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.

DECREASE IN MNSIONEI&
State Hoard Has Completed Its La
bjrs For the Year.
The State pension Ix ard has at last
completed its labois for the year 13-1
and adjourned, livery application has
been most carefully gone over and
considered. and the reiult of the operation
cf the new act has les-n to most
materially reduce the number of
names upon the lists. One source of
ir-ti:ft?r.n is found ::i the fact that
the new j ensicn law only allows pensions
to widows of soldiers actually
killed in service, and widows who
have reached the age of CO years. This
statement shows the figures for last
year as compared to those of this
year:
