WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

PARKERsBURe. w. VA, May ca
The following is the weekly weather
and crop report Of Observer H. w.
Richardson, Of the State weather and
crop bureau:
GENERAL SCNMARY-The weather
conditions existing during the week
were not altogether favorable, although
no great damage 10 crops has as vet
been reported. During the early por-
tion or the week the weather was warm,
dry and sunny, in fact, somewhat
droughtY. While most vegetation was
In good shape to withstand any ordi-
nary condition OF the kind mentioned,
YET all the crops felt the effects. more
or less, OF the dryness existing during
the past two weeks. This has been fol-
lowed by exactly opposite conditions
and since the middle OF the week ex-
cessive rains have fallen in most locali
ties, accompanied by a marked fall in
temperature. Precipitation occurred on
all days from the 18th 10 2lSt inclusive;
those rains occurring on the 18th, 10th
and nth were mostly light and at seat
tered points over the State, while oa the
other dates the rains were general, aud
storm on the 18th was markedly severe
and was accompanied By heavy wind
and a considerable fall Of rain and hail.
Many houses were unrOofed, fences and
trees blown down, but as yet no especial
damage has been reported as having &C.
Cured TO crops. The rivers, however,
are rising and the probabilities are al
this writing that crops on the lOwlands
ad jacent 10 the OHIO river are in some
danger. The rains have been, as 4 rule,
beneficial 10 all vegetation. The ground
Is well soaked, although in some places
it has become packed by reason OF the
heavy rains.
CEREALS AND GRASSES. is
mostly in head aud in foe condition
generally; straw will be little short
but the heads are Of good length. Oats
showing signs of Improvement but are
not in very satisfactory condition.
Corn on stiff clay soil has not done very
well; the crop, with but a few excep-
tions, is all planted, and in all lOcali
ties, except on the soil mentioned, is
coming along nicely and is being work
ed; il IS feared that the cool weather Of
the past few days may check its growth.
Meadows and pastures are greatly i'm
proved.
VEGETABLEs-Rains were very op-
perfume and will undoubtedly freShen
up gardens considerably, IL is hoped
the hail on the 10th and 18th, together
with the heavy rains and wind storms,
will not prove injurious. Potatoes are
being worked, much Improvement made
since last week, the dTOuth having
thinned down the plants somewhat.
Potato bugs, cut and Currant worms
and cateIpiliars are numerous.
FRUIT-Fruit Of all kinds still falling
badly. Biackberries full of blossom.
Raspberries promising. Fair prospect
for small fruits, late apples and sour
cherries. Strawberries are ripening
earlier than usual; a good crop is eX
pected. Grapes are very promising.
TOBACCO-A5out ready TO be set.
The soaking rains will put the ground
In excellent condition for planting
