Weather and Crop Bulletin.

vsSoN'tSf aNo ~f~P sA'S%fs
The Tennessee section OF the Gil
matological service of the United
States weather bureau issued sum-
mary of weather and crop conditions
in Tennessee during the past week, as
follows:
The week ending April IL was char
acterized by persistent cold, wet
weather. Rain fell nearly every day
in most parts of the state, and while
the rains were not heavy they kept
the ground wet and greatly hindered
farm work.
Frosts occurred on the 9th and 10th,
but probably without much damage, as
the weather preceding the frosts was
cold and there had been no forcing of
vegetation; furthermore, the temper
ature did not rise rapidly after the
frost, but a cool, damp day followed
The week closed with fair weather and
seasonable temperature.
Wheat and oats are reported gener-
ally good and the weather of the week
was not unfavorable for these crops.
Very little corn or cotton has been
planted as yet, but planting Of these
crops is a week or two behind the
average time. Potato planting Is also
backward, but some early planted po-
tatoes are up. The conditions were ia
vorable for Strawberries.

The state pension board convened
April IL in the office of the secretary.
Gen. John P. Hickman, for a 20-day
session. 1t will probably be several
days, however, before the board can
take up the applications now being
considered.
They report an unusually large num-
Der of applications for pensions on
hand for disposition at this meeting.
Col. Coley said that as no appropria-
tons had been made by the last legis-
lature to cover the two new pension
extensions, nothing can be done with
the applications under the provisions Of
the legislature of 1915.
