son, of the Department of Agriculture,
delivered an address before the body.
He referred to the fact that the Southern
States have a much heavier rainfall than
the Northern States, and that the South
ern States suffer much more from the
drought than do the States OF the Misss-
sippi Valley.
The cause, he said, could be found in the
condition Of the soil in the new portions
of the country. Where there is deep SOIL
full of 1umus, much less rainfall will
mature crops. The Southern States have
been under cultivation for a long time.
Humus, decayed vegetation. is becoming
scarce in the soil. When the soil is we'll
stocked with ilu1nus, it is able to retain
moisture He suggested the practica5lllty
of southern cultivators replacing the
humus in their soil by growing grasses
and lesumes. because there is a great de-
mand at the present time and proo7oly
always will be for first-class horses, cattle,
sheep and other grazing animals: me

THE week ending August 2tth Is ule>
fourth week of excessive heat in the DIS

while it was dry over the greater part
of the Southern States, portions OIL Ne"
England and the Ohio valley, there were
in these districts good rains over local
areas and very general and abundant rams
over the northern portions of the central
valleys southern half of the Upper Lake

The temperature conditions for the past
week, as in the preceding week Of August
have been highly favorable for the rapid
development OF corn.
Except in Alabama, where an improve
ment in tha condition of cotton is reported
the general condition Of this crop over the
central and eastern portions of the cotton
belt has further deteriorated. In Texas
cotton has generally improved in the south
portion, but in some localities in the north
| portion was injured by hot winds. Pick
ing is in general progress over the CEN
trail and southern portions of the belt.
In Western kentucky, the Caroinas and
portions Of Virginia and Maryland tobacco
has suffered from drought, but in the two
last named States rains of the past week
have materially improved its condition.
In the other tobacco States the crop has
! made very favorable p,6sress, although
sustaining damage from hail in Wisconsin.
In the Southern States the conditions have
; not been favorable for fall blowing.
