. Weekly Crop Bulletin, -t "
Ralhihk, May 8 The Weekly Crop
Bulletin for the week ending Monday,
May 7, 1000, Is as follows:
As the successful outcome of the farm
ers' labor depends'so largely upon thor
ough preparation of the soil and suita
ble conditions for planting at this season
of the year, it Is a' satisfaction Jo record
another -very favorable' week, during
which splendid progress was : made in
farm werk every where. As a whole, the
weather during the period ending Mon
day, May 7, 1000, was quite favorable;
the mean temperature was nearly norm
al, the" amount of sunshine was abun
dant, and the rainfaU light, while the
unfavorable conditions, chiefly affecting
the grovftti of vegetation, Sere of short
duration. The unfavorable features not
ed were the general thunderstorms on
the 2nd. or third, accompanied by high
winds and bail over a dozen or more
counties, fortunately without much
damage to cropi, and the cooler weather
following on the 4th and 5ih which
checked the growth of plants,," If . was
cool enough for frost in the mountainous
sections of North Carolina on the morn
ing of May 4th, but no positive injury
resulted. The amount of rainfall was
small, and Ifa many counties the ground
has become dry aud hard so that , warm,
gentle showers would now bo beneficial.
The advancement in plowing and plant
tng nas oeen so rapid that many crop
correspondents report farmers:! well up
with their work. Tbejrrowth of crops.

siderable trouble from . potato-bugs

potatoes, have sproutid well and slips
are ready for transplanting.- Wheat will
be one of the best crops harvested for
years; the plauts are healthy and vigor

by Insects, and are beginning to head;
spring oats need rain... In many countlos

London, May 7. Lord Roberts con
tinues his advance in IhO-OjangQ Free
State. , " ,
He was able to announce today an Im
portant straTcgic success, Hie seizure i f

Winburg diverges from the main railway
between Bloemtunltin and Pretoria,: At
the same time from other sources It wt s
learned that" Winburg had been occupi, d
by General Hamilton. Lord Roberts it

of the Free State. ; Frbm Winburg bills
the left extends ' toward Roshof and
Warrenton. The right runs southeast
from a point north of "Thaba Nchu to
Wepener. - . i - ; "
What Roberts' next strategical' move
will be is difficult to guess. The tempta
tion to try to keep the Boers on the run
must be great to him. but It is considered
probable that he will bring up the wingsil
hoff to Harrismlth before moving on
again. - .
