Too Much Rain In Some Localities
and Not Enough In Others.

Too Much Rain In Some Localities
and Not Enough In Others.
The latest Government crop report says;
The weather in the grain regions OF the
Northwest has been generally favorable to
growing crops, and conditions have improved
in the Upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys
and in Michigan, although heavy local rains
in Mis- ,ouri are reported to have injured
wheat and delayed harvesting.
An excess of rain is reported from Arkan-
eas. Louisiana and Mississippi, which has
haer, unfavorable to the cotton crops. In
Tho vest portion OF the cotton region less rain
and clear weather would, doubtless benefit
the growing crops, while in the east portion,
of the cotton region, including Alabama and
North and South Carolina, the weather has
been favorable for all crops.
In Ohio, Indiana and Connecticut more
rain is needed, while generally throughout
the Middle Atlantic and New England States
the weather of the past week has improved
the crop conditions.
Harvesting is in progress in Tennessee and
Kentucky, where the weather conditions nave
been favorable for wheat and corn, but un-
favorable for grass.
