Severe Drouth In Many Places Re-
ported by the Weather Bureau.
WASHINGTON, July 24.--Following is
the Weather Bureaus weekly report
on the condition of the crops.
Rain is very generally needed in the
Atlantic Coast district north of Florida,
the drouth being quite severe in the
Carolinas, New Jersey and a portion of
New England, while too much rain has
fallen in portions of the Central valleys,
Northern Texas and the Central Gulf
States, and Northern Florida. Very
favorable temperature conditions have
prevailed during the week except in
the Middle Atlantic States, the upper
Missouri Valley and over portions of
Washington and Oregon, where un-
usually high temperatures have been
detrimental to crops.
sas and Nebraska has improved, the re-
ports indicate that much of the early
crop in portions of these States has
been injured by the drouth. In the
other great corn States of the Central
valleys, the crop has made rapid growth
under favorable conditions. Through
out the Atlantic Coast districts corn is
generally in need of rain.
Rains have interfered with threshing
and the completion of the winter wheat
harvest where unfinished over the
more northernly sections of the Central
valleys, but the conditions have been
highly favorable for harvesting in the
Middle Atlantic States and on the North
Pacific Coast. In the Central Valleys
and Lake Region, harvesting and
threshing have only been delayed, but
rains have caused damage to grain in
hook in portions of these districts.
Spring wheat harvest is in general
progress in South Dakota and portions
of Minnesota, and has begun in North
Dakota. In South Dakota and Mime
sofa the crop has made advancement,
although excessive rains and local
hailstorms have caused some damage,
in Southeastern South Dakota the high
te mperatures have proven injurious.
and in Oregon and Washington the
crop has suffered from hot winds.
Oat harvest is nearing completion in
the Central valleys, where the crop has
suffer ed to some extent from the rain
Haying has been interrupted and the
crop damaged to some extent by the
rains in the Central valleys. In New
York and New England haying is prac
tically finished, and the yield il
better than expected.
I Generally there has been some fur
ther improvement in the condition o
cotton. but the crop is suffering from
drou tn in the Carolinas and from tot
much rain in portions of the Centra
belt and portions of Texas. In the las
named State it has generally mad
rapid growth, being excellent in SOM
places and poor in others. Shedding il
reported from a greater part of tn
cotton belt, and rust from the Eastern
districts.
Complaints Of apples dropping con
tinue from many important apple State
and in the Central valleys, as well q
in New England and portions of tn
Middle Atlantic States. In New Yorl
the outlook is promising, and the abur
dant crop from Northern Indiana an,
portions of Illinois and Pennsylvani
is indicated.

THE German Emperor is reported to
bave said in speech he made Friday,
to the German troops who were en-
barking for China, "Spare nobody.
Make no prisoners" One of the Ger.
man papers says this phrase in his
speech was not used. 1t is well this is

none of the other powers could act a.
allies with him, or such policy would
leave no room for humanity, but would
mean q war Of determination.

KING HUMBERT, Of Italy, who was
killed by an assassin, Sunday evening,
was . wise and humane ruler. He
loved his country and his people, and
sought their best interests. His assas-
sination was one of those cruel acts of
moral perverts, who ought all to be be-
hind asylum walls. The civilized
world W II deplore the death of the
good king.

fortunately it is seldom known. A vast
amount of misery is caused at this season,
however, by impoverished blood, poor appe-

may be remedied by enriching the blood and
tOning the stomach with Hoods Sarsaparilia.
This medicine seems to put new life into the
whole physical system, simply because of its
wonderful power to purify. enrich and vital
