CONDITION OF The CROPS.
WEATHER HAS BEEN UNFAVORA.
BILE FOR COTTON.
Corn Is in Good Shape and Is Maturing
Rapidly. Wheat and Tobacco Also
Seem to Be All Right.

The weather bureau, IN its review OF
crop conditions for the week, says;
Continued heavy rains have proved
unfavorable in the south Atlantic and
east Gulf states, while drouth prevails
in portions of Texas, Arkansas and
Missouri, and generally throughout the
states of the eastern Rocky Mountain
slope. The weather has proved very
favorable in the New England and tex
tile Atlantic states, the lake region and
generally throughout the central val
legs, the high temperature favOring
the rapid maturing of crops.
With the exception OF portions of
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and South
Dakota, where the late crops have been
injured by drouth and excessive heat,
the week has been very favorable for
corn, which is maturing rapidly under
favorable conditions throughout the
central and northern portion Of the
country. In the southern counties Of
Nebraska corn has ripened too rapidly
under the high temperature OF this and
the preceding week, and as a result
considerable proportion of the crop in
that section Of the state will be chaffy.
Some cutting has been done in nearly
all of the principal corn states.
Harvesting and threshlng of spring
wheat continues in Oregon and Wash
ingtOn. In Washington threshing
shows good yields, which, however,
have been somewhat lessened by poor
crops of late wheat in some sections as
a result of the excessive heat of the
first half of August, which has also
injured the crop in Oregon.
The week has been very unfavorable
to cotton, especially over the greater
partof the eastern portion of the cot
ton belt, where it has suffered from
heavy rams which have been contInu-
Gus for the past month, causing rust,
shedding and too rapid growth ofstalk. |
In portions of North Carolina. and
over the central part of the cotton !
region, conditions of the past week |
have been somewhat more favorable |
and the crop is improved in Tennessee, |
Missouri and portions Of Mississippi |
and Arkansas. Cotton has also i'm |
proved IN central and northern Texas. |
but insects are causing damage i'm |
many localities and premature opening |
and shedding are reported from the |
central and southern portions of the |
state. Picking is becoming general.
