Yesterday (Saturday) was the ttest day of the year in Charto and one of the very hottest the 37 years' history of the al United States weather bu m, said Sunday's Observer, rhe thermometer on the top of 11 ! Commercial building, 150j1 t above the street, registered I 1 decrees in the shade at 3:30 I lock. Near the street, within [>r 40 feet of the ground, stan- ? d instruments recorded 103.5 j I 104 degrees in the shade. I :al Forecaster O. O. Atto said t the margin of difference be- ^ ten the new location of the ither bureau instruments and j ( t of the old site on the second ' Tin i floor of the postoffice building is f from two to three decrees. On , this basis, had it occupied its accustomed place at the United States postoffice, it would have ? ? ? - icftiaicxeu approximately 103 degrees. The hottest previous days J of the summer were Friday when 97 was registered and July 15. when 97.1 was recorded. But yesterday's registration with 1UU | degrees on top of the Commer| cial building and far above the accumulated heat force of the city streets and buildings will doubtless stand for some time as j the record. A Suggestion for Farmers. Fodder pulling time is close at ! J * tianu (iiiu we Know that the worms have damaged the corn considerably. We know also that the dry weather has reduced it, but do we know that pulling fodder will reduce the yield of corn 10 to 25 per cent? This is a fact worth considering. It has been proved year after year by careful experimental tests by the best farmers of this State?notably by Mr. D. R. Coker, of Hartsvilie. Now, die above being a fact, the 10 to 25 per cent, saved by I proper methods of harvesting will go a long way toward fattening our hogs. There are several good ways of harvesting the crop which can be settled by the farmer, according to his conditions, labor and fancy. I would only suggest that we allow our corn to fully mature and get that 10 to 25 per cent, extra yield. We need it. K. F. Nims. Fort Mill, Aug. 2.
