THE CROPS OF TIE COUNTRY.
The Weather Bureau Makes Its Weekly


Report.
WAsHIEGToN, July b. Especial The
weather crop bulletin, Issued by the signal
office, says:
Reports from the corn and wheat states of
the central valleys Of the northwest, indicate
that the weather during the past week has
been favorable for the growing crops especi-
ally corn, potatoes and grass, which have
doubtless been generally improved by the
recent rains. Reports from Kentucky and Ten
nessee indicate the weather during the past
week has generally improved the condition of
corn and tobacco The staple crops in the
southern states have boon very much improved
by the favorable weather during the past week,
and the late conditions are favorable for cot
ton in South ,Carolina, Alabama and Missis-
sippi, and for cane and rice in Louisiana.
Rains in the middle Atlantic states
during the past week slightly delay
harvest work, and has greatly
improved the conditions Of growing crops,
especially corn and potatoes. In New Eng
land the rainfall and temperature were below
the normal during the week, and the deGcien-
cy in the rainfall will doubtless reduce the
yield in the hay crop. In Tennessee and Ar
kansas local storms and heavy rains injured
the crops III the same section. The harvesting
OF oats and flax in Kansas, wheat in Illinois
and southern Michigan, and Of hay in south
ern Minnesota has generally been attended by
favorable weather.
