- Alderman undecided. A
RAtEieH. April "11. The first Stat
weather and crop bulletin of the year
was lBsued by the United States weather
Bureau - yesterday. ' It" Is ts follows:
The beginning of the 'crop season of
1900 must be recorded as unfarorable.
ihlefly on account of the delay in. farm
work etnsed by continuous ooldr- wet .
disagreeable weather daring February
and March. Spring is unusually late and
vegetation very back ward; foreet - trees
west of Raleigh hardly yetshow signs of
growth; the ground is cold and unfavor
able for the germination of seedB, . The
lack of snow covering- and alternate
freezing' and. thawing during, winter
materially injured winter .'oats; on .the
other band most of the wheat crop
though small Is thrifty and,. Is "progress
ing favorably. .. A relative small crop of
spring oats has been seeded, As the
value of track oropt grown In the east
depends on their early maturity, the
baokwardness of the season Is especially
unfortunate In that section: early cab
bage, peas and lettuce are not as good as
last year; beans, peas and onions are np;
Irish potatoes are late.. Btrawberries
also, though coming into bloom rapidly
now, are a week or ten days behind the
average. 'The laming of fruit trees has
been greatly retarded by the late advent
of spring, and so far the prospects of
trait must be considered exceptionally
good. i . -, ri' ? 1 ' -
The reports of crop correspondents
for the week ending last night . Indicated
a ' continuation of unfavorable- condi
tions for growth to and Including Thurs
day, 5to.. Light rains occuredjra serer-
al days early- in the' week averaging
however less than half an: loch for the
Slate, and were followed by frosts.1 The
cold weather culminated in a freeze . on
the morning of the fifth, which on ac
count of fhe unusual dryness, of the air
and the prevailing high winds, did com-
parltlrely little, damage, though -truok
orops were - slightly-Injured an4 some
peaches were killed, y.v!" .v n -a
On the whole the week was favorable
for farm work which thaegh verjr much
behind, is now actively under way neat
ly everywhere except- In the , extreme
west. - The ground has dried out and
In ' excellent - condition - for ' working
Much corn has been planted in the south
and east portions of the State.. The large
amounts of fertilizers purchased 1 an
unfailing indication of a large acreage to
be: devoted to cotton. , Tobacco plants
are small but growing' nicely,' and are
reported plentiful Gardens are quite
late, generally almost untouched! only a
few of the usual vegetables are. up, ex
cept in the east and .south, where peas,
onions, radishes, etc., have made sum
growth; Irish potatoes are very late
The warm weather of the 6th to 8the
brodght Inte full bloom many , peach.
pear, plum and cherry - trees throughout
the State, With a continuation of fa
vorable weather the progress of growth
and the activity of ' the farmer will
soou bring the the season Up to an av
erage one. ;,i .
