WASHINGTON, May 5.-Following is
the latest weather crop bulletin issued
by the signal Office at Washington city.
Temperature.
The past week has been warm in the
northern states, east of the Rocky
mountains, except the northern New
England, while about in normal tenn
perature has prevailed throughout the
southern states and ON the Pacific coast.
The excess of the temperature has been
most marked in the northwest, where,
over the spring wheat region and large
portion Of the winter wheat region, the
daily temperature ranged from five to
ten degrees above the normal for the
week. About the same excess of temper
ature is reported from tho middle AT
lantic states. The temperature for the
season from Jan. / to May / continues
i'll. excess throughout the northern states,
and this excess Is apparently on the in
crease in the principal grain-growing
states. In the cotton region the thermal
conditions for the season are about nor
NAL, the average daily temperature in
that region differing hess than one degree
from that of previous years.
