weather bureau in its report of
weather and crop conditions for the
week ending June Is says: The week
ending June Is has been much warmer
than usual from New England west
ward over the lake region, the Ohio
and upper Mississippi valleys and the
Dakotas. About the normal tempera.
ture prevailed from New York south
ward to Florida and generally
throughout the southern states, but it
was slightly cooler than usual in
| the immediate coast. 1t was
also cooler than usual through
out the Rocky mountains and
Plateau districts and over the
greater portion of the Pacific coast.
More than the usual amount of rain
fell in Texas and over the greater
portions of Kansas, Nebraska, Michj-
gan and New York. Small areas of
excessive rains were also reported in
the East gulf states, South Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Da-
kota. The drouth previously reported
in the Northwestern states has been
broken by recent rains, but more gen.
eral crops have been permanently in
jUred. Drouth has been partially re-
lieved in South Carolina and Georgia,
but along the Sodth Atlantic coast,
south of Hatteras and in Flor
ida and Southern Georgia

impaired on account of absence of
rain. Ia Kentucky tobacco plants
are dying from the effects of the grow
ing heat, but conditions are favorable
for rain in that section today and to
morrow. Light showers occurred in
Northern California, Oregon and Mon
tana and crops on the Pacific coast
were improved, but sunshine and dry
