—No Serious Disorders
Have Been Reported.
London, May B.— (A I )—lntensive
preparations by the government to
ileal wi.'a any untoward situation, and
to keep the vitnl serviees running
featured the fifth day of the general
strike.
This being Saturday, a half holi
day. there was a little attempt to eon
duct ordinary business. A govern
ment statement at 1 p. m. said the
situation was the same as yesterday
and satisfactory.
The labor ’.leadquarter* did not is
sue its usual noon statement but con
ferences were going on continually
among the leaders. Thus far, there
are no sings of re-opening official
peace negotiations, ami the miners'
leader, A. J. Cook, told the Asso
ciated Press there was nothing to in
dicate tile possibility of any such liar
leys over the week-end.
In the Welsh mining district the
strikers are beginning to feel the
pinch of. hunger, and hundreds of
miners' families have appealed to the
poor guardians for relief. \ >
Police in congested regions of Lon
don. reinforced today ns a precaution
against possible looting of shops to
night when strikers receive strike pay
instead of usual weekly envelopes.
Armored cars are being moved to
ward I/ondon from the Aldershot mil
itary camp, and a tank corps was em
barked at Belfast this morning for
an unknown destination. No dis
orders of consequence had been re
ported up to early afternoon, Lon
don time.
The trans-Atlantic liners continued
to move passengers to and from ports
by means of motor lorries. The strik

HOngtr Felt By Miners. !
Lanefly, rarmarthanshire, Wales., 1
May B. —CdP) —Hunger is beginning to
stalk through the strike-bound mining!
districts of Wales.
Hundreds of strikers and families
already have applied to the poor
guardians for relief, and the board of
guardians here and in many other sec
tions are facing a problem as their
funds are already overdrawn. The re
lief officers here, however, have been
instructed to give aid in destitute cas
es, despite the shortage of funds. i
It is impossible to pay unemploy
ment doles to the men on strike, as
they are not classified as unemployed,
and can bo helped only through their
union or the poor guardians.

NORT CAROLINA CROPS
IN CRITICAL CONDITION
tiro light About by the Unusually
Cold Weather in April.
, Tribune Ituromi
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, May B.—That North Car
olina is in a critical condition nt tiief
present time is evident from many j
of the reports received from n 1 parts ;
of the stale by the North Carolina)
Crop Reporting Serviee in relation!
to the government crop report, re-;
leased from the National Crop Re-j
porting board this afternoon. This
condition has been brought about by
the unusually eold weal’iier in April,
eoinbined with excessively dry condi
tions.
According to several hundred re
ports received from erop reporters
familiar with the different agricultur
al sections of North Carolina, farm
progress is being greatly hindered
both ns to planting and plant growth
by file rool and dry weather. While
the damage by frost on April 20th
was heavy to truck and fruit, it was
not as disastrous to either ns was
thought at the time, although in some
localities it was very serious. Many
orchards and fields , were entirely
killed. Investigation -is lfow under
way in the fruit and trucking regions.
T'iie latest information indicates that
the Sand Hills peach crop will be
some less than the 2,000 carloads
made last year." The May crop will
largely determine the results. The
truck in eastern counties hns already
been planted over or partially recov
ered from the freeze.
The Irish potato crop lias been re
duced very little in acreage from the
25 per cent, increase over a year ago,
due in the eold. but the stands and
growth have been seriously handi
capped. Os course tile liotatoes are
sprouting out now and new plants
growing rapidly, make the 2erop
late.
The apple crop in the mountainous
section of the state seems to be in
fairly good condition, ns the freeze did
very little damage in the commercial
• areas. The present outlook is for
7!) per cent, of a full crop ns com
!sired with 70 per cent, last year.
Potatoes show 73 per cent, condition
as compared with 84 last year.
Peaches are 67 per cent, as com
, pared with 73 per cent, last year. Os
I course these conditions may be
• ehnngeil as a result of varying ,vratti
er later, insects and other natural
causes.
Cotton and tobacco show tendencies
toward increased ncrenges. with plant
ings progressing rapidly. Os course,
it is almost too dry for results to
be anticipated ns yet.
Farming activities have been as
good as the dry condition of the soil
Would permit. The work was rela
tively late in being begun in the
early spring. The plowing shows 83
1 per cent; completed on Slay Ist, as
compared with 89 per cent, a year
ago. Tlie spring sowing and plant
ing shows still later delays as only
62 per cent, of the seeding was com
pleted by May Ist, as compared with
78 per cent, a year ago. The work
seems to be from 10 to 12 days late
and the farmers are rather g’.oomy
as to the outlook.
Farm labor still continue to show
considerable shortage as compared
with the demand. Pastures, which
I offer a good index to weather condi
tions, show a condition 13 per cent,
lower than a year ago. While the
quality of hay on farms is about 13
per cent, of last year’# crop, it is
about the same as a year ago.

the executive committee that through ;
the liberality and interest of other
North Carolinians, this prize may be
established as an annual award. The
North Carolina Press Association is

papers in the South to offer an edi
torial prize of this size.
