CROP BULLETIN.
Condition of Carolina Crops Ah Reported
by Department of Agriculture 1
Columbia, 8. C., Sept. 251.—The
week ending Monday, September 22,
was decidedly cooler than usual, with
a mean temperature of 66 degrees, a
maximum of 85 degrees at Greenwood
on the 18th, and a minimum of 44
degrees at Greenville on the 15th.
There was a general deficiency in sun
shine, with more cloudiness over the
eastern than over the western half of
the State. The winds were light east
erly to northerly.
Over a large portion of the State,
and the eastern half generally, there
was little or no rain during the week,
while in places over the western half
fairly heavy showers occurred on the
18th and 19th. The rains were gentle
and did not damage open cotton to
any great extent. In the northeast
ern counties there is need of rain for
fall crops and to put the ..round into
condition for fall plowing.
The weather was favorable, on the
whole, for harvesting corn, cotton and
rice and for farm work in general.
Reports on cotton are very full this
week, and cover every section of the
State, and they confirm previous esti
mates of a comparatively short crop.
It appears that the promising condit
ion near the close of June was irre
parably injured by the hot and dry
weather from Jure 28th to July 10th,
which subsequently caused the plants
to shed, rust and blight and to stop
growing, and while some fields in fav
orable localities put on new growth
late in August that has since bloomed
and fruited, the majority of plants
did not fruit well during August, and
most of them apparently died. Cot
ton is from two-tbirds to four-fifths
open, and much of it has been picked ;
indeed some fields have already been
abandoned, but in a number of coun
ties pickers are scarce and there a
smaller perceniage of the crop has
been gathered. The yields are esti
mated below last year’s by a majority
of the correspondents, although in
five counties the yield is estimated
equal to or greater than last year’s.
Frost deferred until late November
will increase the crop materially in
places. Roll worms have appeared
on late, unopened bolls in Barnwell
county. Sea-island cotton is better
than for a number of years, and bears
a fair top crop ; picking well under
way.
Corn is being housed. Minor crops
are doing well. Truck is in a fine
growing condition.
Ont**H Vttlue ton Town.
[Asheville CitUcn.]
Your value to the town in which
you live must be measured by the
work you do. If you have nothing but
criticism and unkind remarks to
make of the town and people therein,
or if you never patronize home Indus
tries but spend your money iu other
towns, you may depend upon it. the
good you will do for those around you
will amount to very little, and you
ought to go forthwith to some place
that you can work for and talk for.
Both the town you leave and the one
you move to would be better for such
a change.
Young Plants
Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
hut some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that’s the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care hut some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, hut because the food
does not feed.
Scott’s Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow—
Scott’s Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

One Idea at a Time.
LAd vertising Ex perience. |
In preparing advertising mutter the
j experience of trained advertising
I writers is that it is well to have be
fore one, in one’s imagination, a sup
posititious individual who is a con
crete representative of the various
classes to which the goods appeal.
Treat this individual as if he were a
customer standing on the opposite
side of the counter, who had to he
convinced that the article shown was
the thing for him to use, the only
thipg. Working on this plan, it is a
comparatively simple matter to pro
duce a series of advertisements that
will be both convincing and interest
ing. Too many advertisers want lo
put all the arguments into one adver
tisement. One idea at a time is a
good plan.
