GALVESTON, GALVESTON COUNTY, Sept.
24.-The Texas state weather service issued
their weekly weather and crop report for
the week ending September "a tonight. 1t
gives the temperature, rainfall and crop
conditions throughout the state as follows; ;
The rainfall has been excessive over many
localities along the coast and generally
slightly deficient in other portions of the
state, although most localities have had
showers. The temperature has been
slightly in excess of normal over few
localities in Central, Southwest Texas and
along the coast. In other portions it has
been generally below normal the tempera-
tureohaying been greatest in East Texas.
The sunshine has been about the average
except slightly deficient along the coast.
Cotton picking continues TO progress rap
idly, although interrupted in some locali-
ties by rain. The rainfall has been gen.
orally beneficial, ana the prospects for a
heavier yield have improved, although the
excessive rains in few localities along the
coast will probably lower the grade of cot
ton. In the fields heavier rains are needed
to put the ground in proper condition for
plOwing.
