FAVORABLE TO GROWING CROPS
throughout the corn and wheat regions
of the central valleys, extending from
Tennessee northward to the lakes, and
from Pennsylvania westward to Kansas,
Nebraska and Dakota. The crops are re-
ported as improved in the spring wheat
region of Dakota and Minnesota. where
harvesting is in progress in the southern
counties. The weather has been favor
able for harvesting in the winter wheat
belt, and the work of securing the crop
is well advanced, the reports indicating
an average yield. Reports from all corn
producing states indicate that the crop,
which is in fine condition, was greatly
improved. This applies not only to the
principal corn-producing states OF
the North, but to Kentucky, Ten
nesSee and Alabama. Extensive rains
in the Southwest have injured
crops, especially cotton in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Eastern Arkansas and pOr-
tons of Texas. In the last-named state

and some wheat were injured by previ
Gus rains: all other crops are doing
well. Reports from Iowa show that the
weather of the past two weeks has
greatly improved the hay crop in thai
section, and the yield is better than was
anticipated during June. A late report
from Nebraska states that the weather
