OF California, the rain area also covering
Oregon and Washington.
In the principal corn States the condi-
lions have been more favorable for this
staple than In the preceding week, al
though cultivation has been extensively
retarded as a result OF excessive rains IN
the Missouri, Central Mississippi and ONO
valleys, and planting has been delayed In
portions OF Illinois, Iowa and North Da-
kota. In Nebraska, Kansas, oklahoma,
Kentucky, Tennessee and over the greater
part Of the Middle Atlantic States corn Is
generally in q promising condition and is
well cultivated, buSo over the greater part

ports show no Improvement OF the crop IN
Missouri, but the effects of the weather OF
