Department of Agriculture,-Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, North Carolina section, for the week ending Monday, Sept. 1. : . Except In a few western counties where - beneficial showers occurred on the 26th and 28th, the past week was extremely dry throughout the greater portion of the state; at most places, Indeed, hardly mors than "traces" ol rain occurred. The moan temperature was about nor. mal, with warm days and rather 'cool nights. The amount of sunshine -was - abundant, and the weather Very agree able, but showers are much needed for all late crops, especially corn, peas, late cat- ; bages, potatoes, clover and turnips. Ex cellent progress In pulling fodder, curing tobacco, picking cotton and haying was made under the very favorable conditions that;; prevailed for ; farm ; work. - The ground Is now so dry and hard that fall plowing and "preparations tor winter wheat and oats are backward. - Dry weather has caused the growth of cotton to cease, and top bolls are not forming; some fields look as brown as they usually do in October. Cotton, is . opening ' very fast, and is said to be nearly half open, but the absence of yery high maximum tamperaturee has pre vented much premature opening; com plaints of rust and shedding continue and some correspondents report short crops on account of the small slxe of the bolls. Picking is progressing, but' Is behind on account of rapid opening and scarcity of labor. Late corn' continues to do well and In many sections will be the best crop gathered. Fulling fodder 'continues actively, Tobacco la ripening in north western counties; while the crop planted was short, the yield has been above the average In quality;; Digging sweet pota toes and peanuts has commenced and also cutting rice with , favorable pros pects for these crops. Peavines promise a large yield of hay, but are not fruiting heavily. . Crimson clover and late seeded - turnips have not come up on account of : drought. ' TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. ' Instructive Addressoa by Rev, ', Blanohard and Mr. Ormond. ! Rev. Mr. Blanchard's address Wednes- . day morning was considered by many to be one of the strongest ever delivered In Klnston. Some of the points are as fol lows : ' ' . . , " The problem of the twentieth century that demands our greatest consideration ' is the educational work in our rural dis tricts. The country tsachers have this great responsibility and privilege and by them the foundation for good citizenship lstobelaid. , ' "From' statistics we learn that forty . per cent, of those that ought to be in the schools are not there, and are therefore without the pale of educational influence. The problem is magnified to the country teacher especially, because, as Investiga tion and history proves, It is from' the country that the business men and in fact the leaders in all phases of life are to come. . In the place thus where an edu- cational Influence is most needed it is felt less the masses in the rural sections of North Carolina are ignorant. The solv ing of this problem devolves upon this generation and upon the teacheis especi ally, and at the basis of this lies the wel fare of the state. "We need consolidated school districts. Educators and teachers must unite to 'bring popular sentiment to the point where selileh desires and prejudices may be lost s'-ht of Ii consideration of the common weal. uch a cor?oliuatlon would moie it pop-llleto Iu;;rove and tetter equ'p V.e ff'.ool Y, -- r 1 t-.r-round-'rss, for la t'Ju -t our p.

V J : j!j 1 KIWSTON TOBACCO ilARKET GLUTTED FARMERS ASKED TO HOLD BACK The'Rasb Lowers Prices and Occasions ) . " .Heaiy tosses. ,;i v freed to Grade Their Tobacco and Bold It for a Little While Warehonaenen and Buyers Swamped and Hard to Keep the Money Coming Fast Encughto Meet Heavy Demand. The warehouses ' today were all com fortably filled with tobacco, , about 400,000 being ' Offered, and the prices were decidedly off, , The cause of this is evident, to every one whQ studies the conditions. , , Farmers are rushing their tobacco to I market la an ungraded state, which necessitates an exfra amount, of labor to handle it, and the consequence is that the buyers are crowded for storage room and are not enthusiastic about buying. These conditions, however, - are osly temporary and do not affect the market permanently. . But the advice of all con cerned is that the farmers bold their to bacco for the time being, and in the meantime they can get It In better shape for market, which will innure greatly to their benefit. ,.,.. The slump In the prices were more t otlceable on the higher grades, and lower grades were but slightly affected. There is no good reason, that tobacco should be permanently lower,' as the manufacturers have raised the price of manufactured tobacco all along the line, which will 00 doubt be continued, and of course this should act as a ballast to the market. The Klnston I market is not alone In these conditions and Is still the highest market in the state. - - , . It is the intention of The Free Press to state the true conditions of the market as they exist, for the benefit of its many readers among , the farmers, and will always look, to the interest of all con cerned, hence this statement of today's market. : - " The heaviest buyers were In the mark et only when guaranteed by the ware housemen that their purchases would be stored by the, warehouses, as they have not completed their buildings and conse quently cannot handle their purchases to good advantage. A wire from other markets to the warehousemen at this place discloses the fact that Klnston was not the first to suffer from the slump, but that tobacco was off last week in other markets of eastern Carolina. These facts about opver.the situation and need not be alarming to any one. The rumor that the two big trusts had called a conference in London .for the purpose of getting together on the prfie to be paid for tobacco is not the cause of the slump, as that conference was called for an entirely different purpose. .'" ' " L The vast quantities of ungraded to bacco is said to be the sole cause of the slump and It operates detrimentally in two ways.; There Is not anywhere near help enough, here consequently the grading is slow; this delays getting It to the jobbers and that delays the money getting back here. - f . , et y The advice of all the tobacco men is that farmers take time and bring their tobacco to market reasonably,' and not rush the big sales day. . , Tobacco Is still selling . considerably higher now than it did last year, , s 1 .1 P o t il 1 enm s & i Site JT.
