Last Week's North Carolina Crop Bul
letin. Cotton has overgrown its normal
size in most counties, and in the
central-eastern portion the nlants
are not very full of blooms and
fruit; there is considerable damage
by rust, but less report of shedding,
although where the prop is suffering
from excessive moisture both bolls
and leaves are falling, and on light
lands plants are turning yellow. In
the west in spite of rapid growth
cotton seems to be blooming freely
and fruiting well. Very favorable
conditions from now on will be need
ed to make an average crop of cot
ton. Early upland corn is about
made ; fodder is ripening, and pull
ing has begun in a few counties;
young corn appears to be earing and
filling nicely, in places from 1 to 4
silks to the stalk are reported; much
bottom land corn is still badlv in the
grass. Tobacco is doing fairly "well
as a rule and is curing nicely, but
it is over rine in some places, and
on thin land the cures are light on
account of damage by too much
moisture. Peanuts, field peas, sweet
Dotatoes and rice have progressed

grains is about over, and in many in
stances the yield has turned out
somewhat better than expected. Sow
ing turnip seed and late hay making
are under way. The fruit crop in
the west will be short and inferior;
apples are very scabby; grapes are
ripening; the. moist, cloudy weather
