Condition of the Crops.

The A agricultural Department Tuesday
issued the following summary of crop
conditions:
Much nee led rains have fallen over
large part of the area north of the Ohio
and Missouri rivers. Continued absence
of rain has intensified the droughty con-
ditions in Eastern Montana and North
Dakota, and while showers have afforded
temporary relief in Minnesota, more rain
is needed there and in portions Of Wis
consin. Drought conditions are also in
creasing over a large part of the Middle
Atlantic States and portions of Tennessee
There has been too much rain in Oregon
and Western Washington, where warm
sunshine is needed, especially in the first
named State.
Upon the whole the week has been
favorable to corn. Planting has progress
ed rapidly in the central and nothern dis
tricts, and is nearing completion in some
of the important corn States of the cen
trail valleys; planting in Minnesota and
North Dakota is now general and has be-
sun in the southern portions of Wiscon-
sin and Michigan. Cool nights have
checked the growth Of corn in the Lower
Ohio and Lower Mississippi Valleys and
portions of the South Atlantic States.
Complaints Of injury to winter wheat
by the Hessian fly continue and in some
sections, namely Tennessee and Missouri
are more numerous than in the preceding
week, but on the whole the crop has made
favorable progress it is now heading as
far north as the Ohio Valley. Excellent
reports continue from the Pacific Coast
where harvesting and thrashing have
begun in the San Joaquin Valley, the
earliest in many years, shipments of new
grain having already been made. Early
sown spring wheat is generally doing
well, but the late sown over the northern
portion of the spring wheat region is
suffering much from drought.
The reports respecting oats are not Sd
favorable. but on the whole the outlook
is promising
Tobacco plants are reported backward
in Kentucky, although plentiful as else
where. Transplanting is finished in South
Carolina and some transplanting has been
done in Virginia but none farther north
