GALVESTON, TEX, March 1O.-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin of the Texas
state weather service was issued tonight
for the week ending March TO- 1t is as
follows:
The rainfall during the past seven days
has been about the average over Southern
Texas, and excessive over other portions Of
the state.
The temperature has been about normal
over the Northern portion of the state and
generally slightly below normal over West
ern Texas.
The sunshine has been generally about an
average.
The weather has been very favorable foS
farming interests and work Is being
pushed rapidly. All corn land and
great deal Of cotton land had
the month and considerable corn had been
planted over the southern portion of the
state, which is large enough in some
localities to plow. Tie outlook is
for a much larger corn crop than in
any previous year, partly on account OF the
failure from drouth to get in full crop Of
wheat last fall over Northwest Texas and
on account Of the low prices of cotton, a
great deal of cotton land will be
planted in corn. A great many
localities report that the acreage planted in
cotton this season will be from one-siXth to
one-fourth less than last years. Some
cotton has been planted over the southern
portion Of the state, and in case the weather
continues warm q great deal will be
planted next week.
The oat crop is much larger than usual
and is very promising.
Fruit trees are in bloom generally over
the southern portion of the state and
chances of frost cause great deal Of IN
easiness about the crop, but the damage
from frost is not likely TO be great.
Strawberries and early vegetables are
coming on the market, and the outlook for
these crops is very promising.
From all appearances, there will be con-
siderable rice planted over the eastern por-
ton of the coast region. Pasturage is i'm
proving.
