GOOD GROWING WEATHER.
The Weather During the Past Week Was
Generally Favorable to Growing Crops.

The Weather During the Past Week Was
Generally Favorable to Growing Crops.
WASHINGTON April 21.-Weather crop bull
letin for the week ending Saturday, April 20,
1889: The week ending Friday night, April
10, has been warmer than usual in all districts,
except in the south Atlantic and eastern Gulf
states, where the daily temperature was about
three degrees below the mean for the week. In
the grain regions of the central valleys and
from Texas northward TO Dakota the daily tenn
perature for the week ranged from three de-
grees TO six degrees above the average for the
season. In the Ohio and Mississippi valleys
and the middle Atlantic states the season is
slightly in advance, while in the northwest it
is from FIVE to ten days, and in Dakota from
ten TO twenty days earlier than usual.
The rainfall during the week has been largely
in excess over the southern portion of the
United States, including the entire cotton
region from Texas to the Atlantic coast. Ex-
cessive rainfall is also reported generally over
the states of the Missouri and central Missis-
sippi valleys. including the greater portion of
Dakota, western Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana. Timely rains are reported from Ken
lucky, Michigan and Wisconsin, and along the
Atlantic coast from Virginia to Maine while
there was almost total absence of rain in north
ern New York and the lower lake region, but
showers are reported in this section yesterday.
Inc seasonal denclency In rainfall IN the states
OF the Mississippi valley has been generally
reduced by recent rains, but there is large
deficiency in moisture in the central Ohio val
ley where the rainfall of the season has been
less than one-half OF the usual amount.
The weather during the week has been gen.
orally favorable for growing crops in all sec
tions. Drought conditions were succeeded by
rains in the Ohio valley where the crops are
reported as greatly improved, but more rain is
needed in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. Gen
orally throughout the winter and spring wheat
states warm weather with excessive sunshine
and timely rains improved the conditions of
wheat grass and oats, which are reported as
growing rapidly. Flowing and seeding are
nearly completed in the extreme north portion
of Minnesota. Excessive rains in southeastern
Kansas were doubtless unfavorable to corn and
some damage from hail is reported from west
ern Tennessee. Fruit crop in all sections was
improved and is generally in fine condition.
