Continuous Rains Cause Much Appre
hension for State Crops.
The gravest concern is felt at the
Agricultural Department at Raleigh
as to the effect ofthe continued heavy
rainfall through the central and east
em sections of the state on the crops
especially cotton. Commissioner of
Agriculture W. A. Graham says tliat
a crop failure this venr would mean
a disaster from which the farmers
would not recover in several yars.
Big increase in the cost of lulmr and
supplies and in fertilizers have put
the farmers to so much heavier ex
pense that a crop failure would mean
about twice as great a disaster as
snch failures in the past meant. An
other week of this wet weather, even
if the rainfalls are not anything like
ad heavy as they Jiave been the past
two weeks, will mean the ruin of the
crops throughout this section. The
rainfall at Raleigh thus far for June
has been 6.48 inches. This is by odds
'heavier than for any eoresponding pe
riod of previous years in a long time.

Mr. Editor: Those of ns 'who live

of this we see demonstrated all over

Bad Weather Hurt Crops.
Generally unfavorable weather pre
vailed throughout last week over a
irrealer portion of the country, muoh
to the detriment of crops, according
to the National Weekly Weather Bul
letin: "The weather of the 'week was
again largely unfavorable over the
major portion of the great agricultu
ral districts east of the Rocky Moun
tains,'1 says the report. "In the corn
growing States of (We Middle West,
including the Ohio and Tennessee val
leys, cloudy, rainy weather, with con
tinued cold, greatly interfered with
outdoor occupations, and retarded
vegetable growth of al kinds. Sun
shine and warm and dry 'weather are
greatly needed over nearly all por
tions of the above districts. Over
the districts of the Atlantic Coast
from the Carolinas northward to New
England, the week was almost contin
uously cloudy, cold and rainy, ami all
farming operations were delayed and
vegeable growth retarded. Sunshine,
warmth and dryer weather are all
needed in this district also."

Shows the Way to Exterminate Flies.
Flies need uo longer be the pest of
the country town iu summer. They
will vanish like mist in sunlight if the
prescription of Prof. William B.
Heruis, of the California Stale Board
of Health is used.
Profesor Heruis explains that the
reason why Hies are so prevalent in
villages is that it is usual for lhe resi
iients to leave their refuse open to
the air to feed and afford breeding
places for the flies. If these places are
all closed up, lie declares, the pest will
be driven out. To use his own words:
"The town that permanently abol
ishes all open toilets and oilier condi
tions of tilth and moisture, such as de
eoniMsing refuse heaps, accretions in
garbage barrels, etc., will become fly
less. House flies cannot come into ex
istence unless they have some such
places iu wbicli to breed. They seldom
navel more than one or two bliM'ks
from their place of hatching.
"According to rewirls received by
the State Board of Health, it has re
mained for Lakeport, a summer resort
in the Lake country, to lead the non
sewered towns of the state in relieving
its visitors and inhabitants of My and
odor evils by making the dry-earth
loilel system universal and compul
sory. "Odors do not escape from properly
operated dry-earth toilets, and Hies
cannot breed in them, lhe change of
open vault toilets to t he dry-earth syss
tem is simple and inexpensive."
