GALVESTON, June 25-The weekly wealth
er and crop bulletin service was issued this
evening for the week ending, June rs. 1t
gives the temperature and crop prospect as
follows: The temperature during the past
seven days has averaged about normal.
Rainfall for the week has been below nor
NAL; light showers have greatly benefited
crops. Corn not already made would, with
good rain, make an excellent crop, except
in few localities. Cotton is generally re-
ported as doing WELL and not suffering for
rain, yet 1t would be benefited in some 10
calities while in a few rain would be injuri-
Gus. Gardens are suffering, particularly
along the southeast coast. Threshing is
progressing rapidly over the northwest part
of the state.
