is believed that good crop of corn

the principal crops Garden truck

and fruit are scarce and high priced.
But the principal crops are being cul-
tlvated by modern methOdS-the far
mers Of 1redell having adopted the
best methods and on this account the
damage has not been SO great The
