The Weather Bureau In it's report of
crop conditions for the week just
ended:
Drought has been broken in Iowa and
partly relieved in Wisconsin and South
ern Minnesota, but continues in Ohio
and with great severity over the south
ern half of Michigan. Excessive rains
have delayed threshinR in Missouri,
Northern Texas, Kentucky and
Tennessee, and caused grain in shock
to sprout. Cotton has been injured by
too much rain in the lowlands Of South
ern Missouri, Arkansas and Northern
Texas. and has suffered to some extent |
in Oklahoma and Tennessee, Georgia, |
Alabama and Mississippi report i'm |
provement over the previous week in
the condition of cotton while in North |
the crop continues in poor con-
dition. In Southern Texas rain would |
prove beneficial.
Corn needs rain in Ohio, Northern |
Indiana, Southern Michigan, Wisconsin
and South Dakota, and would be i'm
proved by rain in Nebraska, where the |
blades are beginning to roll. In the |
Southern States the finest crop of corn
for years is promised.
The outlook for tobacco in Maryland |
is excellent, and in Kentucky the crop
is improving rapidly; it is doing well
IN Tennessee and Missouri, and is being
,ut in the Carolinas.
