WAsHINGToN, June 22.-The week
ending June % has been slightly warmer
than usual generally throughout all
agricultural regions east of Mis-
sissippi, in the central portions
OF Nebraska and Kansas and on
Texas, and thence nOrthWard to Mime
sofa and Dakota, the average temper
allure for the week has been slightly
below the normal except as stated,
also in portions of Kansas and Ne
braska. The temperature for the sea-
son from Jan. l to June % diff
fers but slightly from the normal
throughout the Southern states, and the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys. The av-
erage daily temperature has been from
2 to deg, above the normal in New
England, New York and from Texas
northward to Dakoua. There has been
an excess of rain fall for the week

well-distributed showers occurred in the
south Atlantic states, Virginia, New
England, Minnesota and Dakota.
The rainfall for the season continues in
excess on the Atlantic coast from New
York southwark to South Carolina, and
from the Missouri valley southwark to
the west gulf coast. The large de-
ficiency in rainfall previously reported
from the Ohio valley and Tennessee
has been reduced, and at pres
ent the rainfall in this section
generally exceeds 20 per cent of the
normal. but in Southern Ohio about 60
per cent of the usual rainfall has oc-
CURED, while in the n 'rthern portions
of all the states bordering on the Ohio
river, and in Michigan and Wis
consin over 50 per cent of
the normal rainfall is reported.
In Northwestern Minnesota and North
Eastern Dakota the rainfall for the sea-
usual rainfall for that section. The
weather was generally favorable for
growing crops in all districts except
Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas,
where excessive rains caused some
damage to wheat and cotton. Re-
ports from these states show that
the crops are growing rapidly and be-
coming grassy. In the spring wheat
region of Minnesota and Dakota all
crops were improved by recent rains.
In the principal corn states. including
Illinois. Indiana. Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska, the weather was favorable,
and corn has made rapid growth dur
ing the. week. In Michigan and Ohio
the growth Of corn has been retarded
owing to continued wet weather. The
harvesting of wheat, barley and clover
trail portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illl-
frequent rains. and in some sections
harvested crops slightly injured by
rains. Reports from Kentucky state
tina THE tobacco crop is excellent. The
high temperature and general rains in
Louisiana were very favorable. and
doubtless greatly improved the corn,
cane and rice crops. In the east and
central portions of the cotton region,
all crops are favorably affected; the
wheat harvest is about completed,
and the crop prospects are re-
ported fine. In Pennsylvania the heavy
rains were unfavorable for ripening
grain and hay harvesting, although the
crop conditions are rapidly improving.
All crops were improved in New En-
gland, New York and New Jersey, al
though corn is reported as backward in
New York. Numerous showers have
slightly delayed the harvesting of the
heavy hay crop in Southern New En-
gland and the middle Atlantic states.
