Cool nightsthe first. few days of the week broughtthe mean temperature slightly belowthe normal, but the last five days werewarm, bringing the average for theweek about tour degrees per day abovethe normal. Fine seasons occurred near-ly everywhere on May Ist and 2d, thelargest amounts exceeding an inch alongthe central portion of the State. Thegeneral prospects are now very favora-ble indeed, and farmers are working ingood spirits.EASTERN District.Reports are nearly all quite favorablefor this District ; very few places did notshare in the beneficial showers of May[st and 2d, and the conditions have beenfine, both for farm work and for grow-ing crops. Cotton-planting continues,but approaching completion ; much hascome up with promising stand and looksvigorous; some being chopped. Cornstand tair, with fine green color andgrowing 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 begeneral during next two weeks. Gar-der.s, wheat and oats have improved ;Irish potatoes look fresh and promis-ing; sweet potatoes have. sproutednicely and a few have been set out.Large shipments of berries and peas tothe North.CenzRAL District.Quite heavy rains occurred in a fewcentral counties, washing lands to sumeextent ; in others the weather continuestoo dry. Planting late corn~is going onvigorously ; corn is quite large for theseason. Cotton has not come up quiteas well as hoped for, but the good sea-sons at the end of the week will improvethe stand. Wheat looks well but isheading low ; spring oats bave improved;rye has rusted some. Sweet potatoeshave sprouted well. Transplanting to-bacco vommenced to be pushed in a fewcounties the last of the week, which in-dicates advanced growth of plants.Many reports still received of damageay potato-bugs, bud and cut-worms incorn and insects on tobacco, but therainy weather will diminish thesepests.Western District.| Showers which occurred throughoutthe District on the last three days of thecame in time to prevent any seriousdamage which had been threatened bydrought.
