July Crop Report.
We have been kindly furnished by
the Commissioner of Agriculture
with proof sheets of the crop report
for the month of July As to cotton
the report is as follows: The average
condition of the crop in this State is
5dJ. Last year it was at this time 120.
The nicst sanguine estimate now
gives about 50 per cent of last years
crops. This is the lowest average
condition reported for this corp in
years.
The prospect of tobacco iu the gen
eral average is 85; this is five points
lower than at this time last year.
As to Wake county there has been a
scarcity of farm labor, consequently
the crops have not been freed from
grass; all crops are small and back
ward; too much rain has thrown
them backward and the general out
look is anything else but promising,
as crops are two to three weeks late,
and, in many sections the stand of
cotton and tobacco is poor.
Carpets and Carpets and Car
We have a tig lot of all wool in
grain carpets of beautiful patterns.
Also a big lot heavy all cotton in
