Hottest Day of Summer.
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.
