GUS Injury TO the crops Small grains and
grass are in danger. owing to the absence
of rain from Tennessee northward to the
upper lake region and Minnesota
Although more rain is needed in the Da-
kOtas, Nebraska and Kansas, the weather
during the past week has been more favOra-
bic and the frosted wheat is recovering, but
it was probably somewhat injured by frost
last night. Favorable reports have also
been received from Missouri and Colorado.
Reports from Kansas state that the fly and
chinch bugs are damaging wheat in places.
In Oregon the wheat prospects were never
better. Fruit is doing well. In California
the cool weather has greatly benefited the
growing croTs. while retarding the rapid
ripenng of fruit. Hay-cuttng is in prog
reSs through the State, but curing has been
retarded by partly cloudy weather.
