the gulf states and excessive rains,
which retarded farming operations in
the Ohio n Mississippi valleys. Elk

perature conditions of the week have
been decidedly favorably and crops
generally AVE made good growth, ex-
cept in portions of the gulf states,
where they are suffering from drought.
FroStS were reQuent in portions of the
lake region, pper Mississippi and up
per Missouri valleys, but, on the whole,
no serious damage is reported. Excess
i've rains have delayed corn planting
in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa N Indiana,
but elsewhere over the northern por-
ton Of the country planting progress
ed favorab1y about half of the proposed
acreage having been planted in ILL
nois and Ohio. The early planted corn
is receiving its first cultivation in the
states of the lower Missouri, Central
Mississippi and Ohio valleys, the
stands being generalIv reported good.
In the central gulf .t-tes, the crop is
needing rain and is being injured to
some extent by insects.
Winter wheat has made rapid growth
during the week in the states of the
central valleys, where it is now head
ing. Chinchbugs n Hessian fly are
causing injury in portions of Missouri
and Illinois. The crop needs rain in
Nebraska, and is suffering from
draught in the east gulf states. In
Washington an improved condition is

erly winds have been injurious in some
sections. The outlook in Oregon con
tinues promising.
Oats have been injured by frost in
South Dakota n are suffering for rain
in the central gulf states, South Da-
kota and Nebraska, but generally the
crop is in promising condition and has
made rapid growth during the week.
Harvesting IS in progress in Florida.
In h Carolinas n Georgia this
| week has been favorable for cotton,
but in the central portion Of the cot
ton belt the crop has suffered from in
scots and in the southern portions of
Mississippi and Louisiana from drought
Poor stapds are reported from Missouri
n Arkansas. Planting continues in
southwest Texas, where some re-plans-
ing will be necessitated on account OF
heavy rains, which have also delayed
planting in Oklahoma. The bulk Of
the crop IN Texas, however, is up to
good stands, is well cultivated, and is
, growing rapidly in the southern por-
ton, but is badly in grass in the en-
trail and north portions.
Some tobacco has been trans-planted
in Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia; far
Their north no ~transplanting has been
done, but preparations are we'll ad-
vanced and plants are generally plen-
tiful. In South Carolina and Florid1

what we call damaged would
be all right at other stores;
we are particular, that is why

What do you think of dollar

they were convicted of being
unfit to be with our high-toned
China?
What do you think of CSC

because a chip the size. of a

during the Christmas rush?
Fancy. plates worth 75c,
condemned to the Odds and
