The weekly crop bulletin for North Carolina, for the week ending August 21, says: "It has been cloudy and warm during the tlrst part of the week in the east and central portions, and generally rainy in the mid dle of the week throughout the state. The temperature as a rule has been cool. These con ditions were very favorable for outside work in many parts of the state, but not beneficial for growing crops. In some sections the land was so wet that no out side work could be done, and the crops suffered as the land could not be worked. The rains were particularly damaging in the central and western districts, where considerable injury was done by washing. "Reports of cotton shedding come from all parts of the state. Cotton rust is reported to be very bad in Johnston county. In the eastern district cotton is opening quite generally; also to some extent in the central and western districts where it is still blooming. W hile some report very good and average crops, many report a small or a one half crop. "Young and late corn was damaged by rain to a great ex tent, and is firing in some places. In some sections the crop is promising, but many report a small crop. It is not maturing well, and more sunshine is needed j for this crop throughout the st&ts "Tobacco is still being cut in central and western districts; in most places curing is progress ing nicely, and a good average crop will be realized. Tobacco is tiring very fast in Person; county and is being cut and cured "as fast as possible. Worms are injuring tobacco in Yadkin county. . , , ? ?
