Condition Of the Crops.

The Weather Bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
The South Atlantic and the centra! and
eastern portions of the Gulf States have
suffered much from heavy rains, while
the severe drought over the northern 2or-
ton of the Spring Wheat Region con
tinues unbroken, only light showers hav-
ing fallen over limited areas. In the
States of the Lower Missouri Valley and
on the Middle Atlantic Coast the weather
conditions were favorable, and generally
favorable conditions prevailed on the
Pacific Coast, except in the Upper Sacra-
mento Valley, where rains caused some
damage.
Corn has made favorable progress in the
Central Valleys, and is in good state OF
cultivation, except in portions Of the Cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, where
many fields are weedy. In the Southern
States, cast of the Mississippi river. Corn
has suffered seriously from excessive
rains and is badly in need of cultiva-
ton.
In Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and
portions of Missouri Winter Wheat har-
vest has continued under favorable con-
ditions, but in the Central Mississippi
and Ohio Valleys it has been interrupted
by heavy rains, which have also caused
much damage to Wheat in shock. Harvest
ing has made good progress under favor
able weather conditions in the Middle
Atlantic States. Throughout the South
Atlantic and East Gulf State there is also
much complaint of injury to Wheat in
shock. The outlook on the Pacific Coast
continues promising, except to the Villa
mettc Valley, where poor crop is indicat-
ed
Spring Wheat has further deteriorated
over the northern portion of the Spring
Wheat Region as a result of continued
unfavorable weather conditions. no rain
or only light showers over limited areas,
having fallen. In North Dakota the early
sown is reported as practically dead, and
another week of unfavorable weather will
almost completely ruin the late sown. In
both North Dakota and Minnesota fields
are being plowed up for other crops.
While the outlook in South Dakota is
more encouraging, more than ne-half an
average crop is promised In Iowa the
crop is doing fairly well.
Except in the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Northern Wisconsin the reports respect
ing Oats continue favorable, a decided
Improvement being reported from the
Ohio Valley. Further damage is reported
to Oats in shock in East Gulf States.
A general Improvement in the condition
of Hay is indicated except in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, New York and
New England, the crop being almost a
failure in Minnesota and North Dakota,
| and promising about one half an average
yield in New York. Rains on the North
Pacific Coast have proved detrimental to
the Hay crop.
The week has been favorable to tobacco
| except over portions of Western Kentucky
and Tennessee, where it has suffered from
heavy rains.
The statement that Apples are falling
continues to be marked feature of the
reports respecting this crop throughout
the Middle Atlantic States and Central
Valleys, although in some portions of
these districts there still remains an
abundance of fruit on the trees. In
Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York AMI
New England 4 COOL crop is promised.
