WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
or the West Virginia Section OF the Ma.
tlonnl Weather Burcau.


PARKERSBURG. W. Va. June So
Following Is the weekly weather crop
bulletin Issued by Director II. L. Ball.
OF the West Virginia section:
The temperature during the past
week WAS below the normal nearly cv-
cry day, Owing to the high percentage
OF moisture In the air. the first half OF
the week was more than usually sultry
n muggy. During the last half Of
the week the abr became drler and felt
cooler. but little change in temperature
occurred.
Rains were general on Tuesday, We'd
neSduy and Thursday. These We're from
thunder showers and in some localities
were very heavy. Notably the storm OF
Wednesday afternoon In the Ohio val
ley below Sistcrsvillc. whch caused
great damage by floods and waShoutS.
After Wednesday very little rain &C.
CURED. except from passing showers.
Very little sunshine was received until
the latter part OF the week, when the
sky cleared and several days followed
with rather more than the usual
noun of sunshine.
Effect Of the Crops.-Thc weeks
weather has been unfavorablc to crop
growth and farm work. The frequent
rains during the carly part of the week
delayed harvesting and prevented work
in corn fields. Some wheat has bscn
damaged in shock, but the damage does
not appear TO be great and Is confined
to those localities where heavy storms
occurred. Nearly the whole OF tn. crop
has been harvested, except in the noun
4 sections. where some Is yet stand
ing. Reports generally show that the
crop Is light and that the harvest Is
from n to two weeks earlier than
usual.
The corn crop is growing very rapidly
and Is coming into taEsle. The fields are
very wecdy and need working. but be-
yond this the crop Is In excellent con-
dillon and most promising.
Clover cutting has been delayed by
the wet weather. but the crop appears
to be uninjurcd. Other hay crops ARE
doing well. The oat harvest will begin
soon. This crop IS generally reported
very good. hut IN danger II wet weather
continues rs the grain has begun to fall,
in some places very badly US the straw
Is heavy.
The potato crop Is In excellent condi-
ton and promises an unusually large
yield. Other garden crops are In equally
good condition.
Fruit OF all kinds is plentiful. and
The peach crop Is said to be the largest
In many years. Some correspondents
say grapes are r0ttlng. but express the
opinion that with moro sunshine and
drier weather, the crop will yet be
large.
Correspondents are urgently request
