Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
THOMASvILLE. Ga. Dec. 30.-That
the growing Of pecan nuts here is sur
fering no dimnution in popularity Is
shown by the demand for the Seeding
nuts for planting purposes now The
small Seeding nut which is too insignifi-
cant to command any price much on the
market for eating purposes, is sold readi-
ly for planting. as it makes no differences
about the size of the nut for that pur-
pose, as the only object is to get a
start with some nut of the pecan family
and as soon as the tree is large enough
it is grated with large paper shell va
riety. The yield from the seeding trees
this year was larger than from the paper
shells and a great many have been sold
for planting purposes.

BAY MADE SHALLOW.
BY FORCE OF WIND

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla, Dec. &c.
A steady north wind, which has been
blowing over Tampa bay for about
twenty-four hours has forced so much
water out of the bay that the Pokano-
ket was grounded while efecting land
ing at the electric wharf today. The
stern was allowed to drift around so
that a jury gangplank coul be used,
and the freight and some live stock,
which should have been unloaded here
had to be taken on down the Manatee
river, the officers hoping that the wind
may have subsidized enough to allow
sufficient water to come in to float the
steamer at her landing. The wind it.
self is moderate and not damaging.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, July %. 1912.
The conditions during the past week
we're almost ideal for growing crops.
and for haying. harvesting snd thrash
ing. The temperature was about nor
NAL. while the rainfall was generally
deficient, nearly all parts of the state
received light to copious showers. Some
localities in the southern districts
however, need rain badly for corn. po-
tatoes and pastures, but for the state
as a whole all crops are in excellent
condition. Hsying is nearly finished,
and the crop has been put up in fine
shape. The yield of hay is better than
anticipated and the quality is extra
good. The small grain harvest has
progressed rapidly. and the bulk of it
will be completed this week. Early
reports show some exceptionally large
yields and fine quality of grain. The
yield of winter wheat ranges from 70
to SO bushels per acre; oats 30 to %
and, barley 20 to 80 bushels. No timo-
thy has yet been thrashed, but large
acreage has been cut for seed. Corn
has made rapid growth, but the crop
as a whole is not yet quite up to the
normal in size and development, al
though the prospects are good, better
than an average yield if favorable
weather continues. Potatoes are gen.
erally in good condition and give prom
ise Of large crop.

reliable and definite information as to
whether the new De pot will be built
this year or carried over to another
