WEEKLY FARM NOTES.

Rains have been general thruogh-
out North Carolina during the past
week. according to reports of the
county farm agents. The coastal and
mountain areas report some damage
to crops on account of too much
precipitation, but in the rest of the
state the crops are much improved
Some sections of piedmont are still
dry.
In counties where it has not been
completed, wheat threshing is in
progress, a SO per cent crop only be-
ing practically assured. Corn is grow
ing rapidly and prospects for a very
good crop are excellent. In some
sections the rain has injured the cot
ton, but reports generally indicate
continued improvement and the crop
now averages good. Present condi-
tions point to a good to fine" to-
bacco crop and in most places curing
is well advanced. Hay and grasses are
in good condition, but reported to be
wasting in the fields in some of the
mountain counties due to excess rain
fall. Pastures are reported good ow-
ing to the rains, and truck, although
somewhat scarce, is of good quality.
Peaches are being packed and shipped
from the Sandhill region and the crop
is~unusualEy good. From all other re-
gions fruit reports are discouraging.
With the Improvement in pastures,
cattle are looking better; the general
condition of all live stock is good and
the supply about normal.
Corn has been laid by in several
sections and in some counties farm
ers; breaking the land for wheat.
Crops are worked out well, despite
the wet weather. The Cooperative
Marketing movement is steadily gain
ing ground and interest remains
keen. Farmers in the northern coast
al sections are using some top dress
ing for peanuts. En- the piedmont, or
ders for cariot shipments of lime are
common, indicating a greater acre
age OF clover and grasses this fall.
According to the report of the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture, the condition Of the corn crop Of
the country has improved in many
sections since the recent rains. The
harvesting of winter wheat is pro-
crossing rapidly and in some of the
central states, threshfng is nearing
completion. The oat crop is disap-
pointing, owing to the effects of the
extreme heat and the drought. The
cotton crop Of the country has i'm
proved considerably and picking is in
progress in southern Texas.

New York, July 28.-Commander
Evangeline Booth, head of the Sal

says the country is facing the worst
winter industrially that the nation
has known in Is years.

clared, 1--WE are receiving an average
of 1900 registered applications d
week for regular employment. That
is less than one third of the actual

Judging from applications made
us more than so per cent of the ap-
plicants come from outside New
York. Every time depression occurs
outside the city many come to New
York. New York cannot take care of
her own.
s'Most of the men who apply for re-
lief are young men under 40 who are
willing to work but there are no
positions for them. Last week we
had "a families to care for with lit

RAILROADS TRYING TO PUT
SOMETHING OVER ON SHIPPEF

Mr.. H. Y. Scott, secretary of the
Chamber Of Commerce returned this
morning from Washington, d. c.,
where he has been attending a rate
hearing between the shippers of the
United States and the carriers. Mr..
Scott states that over three hundred
of the largest shippers, traffic men
and railroad officials attended tie
meeting, there being about twenty
five from North Carolina, and every
city of any Importance east of the
Mississippi had representatives on
hand. The propositions as put for
ward by the carriers were in the
opinion of the leading traffic men of
the East the most unjust, unfair ard
unreasonable that have ever been
put up to the shippers, and it was
evident to all present that the car
riers were acting in an underhanded
way without cause or justification
and they were told so in plain
words by the shippers.
The attack on the carriers was
lead by Mr.. Chandler, Traffic man
ager of the Boston, Mass. Chamber
of Commerce, and Mr.. Scott states
that he gave the carriers the rough
est talk he ever had the pleasure of
hearing. He accused them of not
telling the truth, four-flushing and
stated the shippers and public were
tired of the way the carriers were
putting it over on the public, he
stated they were like buZzards, al
ways having their hand out for
more. He further stated that they
were the only grafters left now. On
account of the large number present
a committee of ten was appointed
by the shippers and like number
by the carriers to go in conference
gether without going before the In
terstate Commerce Commission ard
North Carolina will be represented
by NJ. r. Beaman, of the N. C. Traf-
f1c League, ]. L. Graham. Traffic
Manager of the Reynolds Tobacco
Co. and A. J. Maxwell Of the N c..
Corporation Commission.
! In regards to complying with the
order of the 7. G. c. regarding re-
mova1 of the discrimination that has
existed against North Carolina in ia
vor of the Virginia Cities for so
many years the carriers propose to
do so, but not like the I. C. C. had
in mind or intended The carriers
have submitted a proposal showing
certain proposed figures, under a
different percentage relation . of
classes than indicated in the order
of the commission from the East to
words they propose to raise the rates
from Eastern points to the Virginia
cities and then raise the rates from
Virginia Cities to North Carolina
points, this the commission did not
authorize and is simply ar scheme of
the carriers to get more revenue and
to delay the matter as long S pos
sible, and it is the intention Of the
committee of ten to fight the matter
to a finish with the carriers at their
conferences that will start next
week, the public does not want to
delay the matter any further by ask
ing the I. c. C. to step in, but if the
carriers thinks they can get by with
they unheard. of propositions that
they are trying to slap the public in
the face with, then they will be
fought to a finish
