United States department of agri-
culture, climate and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau, Arkansas Sec
ton, for the week ending June Is:
Rain has been general throughout
the state and in some sections it
was excessive. Excepting a few To-
calities the wet weather has delayed
! the cultivation of cora and cotton
| and as a result the fields are very
grassy and weedy. Drv weather is
badly Leeded, and in case this con-
dition does not prevail soon there
will be a great loss of both corn and
cotton, more especially in the low
lands. Some fields in the lowlands
have already been abandoned.
Wheat has been nearly all harvested,
and is being DAMAGED to some ex-
tent by wet weather. Oats are
ripening and being harvested in
many sections. Irish potatoes, as
| rule, are doing well, but in some
localities they are rotting in the
ground. Fruit promises good yield
generally, except apples ond pears,
which are falling off in most Sec
tions.
