Weekly Crop Bulletin.
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Crop Bulletin, issued by the
North Carolina Section, for the week
ending Saturday, May 2d, 1896, indi-
cate very favorable conditions, both for
work and growth of crops. Cool nights
the first. few days of the week brought
the mean temperature slightly below
the normal, but the last five days were
warm, bringing the average for the
week about tour degrees per day above
the normal. Fine seasons occurred near-
ly everywhere on May Ist and 2d, the
largest amounts exceeding an inch along
the central portion of the State. The
general prospects are now very favora-
ble indeed, and farmers are working in
good spirits.
EASTERN District.
Reports are nearly all quite favorable
for this District ; very few places did not
share in the beneficial showers of May
[st and 2d, and the conditions have been
fine, both for farm work and for grow-
ing crops. Cotton-planting continues,
but approaching completion ; much has
come up with promising stand and looks
vigorous; some being chopped. Corn
stand tair, with fine green color and
growing rapidly ; but little was prevent-
ed from coming up by previous drought ;
some little damage by cut-worms re-
ported. Setting out tcbacco plants pro-
gressing, and planting pea-nuts will be
general during next two weeks. Gar-
der.s, wheat and oats have improved ;
Irish potatoes look fresh and promis-
ing; sweet potatoes have. sprouted
nicely and a few have been set out.
Large shipments of berries and peas to
the North.
CenzRAL District.
Quite heavy rains occurred in a few
central counties, washing lands to sume
extent ; in others the weather continues
too dry. Planting late corn~is going on
vigorously ; corn is quite large for the
season. Cotton has not come up quite
as well as hoped for, but the good sea-
sons at the end of the week will improve
the stand. Wheat looks well but is
heading low ; spring oats bave improved;
rye has rusted some. Sweet potatoes
have sprouted well. Transplanting to-
bacco vommenced to be pushed in a few
counties the last of the week, which in-
dicates advanced growth of plants.
Many reports still received of damage
ay potato-bugs, bud and cut-worms in
corn and insects on tobacco, but the
rainy weather will diminish these
pests.
Western District.
| Showers which occurred throughout
the District on the last three days of the
came in time to prevent any serious
damage which had been threatened by
drought. There seems to have been
er, but everything was greatly benefited
by rains Coftonis. up with good stand

that is to be thrust through the
t at the back ofthe head, letting the
~cherries droop slightly just above au:l
behind the ear. Fruit in the hair, how-
ever, under any guise of enamel an/
metal, is not to be commended. Its
incongruity is obvious. We have ac-
cepted it on our bonnets, where its use
~is less distasteful than the plumage of
murdered birds, but in the coiffure the
association is not acceptable. French
women regard their hair ornamenis
-with great attention and take as much
care to suitably complete the coiffur« |:
toilet as that.of the corsage. Steel, jeT.
gilt and silver ornaments are especially
suited to dark hair. Fair-haired womeu
could wear amber and clear tortoise
shell. For.evening wear, jeweled orna-
ments are properly much worn. Ex-
cept against a beautiful neck there is
no part of a womanTs toilet where gems
may be so well displayed as in the hair.
St. Louis. Republic, |
: Smali Fruit Salad, |
The salad is made by stripping the
fruit from the stalks and piling it high
on a dish and sprinkling it over with
powdered sugar. This may be done
with strawberries, raspberries, currants
or any small fruits mixed. After theT
sugar is well dissolved, cover over all
six large tablespoons of wine or brandy,
or three tablespoons of. liquor, and
when the flavor is all that is desired, 1
little powdered cinnamon should be
added. In keeping to this salad, th
fruit should be lightly stirred, so that
wine and sugar should be equally dis-
tributed. Any of these fruits can be
made into a palatable dish separately
or together, as taste Sieve Rosier
Globe.
Appullingty Near.
Our fair city came appallingly near
lying im ruins last night.
_& fire; broke out; in an ash barrel in
the rear of the residence of our fellow-
townsman, Mr. Balaam B. Binns, and
had: it not been for-the fact that the
ash barrel was situated. about: 100 feet
from any. other building and that there
was no wind blowing, and it was rain-
ing, and had not Mr. Binns discovered
the fire and putit out in its incipiency, |
it might have been our sad duty to-day
to record a frightful conflagration such
as the city has never known and such.
48 we pray heaven it may never know. |
