favorable. except in North Dakota, where
the late crop IS very DoOr and some VIII
not be cut. HARVESTER 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 continues eX-
cellent.
Tho 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 practically complete IN Soutn
Carolina and well advanced in North car
Dina. Considerable blowing for fall seed
