WEATHER-CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Of The Government Bureau
Texas Section.
COTTON CONTINUES TO GROW Rapid,
Majority of the Correspondents Com.
plain that the Plant is Not
Fruitins Properly.

Following is the climate and crop bull
letin OF the weather bureau. Texas divi-
sion. for tho week ending Monday, Au-
gust 10:
Temperature; The temperature on an
average for the week ranged from 10 4
degrees below the daily normal. with the
greatest deficiency along the coast. The
minimum temperature for the week
hanged from so degrees over the Pam
handle TO 7S degrees over the east coast
district. The highest temperature for the
week at the several Geographic stations
was rs degrees at Beevillo.
Precipitation; The precipitation on an
average for the week was slightly below
the normal over the extreme northwest
ern portion OF the State. while there WAS
a general excess elsewhere, with the
greatest over the coast district. General
showers prevailed every day throughout
the week. with heavy local rains over the
southwestern half OF the State.
CONDITION or CROPS.
The continued showery weather has re-
tarded farming operations generally. Hay
and other forage crops have been dam
aged by the wet weather. Fall blowing is
progressing In localities. but the ground
is too wet for this work in some sections.
Corn is maturing very slowly; some Is
rotting in the field on account of the con-
tinued wet weather. Late corn has inn
proved materially since the middle OF
July and the yield will be much better
than anticipated. Dry weather with sum
shine would be of great benefit to the
crop. With favorable weather early corn
will soon be ready to gather.
The continued wet weather has re-
tarded wheat and oat threshing and in-
iured the grain in shock 1NlreshlnB IL
not vet completed In a few localities.
Cotton continues to grow very rapidly.
All correspondents except from Northwest
Texas complain OF too much rain for the
crop and many report that the plant is
not fruiting we'll Some fields are grassy
and the ground is too wet for cultivation
In most sections. The boil worm, Next
can weevil and sharpshooters are reported
generally and are doing considerable dam
age in localities. Picking has COM
menced in few localities, but this work
will not be general for some time, Cot
ton is opening very slowly. Some CORE
spondents report that the bolls are rot
ting on account OF the wet weather.
Shedding is reported fran many places.
Cotton prospects are not rs good as they
were two weeks ago. The continuous rains
are Injurious to the crop and dry sun
shiny weather Is badly needed,
Sugar cane not doing we'll; crop needs
sunshine and dry weather for maturing.
Vegetables are a failure in some sections
on account OF the continued rains. Rice
10 doing fairly we'll but needs dry, sun
shiny weather to rpen crop, Sorghum,
cane is maturing; some being made up.
Dry weather is badly needed for general
farming interests throughout the south
eastern half of the State.

HOLINESS MEETING CLOSED.
1t Was Successful Despite the Com
tinuous Rains.

III was SGCccssfui Despifc the CON-
tinuous Rains.
Terrell Texas, Auguet .3.-The Terrell
Holiness camp meeting he's closed and the
grounds have been cleared. The meet
ing was held under most unfavorable cir
cumstances, rain having fallen nearly
every day of the meeting. With all these
embarrsssmonts the meeting held regular
services and accomplished wonderful re-
suits. The Attendance was much larger
than at any previous year, and the order
was excellent. though the audiences often
exceeded 1000 people, and two or three
services there were from 1900 to 5000
at each service. The services were OFTEN
conducted in the midst OF 4 regular down
pouring rain and yet the people came IN
great numbers The preaching was OF 4
high order Rev Il. @. Morrison swaying
the immense mu,titudes as never before.
The churches did not antagOnize the
meeting as heretofore, and the prejudicee
did not seem to prevail to such an extent
as ut former encampments against the
doctrine OF holiness as preached by these
people 1t is really astonishing that a
meeting should continue for ten days
where the congregations range from 500
to 5000, where no regular police are emf
ployed ana where no disorder OF cunse-
quence Is noticeable, There were safely
. counted sixty three persons were pro-
fessed either reclamation, pardon or
entire sanctifcation. The meeting Used
under the most favorable conditions. Rev.
n. c. Morrison the next day preached at
the Denton camp meeting and Prof. Ker-
sey went to Towash to conduct another
camp meeting.
The new we'll on the camp ground turns
out to be splendid sulphur water, which
was quite a treat to most OF the campers.
The grounds were in much better shape.
