BAUGHAM & WEAVER, Bich Square, N. O. NOTICE- WEEKLY BULLETffl. ssued by the North Carolina Sec tion of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for week end ing April 20, 1903. The report of crop correspon dents for the past week indicate that the weather conditions have been decidedly unfavorable both or fiom work and for the growth of crops. The temperature av eraged from 2 to 3 degrees daily below the normal, ranging from a maximum of 74 degrees to a min imutn of 34 degrees, the latter temperature occurring at Ashe ville the morning of April 18th with killing frost; light to heavy rosts also occurred in the cen tral and eastern portions of the State on Saturday morning with slight damage to vegetation. The most unfavorable feature of the week was the frequent precipita tion. Though not excessive in amonnt rain fell on five days of the week, with snow in the moun tains on the 15th. The rainfall was least in the southeast ptrtion of the State and in that section plowing and planting made some progress. On the 14th severe ocal storms with hail occurred in several western and eastern counties, -with much damage to truck and strawberries in limited ocalities, chiefly in Beaufort, Craven, Sampson, Cumberland and Columbus counties. The ack of sunshine, the cold north erly wnds, and soaked condition of the soil prevented much work of any kind, and farming opera tions are now very backward: moreover the cold wet soil is very unfavorable for the rapid germination of seeds. A few farmers have fininshed planting corn on uplands in the east but very little corn has been planted elsewhere, and what was planted early is coming up very slowly. Some cotton has been planted in the south portion. Tobacco plants are well advanced and many plants have been set; though most of the land is hardly ready yet. While a majority of reports indicate that winter wheat is still in fair condition, many correspondents state that the ci'op has received much dam aga by the bessian fly, chinch ougs are injuring wheat in many fields; the cold, wet weather has caused mucn yellowing and lust is spreading. Irish potatoes are coming up fairly well. Gardens have made very little progress. Fruit in the west was further in jared by frost this, week, but there will be plenty of peaches, plums and a good crop apples. In spite of unfavorable conditions for ripening of berries and matur ing of truck, shipments of these crops were large during the week Pendleton Letter Sorry to report Miss Reola Lee on the sick list this week Mr. G, B. Pope of Woodland was in town last week baying iron Mr 8. D. K.
