states and central valley ranging from
30 to So below the mean for the

son, from January l to June So. con-
tinues lelow the normal throughout the
northern states. tie greatest deficiency be-
ing in the wheat region o. the northwest
where the daily temperature for the FIRST
half of the year ranges from So 10 30 below
the normal. This de GCiency in temperatl1re
has apparently retarded the season from
two to three weeks in that section The
season is about one week late in New Fnr-
land and the middle Atlantic states, but II
is well advanced in all other sections.
Rainfall-There has been an eycess of
rainfall during the week generally
throughout all agricultural districts. eX-
cept IN portions Of the cotton region and in
the upper Mississippi valley, and in these
sections well distributed rains are reDort
ed. The greatest rainfall occurred over
the tobacco regions Of Tennessee and Ken
lucky and northern Georgia, Kansas
western Missouri and the west portion of
New York, Pennsylvania and east Virgin
ia, where the rainfall for the week was
double the usual amount. The rainfall
Tor the season has been greater than usual
IN the upper Mississippi and lower Mis-
souri, valleys, in Texas and the southern
portion of the cotton region, and in New
ork. pennsylvania and the interior OF
New England. The heavy rainfalls over
the tobacco region of the Ohio valley and
Tennessee during the past week materially
the large seasonal deficiency
in that section. Along the gulf coast and
in Texas the rainfall IS generally from
six to ten inches IN excess of
the usual amount. IN Florida and the
northern portions of Mississippi and
Louisiana the deficiency in rainfall for the
season ranges from SIX TO ten inches or
from SO to 40 per cent of the normal raiu
fall.
General remarks-The weather during
the past week has been favorable for ali
growing crops III the wheat. corn and
tobacco regions OF Ohio. the upper Missis-
sippi and Missouri valleys and tennessee
heavy rains doubtless interfered with
harvesting from Missouri eastward TO
lrglula, and the continuous cloudy
weather over Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas is reported as having been
unfayoraole 10 the cotton plant. but i'm
provement is reported IN that section dur
ing the latter portion OF the week. In
North Carolina, South Carolina and Geoy-
gla the weather was favorable, and all
crops were doubtless improved during the
week. Reports from the interior and mid
die states indicate that the recent heavy
hams have been very beneficial 10 growing
crops. Tie weather for the season has
been unusually favorable for hay in New
England and tor wheat in Kentucky and
Tennessee.
