Tha reports of crop correspondents
for lb week ending Monday, September
S3, 1899, Indicate that more favorable
conditions prevailed In many sections of
the State In oontequene of beneficial
ra'ns on the first three days Ot ths week;
bat on the whole the season i f 1899 doe
not eloae under entirely satisfactory cir
cumstances. The rainfall wu light, Ir
regularly distributed, and generally not
sufficient to place the aoll la good con
dition for fall plowing; drought remains
practically unbroken over a majority ot
counties In the State, and It is this fu
ture, now repeated four successive sea
sons, which hu again dimmed the out
look so bright at mid-seaaeo. The tem
peratcrre , wu below lbs normal, with
dally deflolenc i of only about 8 de
gree, but the nights were very oeol and
touches of light frost wer reported In
low place In soma central-weat counties
on the 28dandi3d without injury to
vegetal! n. The week wu very favor
able for out-door work of every kind.
The housing of crops bu proceeded
rapidly under favorable weather condl
llona. Many crop corietpodenta report
that cotton It "about all open;" only on
heavily fertilised fields it there any
prospect for a top crop. The lint hu
been uved nnder fine conditions, aad
picking will probably be completed ear
lier thaa usual. TheyieHof cotton In
North Carolina will undoubtedly be
short. Corn is only fair; upland crops
are generally poor in the west, bat bottom-land
corn la due, not having been
Injured by freshets at any time daring
the season. Saving fodder Is nearly over
and gathering corn Is underway. The
special- feature with regard to tebaoco
wu the large and aatitfaotory yield ob
tained hi eastern counties, where unusual
attention wu paid to the crop this year.
Owing to late transplanting under un
favorable conditions In spring, tbs re
sults With tobacco were not so good ht
the north-cent ral-weat portions. Small
quantities of tobacco still remain to be
cut in the west All minor crops suffered
considerably from drought this falL .
Where sbowers occurred this week
peanuts, sweet potatoes, late cabbage,
and turnips revived; but they are still
suffering for moisture. Digging peanuts
it progressing with prospects for a good
yield. Harvesting tic hu begun. Pre
paration for nest season's truck crops Is
active In the east.' Fall plowing Is still
much delayed and ths bulk tot the winter
grains will be seeded next month.
