Js. n :1 mm P s Weekly Crop BuUetin, 3 The weekly crop bulletin for week and Ing Monday, September 8th, Is aifol lows: Frequent showers occurred during the past week, chiefly on theSd and 4th, which gave a fairly abundant amount of moisture along the northern tier of counties, but were very Irregularly dis tributed over the central and southern portions of . the State. . The droughty character of the season' hu not mate rially changed, "and crops continue to suffer from lack of sufficient moisture over meny counties. Where showers occurred late crops were revived to some extent, and field peas, turnips and clover were benefited. The mean temperature was'above normal except on the 5th and 6th which were quite cool. Farm work progresses rapidly, but fall plowing Is much, behind on account of the refrac tory condition of the soil. Streams arc very low and water for stock . Is scarce In some places. . VyS' fiyr Cotton has not Improved and will be far short of an average crop; the bolls have completed their growth and are opening very fast, soma prematurely oa account of rust which. Is very widespread Picking cotton Is now general and Is ad vancing mors rapidly. Lata planted cotton Is - still green and will give a small top crop. Corn Is practically made, and Is a very good crop on bot tom lands, though-sborV on uplands; much corn . has already beta cut and placed In shocks. Fodder pulling Is nearly finished. Making sorghum syrup has begun. ; Tobacco Is all cured except In the largot producing counties In the north from Granville to Surry where the work Is still In progress with good results. Minor , crops are fair to good and can hardly be further Influenced by weather conditions. Scuppernong grapes are ripening. Strawberry plants are suffering from the dry weather.
