Corn is Not Suffering, But . Good Rain
Would be Welcome.
Oklahoma City. o. T., July 14.-Fol-
lowing is the Oklahoma weather crop
bulletin for the week ending Monday,
July II:
The weather continued generally no:
and dry until Saturday, when the wind
changed TO the north. bringing much
cooler weather and local showers.
With the exception of the western Sec
tons, where comparatively heavy rains
occurred during the first of the week,
droutny conditions generally prevail.
The local showers during Saturday and
Sunday did much good to corn, but the
areas over which they fell were limited
and the need of a heavy general rain is
becoming more apparent every day.
The average temperature for the
week, S12 degrees, is 16 degrees above
normal.
Early upland corn is needing rain bad
ly; late corn continues to grow and
shows healthy color.
Cotton is making a fine growth, sohw-
ing improvement daily.
Haymakng and threshing are the
principal work being done. Hay is good
but pastures are beginning TO show the
effect Of the drouth.
There is some complaint ina. the heat
is affecting unfavorably late peaches and
vineyards. causing fruit TO wilt and fall,
but as the trees and vines are generally
overloaded this may in the end prove
beneficial
