CAROLINA CROP NOTES Raleigh, June 14.—Good rains and fairly warm weather since June Ist have changed a song of sorrow in some sections into a more satisfac tory refrain, according to reports to the Crop Reporting Service of the State Department of Agriculture. The elements amended their prohi bition law on the 4th and sth to in clude light rains and showers, though the western and southern sections have profited little from this amendment. Conditions have im proved much since June Ist. good but insufficient i*ains being reported from all sections east and north of Raleigh, while the southern Piedmont and many western counties report that they are still greatly in need of rain. The principal damage from the past cool and dry weather was its effects on seed germination, especi ally of cotton, retarded plant growth, and reduction in quality of early truck and fruit. Small Grain. Corn is reported as better than other crops everywhere, with good stands general, and very little re planting necessary. Farmers in the southern Piedmont and mountain counties have lots yet to be planted, and the crop in that section is need ing more rain. Corn prospects are considered bright as the crop has not suffered excessively from drought. Wheat averages from fair to very good. The expected yield at this time of about 10.7 bushels per aci-e, is slightly below that of last year. The crop is expected to produce about 8 per cent more bushels than last year, due to an increase in acreage. The present condition is 2 points be low the past ten-year average. Oats are reported as very poor to fair with some very good conditions in the mountain area. The best con ditions are reported from the west ern mountain and southern Piedmont counties, notwithstanding that section has had the least rainfall Rye averages fair to very good, I though the plants are considered j i 25 Residential Lots and 2 Houses and Lots I Located on Broadway Street, Forest City, N.

C. rather short in straw and the pro duction expected will be slightly be low last yeai\ Cotton. Early reports on the probable ac reage of cotton indicated a decrease for 1926. There is evidence at this time that the area planted this year will be at least as large as last year's planted area, but the effects of the dry weather may reduce this either by causing a considerable abandon ment where the seed failed to come up and no replanting was done, or by reducing the expected plantings. Many farmers considered it folly to plant seed in the dry soil in some sections prior to June Ist. ex act acreage is problematical at this time but no substantial decrease from last year is expected. The stands to date have been ir regular in the extreme. Early plant ed cotton is in fair shape but much of the late planted crop has not come up yet, though much improve ment is noticeable throughout the belt since the recent rains. About 38 per cent of the state's cotton crop was up to a stand by May 25, with about 95 per cent of the crop plant ed. Only about 5 per cent had been chopped at that time. The season is considered from two to three weeks late. The growth of plants has been generally very poor. The dry, cool and windy weather occurring just when seed were beginning to sprout has retarded most plant growth. One should not overlook the dry weather nature of the cotton plant, however, and hot, seasonable weather from now, interspersed with occasional showers, can work wonders with our cotton. Hay Crops. Early clover prospects are consid ered very poor. The crop is badly in need of rain and stands are spotted showing very poor growth. Small grain hays have also suffer ed for lack of rain. The majority of the grain hays are cut through the eastern counties and cuttings have averaged 1650 pounds per acre this year for the state. Hay crops as a "whole, are consid ered the shortest in years in this THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1926 state and pastures are extremely dry and poor. Fertilizers. The fertilizer tonnage used this year is probably slightly les.i than last year. It is interesting to note that more cash payments for ferti lizers are recorded this year and this is indicative of more demand for cash in trade. This should ulti j mately prove to the advantage of farmers eliminating time prices. NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE State of North Carolina, County of Rutherford, Town of Forest City.
