WEATHER AND CROP BUL.
 LETIN.

The week was unusually fa- vorable for farm work because of the cool, dry weather. The temperature ranged from 2 de- gress to 10 degrees below nor- mai until Sunday, after which it turned warmer. There was no rainfall except in the extreme northwest corner of the state.
 The weather was a little too cool for cotton, which made fair progress in most portions, but deteriorated in a few localities in the southeastern portion of the state. Corn has made ex- cellent progress, except in east ern and southern counties, where the ground is becoming too dry, and reports of "rain needed" were received from most places in this portion.
 The cotton crop is in fair to good condition in nearly all portions. Corn is reported as in fair to good condition in east ern and southern portions, in good to excellent condition in re- maining portions. Hay and for age crops are abundant; the melon crop is good, and canta- loupes are so plentiful that there is poor market for them. Large shipments of peaches are being made from central portions of the state, garden truck is plen- tiful, and the sweet potato crop promises to be excellent.-H. s. Cole, Section Director.

on our late gardens and melon patches. However, a good corn crop is already made, and if it rains soon we will come out all right.
 The canning season Is in full swing; also summer schools, summer boarders and protracted meetings, which makes this a very busy time for the farmers wife. We hope the time is near when we can dispense with the summer schools. We should be more progressive. The weather is too hot to confne our children in school while the gathering and canning of vegetables and fruit is just good exercise for them-also a practical educa- tion.
 Some of our farmers met at Prothro's Camp Ground last Saturday to help organize a farmers union. Mr. Pye of the demonstration work was with us. Speeches were made by Dr. Dickinson of Little Rock and Messrs. Brantley and Thomas Newton of Newton bottoms. They should come again. We need to meet oftener. As a class we are slow to grasp an opportu- nity, but if farmers can ever be made to realize their great im- portance and will pull together, they can eventually possess the country.
 Since the Little Rock people have discovered our beautiful country they come out every week in their big autos and take possession. They catch our fish, monopolize our swimming holes, laugh at our retiring ways and shock our modesty. They should bring along their bathing suits when they take the ford of the creek for their swimming hole.
