Friday, May 2, 1913. THE STATE JOURNAL. 15 JOURNALETTES By Old Hurrygraph Many a soft drink is hard to get by the fellow who hasn't the price. The moth-ball game is now a very popular one with housekeepers. It is a sure sign it is going to rain when some one swipes your umbrella. People find so many more excuses for themselves than they can for their friends. It is hard to tell which is the worst a woman that is jealous, or the man that isn't. Everybody can tell when a man is in love long before he begins to realize it himself. Most girls think an engagement ring is the best thing to "have on hand" all the time. There are a good many people who have no trials of their own who at tend those of others. Wishes he had the duty to pay. Anybody can be good for awhile. Staying good is the thing. We wager a Buffalo-Indian nickle that the man who is always telling how to manage a woman never tried it. The fellow subject to income tax, Grumbles and growls in a fretful way; While the fellow who the income lacks, When the housewife begins to move things around, and throw out the rugs, there is one of two things for hubby to do beat them, or "beat it." Science is engaged in evolving a stingless bee. We've had some of them all the time. The drone. What we want science to evolve is a voice less cat. There is a perfectly safe rule, If you'd keep off the rack; If you've anything to tell a mule, Don't tell it behind his back. Lillian Russell says that nothing can change the shape of the nose. What is Lillian going to do with those people who are always turning their noses up? In the case of the Arkansas man .vhose skull was trepanned with a hammered out dollar, it is an assured fact that he will have to go through life with money on the brain. We are told that the Countess D'Lasteyic has bagged fourteen goats, shooting with her left hand. Good shot! But most people over in this country have their goats dropped down right into their arms. An election bet is to be paid by a man leading a donkey from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore. Some men have an apt and fitting knack of choosing an appropriate and suitable compansion for a journey. When a man's wife backs up to him early in the morning, with arms akimbo, it is no sign that there is to be a family row. She just wants her hubby to button the shirtwaist up the back the places she cannot reach. The photoplay reels have many in teresting pictures wound around them. But they have not the vivid, exciting and imaginary pictures that are around the fishing reel, when it is taken down for a jaunt to the river banks. , A fellow at Ashland, Va.f found a safety pin in a boiled egg, and the Harrisburg News wants to know "what in the world did the old hen want with a safety pin." She want ed to pin her faith to the freshness of her lay, honey. The turtle is to take its place alongside of the cow -that is, if Dr. Friedman's vaccine virus is establish ed to do all that is claimed for it. "The path to the creek bank looks awful invitin', So grab your fishpole for the big trout are bitin. Oh, there's life in the blossoms with fragrance unfurled, Joy in the heart and it's such a good world." A spring cold has one advantage to the person whose nose will persist in running, and turning red. ( It brings to the possessor so much ad vice, and such a variety of cures nev er heard of before, which can be tried between sniffles and sneezes. But you will most generally find that some of these remedies are "not to be sneezed at," however. How About the Fruit Crop? Although it may at this date (April 30) be a little premature to forecast the probable fruit crop for the State of North Carolina for the year 1913, one cannot but note with interest as the days and weeks go by, its prog ress toward the period of safety. From its records of the last thirty years the weather bureau has placed April 20 as the average date of the last killing frost in spring for the general fruit region of North Caro lina. Most of our fruit sections have safely passed that date, although a few have suffered somewhat from un favorable local conditions, especially from cold, blasting winds. Injurious cold spells have occurred here as late as May 10; so we are not yet entirely out -of danger, though the risk rap idly lessens with each passing day. The bloom on nearly all kinds of fruit this spring was exceptionally heavy, and the possibilities were there for as large a crop as we had last year. The season opened earlier than usual, and pears and peaches came into bloom sooner than is usu al for this part of the country. A season of cool, dry weather followed, with sharp frosts. In many sections pears suffered so severely that grow ers did not consider it worth while to make a second spraying. Peaches on lower lands suffered severely and have left only a remnant of a crop. On higher mountain lands and in sheltered coves, many peach orchards seem to have escaped and at present show a fine set of fruit. In the east the set of peaches seems on the aver age to be better than in the western part of the State. If cold, dry or windy weather is prevalent for the next week or two the "May drop" may reduce the present peach pros pects in many sections. The peach outlook at Southern Pines, owing to winter injury to the trees during the last two seasons, is not as favor able as could be hoped. The Candor region, however, seems to have es caped, and the prospect there is re ported as being very favorable. Apple trees were not out of bud during the early cold spell, and so escaped injury from cold. In some parts, however, they were injured by heavy winds during blossoming time. On the whole, the apple prospects seem to be pretty favorable over the whole State, though not by any means up to what we had last year. The strawberry crop has suffered severely this season from dry weath er and repeated cold spells. For this reason the quality of the fruit is not up to the average, and the total crop will likely be many cars short of what is considered an average crop. Beans, potatoes and other early truck crops were badly nipped in many sections of eastern Carolina by two sharp frosts last week, though in some sections, owing to condi tions hard to account for, little in jury has been shown.
