WErSI.V CROP 3UIETIN. A Poor \\\ck for Growth?Low j Temperatures. The week ending Monday. April 22. ; had nearly no: aval temperature un.il j the last two days which were oe- j tween 20 and 23 degrees colder than usual. and had minimum temperatures low enough foi severe frosts that were averteu uy uie rainy ainu tiuui..* weather, that prevailed. Tac.e w:s n:uch sunshine and dry weather until Thursday right when a , warm rain set in that continued through Friday and Saturday, but en the latter day the failing temperate, e made the cain chilling, and over the western counties the precipitation was at times in the form of hail, snow tnd sler t. Snow flurries were observed ^ s far eastward as the central counties. The I'.oeij'itation was heavy over a large portion ; * '.he State, amounting to bo;w? n throe and four inches in many localities, and did damage by packing plowed lands ard washing gullies in terraces, while freshets occurred in many streams floodinc bottom lands. Over ohe ebutheartern counties the rain was needed and proved beneficial. Farm work made rapid progress where upland corn and cotton planting is practically finished and tobacco was largely trans piantea uaucr iavorauie iua n tlons although The plants are small; rice planting a'so made rapid progress, except in the Georgetown district where freshets and high tides broke the river banks and flooded the fields preventing planting. In this section, corn and cotton are coming i up.but germination is slow and stands erne-ally poor, but with exception, necessitating much replanting. Corn is receiving its first cultivation in the f or m counties, and oats ace heading.There, too. truck and gardens and mirJ:r crops generally, are doing well, and farm work !s as far advanced as usual to the season. In the cen rail ar. l western counties. or.d pirticula ly in the North Carolina border counties, the conditions were less favorable, and. although much upland corn and some i cot en has ben planted very little is i up as the ground hr-s been too wet and ! roi l for favorable germinaitlion, an<l| stands or such crops that are up, are peer. The ground was fit to plow, over the wertc-n hi If of the Stare. on from 2 to 4 days only, and the recent! rains will still further delay farm work on uplands, while bottom iands will be too we: fcr a ion? lime. Some plowed lands l ave been so packed by the heavy ruins that they will have to be plowed again to fit them for planting. ! The heavy rains have seemingly im- ! proved wheat, but oats were damaged In places by too much rain, although j the crop r_s a whole remains very t promising. Colorr -'o beetles are wide- J ly prevalent on white potatoes. Peach- j es promise less than a full crop in j Lexiacun art l Flg'.leld counties, and; In localities elsewhere, otburwice they I tarc very p-oar.'hire. App'e and cherry trees ate in full blccm. Sunshine and I warmer weather are needed for all crrcps. Through a *1 resile. Black.-hurg.
