I am sure you will need a little bending, as well as some mending and somebody to follow you, especially when you are out late at night. I am equally sure that you are useless without the other.

The week ending May 22d averaged nearly 8 degrees per day warmer than usual, with an absolute range of temperature between a maximum of 99 and a minimum ot 47 degrees. The rainfall for the week came in the form of scattered showers on the 1 Sth. with no rain over a large portion of the State, and .generally very light except in 9 portions of York county, where a heavy shower occurred. Showery conditions prevailed at the close of the week over the entire State, with heavy rains in some of the western counties, that will partially relieve the existing drought. The dry weather was favorable lor cultivation, and crops are generally free from grass and weeds. Iu places the ground is too hard to work. Late planted corn is coming up slowly, stands are irregular, and damaged in localities by worms; bottom lands are being planted where the soil is fit to plow. Cotton that is up has not been hurt by the drought, but late planted cotton is not coming up well; considerable remains to be planted as soon as the lands can be prepared. Stands are generally full and healthy but small. Sea island cotton is in very ' d condition. Wheat is heading low and ripening prematurely in places, on account of the drought, and in places the yield will he but half an average crop. Oats have been severely damaged by the lack of moisture when heading, and spring sown oats are reported a partial or complete failure; fall sown oats will also make a poor crop. Harvesting has begun. Tobacco needs rain both to maintain stands and to finish transplanting; bugs and grasshoppers have injured the plants in a number of counties. Rico is generally doing well, and preparations are well advanced for late or Juno plantings. Few sweet potato slips have been set out. Irish potatoes need rain, and Colorado beetles are very destructive. Cano and melons are doing well. Pastures and gardens are failing.
