ing May 10 was issued this evening. It
reports crop and weather conditions

The temperature for the past seven
days has continued below normal, with
quite cool weather during the larger
part of the week. The temperature
FOR the season from January l to
date continues in excess of normal.
Very little rain has fallen during the
week, except in the vicinity of Long
view, where It was quite ex-
cessive. Precipitation for the sea-
son continues considerably IN excess
of normal in all portions of the state.
The weather generolly has been very IA
vorable for farming, as there was very
little rain, with abundance of sun
shine. The only drawback was
cool weather, which has re-
tarded cotton which was still standing

some localities is being injured by rust.

planted. With continued fair, warmer
weather farmers will soon be up with
