WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
Condition of Corn, Cotton, Wheat,
and Tobacco.

WASHINGTON, August S.-The weekly
review of the Weather Bureau, issued
to-day, says: The weeks weather has
been generally favorable in the South
Atlantic and Eastern Gulf States, and
in the Southern Ohio and Upper Missis-
sippi valleys and Upper Lake region, but
in New England and over the greater
part OF the Middle Atlantic States in
Guiding Western New York and portions
of the Upper Ohio Valley. II has been
too wet. while the States OF the Lower
Missouri Valley have suffered seriously
from hot and dry winds Drought pre-
walls over the greater part Of Texas, and
in portions Of Arkansas, Tennessee, and
Louisiana. The conditions on the Pacific
coast have continued favorable.
Much injury has been caused by heavy
rains to the hay crops i'm New England
and portions Of the Middle Atlantic
States. In the States Of the Central val
leys corn has generally made favorable
progress, except in portions of Kansas,
Texas, and west Of the Missouri, where
it has been injured by hot winds and the
general absence Of rain. The crop is also
suffering from drought in Texas and por-
tions of Arkansas and Louisiana, while I'm
New England and the northern portions
of the Middle Atlantic States it. has been
unfavorably affected by excessive mois-
ture and insufficient sunshine. In the
States of the Ohio and Upper Mississippi
valleys and the Lake region the reports
indicate that corn has made rapid growth
during the week. and very favorable re-
ports, especially with reference to late
corn. are received from the South At
lantic and East Gulf States, with the ex-
ception Of Florida.
Cotton has continued to make favorablN
progress over the central and eastern
portions OF the cotton belt. but In Mis-
souri,, Texas. and portions of Louisiana
and Arkansas, it continues TO suffer from
drought. In Texas, however, the crop
is withstanding the effects Of drought
better than was anticipated, but Is OPEN
ing prematurely. and shedding especially
on uplands. Picking is progressing
rapidly in Southern Texas, and has be-
gun over the central part Of the State
and in Georgia.
Reports as to spring wheat are gene
rally favorable, except IN North Dakota,
where the late crop is very poor, and
some will not be cut. Harvesting is well
under way over the southern portion OF
the spring-wheat region, and has begun
in portions of the northern sections. The
outlook in Washington and Oregon con-
tinues excellent.
The outlook for tobacco in Tennessee
continues poor but the crop in Kentucky
is considerably improved. Elsewhere, the
general outlook is favorable, although
some injury has resulted from excessive
rains in Maryland and South Pennsyl-
vania and New England. Cutting Is prac-
tically complete in South Carolina, and
well advanced in North Carolina. Con-
siderable ploughing for fall seeding has
been done in Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee,
and Virginia.
