Improvement Id Growth Tegetatlon. stmction of Strawberries, Injury to Fniiu , a ' Ralrigh, May 13.The reports of cor respondents this week Indicate fnrthee goneral Improvement In eorn conditions and In'tue growth of, vegetation, The temperai ore 1 averaged nearly normal and although sever mornings were quite cool, -there were no extremes. Showers were frequent, occurring at some Station or other on almost . every day of the week. In' spile of some very heavy local rains, the average rainfall was about normal and' wae0Uremely beneficial. " The soli was phced In excel lent condition for plowing, the germina tion of seeds was hastened, and vegeta tion refreshed. Toward tl:e latter part of the Week farm work was interrupted tn some sections and Weeds and, grass became, troublesome, but generally farmers aro fairly well up with their work. - The unfortunate feature of the weather this week was the .- unusually Urge number of severe local thunder storms with heavy hail, chiefly from the 7th to 10th.:; At many points the hall stones were quite largo and covered the ground to the depth 6f severe) Inches, Tbe greatest damago occurred in the strawberry region of southern North Carolina. Truck crops and garden vege tables were Injured; corn, ' cotton, and tobacco somewhat " cut;' "wheat fields lodged, and fruit beaten from the trees. Tbe counties over' which the greatest damage occurred were, in the Eastern District: Wayne, Nasb, Wilson, Pender Sampson, and Urcene. in the Central District; Wake, Johnson, Franklin, Moore, Richmond, Forsythe, Guilford. and tn tbe Western; Ruthford, Cald well, Catawba, Polk, Davie, and Iredell The bulk of the cotton crop has now been sown. Late planted cotton Is com ing up well, and fair stands seem assured by the beneficial rains this week; some fields are grassy and working the crop has begun; in southern counties some chopping has been done. There is still much corn Jo be replanted on account of bad stands; the condition 0?" corn that U up Is much Improved. Fine' seasons enable farmers to transplant many to- bscco plants, especially in eastern and southern portions) elsewhere the plants are still too small ior the purpose. Planting peanuts Is underway, and plant Ing rice has made good progress. Gar dens have materially Improved. Out side the region of greatest damago by ball truck crops are doing well;' ship ments of early vegetables of all kinds sre very heavy. Frail trees are apparent ly loaded with fruit, and peaches and apples wlU.be very abundant.
