Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The past week has been slightly
cooler than the normal on the
western slope, but east of the
mountains, Notwithstanding cooler
nights, the temperature has aver
aged fully as high as during the
preceding week, making the third
week in succession with con-
siderable excess of heat. The ex-
cess has averaged S degrees a day
in the vicinity OF Denver, 6 de-
grees in the southern counties,
and 7 degrees along the northern
and eastern borders. Beneficial
rains have fallen in the western
counties and in parts of Larimer
county; elsewhere there has been
either no rainfall or so little as to
be valueless.
The drought having remained
unbroken east Of the mountains
crops are suffering, and the lack oi
water for irrigation IS being fel,
even in the heretofore more la
vored sections. Corn is drying up
on non-irrigated lands. and unless
rain comes soon the crop will fall
considerably below the average in
yield and quality; cutting is under
way along the divide. The hot
dry weather has also been gener-
ally unfavorable to potatoes, and
the majority of the reports indi-
cate that the crop will be some

what reduced; an average crop,
however, is expected in parts Of
the north central and south. central
sections. The third cutting OF al
faIfa will be light, and it is rather
doubtful whether a fourth cutting
will be obtained in the Arkansas
valley, owing to scarcity OF water.
Harvesting of wheat and oats is
still under way in San Luis Park.
Reports from the south-ceutral
counties indicate that the season,
as a whole, has been very favor
able. Fall apples are ripe, and a
good crop is generally reported.
Late peaches will be a very good
crop in Garfield county. Large
shipments of cantaloupes continue.
The report from Otero county
says Il is very dry and water scarce.
The third crop OF alfalfa will be
n.,r.hai; cantaloupes ripening rap
idly. The thermometer registered
as degrees yesterday at noon.

that there is place called La
