Yesterday where only lG5 gallons OF

TIE PAST WEEK UNAVOIDABLE.
Crops Needed Rain Badly, and Suf-
fered Accordingly.

The following is the weekly crop report
of the Virginia section Of the United
States Department of Agriculture:
Reports OF the correspondents Of the
Virginia Climate and Crop Service for
the past week show that the droughty
weather which prevails has been very
unfavorable In its effects on all vegeta-
ton. In almost every portion of the State
no DIN OF any consequence has fallen
for some time. This has had the effect of
injurng crops, which have heretofore
been suffering for rain, and caused
firing in tobacco and corn-burning.
Tobacco is reported as doing fairly well,
but many complaints Of firing are
made.
Pasturage is showing the need Of rain.
and many reports show them TO be in bad
condition, and in some localities show
effects on stock.
Some late corn is reported a failure.
Peanuts. pastures, gardens, and turnips
are failing.
But lIte following is being done;
ground too hard and dry.
good, soaking rain is badly needed
throughout the State.

Dickinson says he can prove an ahpi'
