Conditions Highly Favorable In the
 Districts East of the Rocky Moun-
 tains-Drought Relieved.
 Washington, July 1O.-The weather bureaus weekly summary of crop con- ditions is as follows
 l "As a whole the week has been highly | favorable in the district east of the | Rocky Mountains. The drought-strick- en regions of the northwest have re- ceived bountiful rains, and the central and east Gulf states, which have suf- fered much from excessive rains of pre- vious weeks, have, for the most part, experienced very favorable weather conditions. Drought continues in the Rocky Mountain regions, and rains would be beneficial in portions of Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas, in Florida and on the Atlantic coast northward of the Carolinas. The week has been marked by exceptionally high tempera- lures in the Missouri Valley and on the Atlantic coast from southern New Eng land to Florida.
 Corn has made rapid growth, and generally is in fine condition in the states of the central valleys, although suffering for rains in portions of Mis- souri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. In the East Guf states and portions of Tennessee much damage has been done on lowlands by rains of pre- Vlous weeks.
 The weather conditions in the central valleys have been more favorable for harvesting, and winter wheat harvest is nearing completion in the more northerly districts. Threshing is in general progress and yields, better than expected, are reported from Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois.
 The general and abundant rains in the Dakotas and Minnesota have i'm proved the outlook for late spring wheat, especially in Minnesota and South Dakota.
 In North Dakota most of the crop has been too badly damaged to be re- vived, and some sections will not yield enough for seed while others promise a partial crop.
 Except in New England, Minnesota and the Dakotas, reports respecting oats continue favorable, and the crop is now ripening in the more northerly dis tricts In the Dakotas and Minnesota recent rains have been of much benefit
 The weather has been generally fa- vorable for securing hay, except over portions of the upper lake region and upper Mississippi Valley, where rains have been detrimental
 The week has been generally very fa- vorable for giving cotton much needed cultivation, and an improvement in the condition of this crop is reported from the greater part of the cotton belt, be- ing most decided in the eastern por- tions. Too rapid growth Is, however, reportde from the central districts, and some lowland fields have been aban- doned in Tennessee and Louisiana. In Texas the crop has made rapid growth, except in some parts of eastern Texas.
 The general condition of the tobacco crop Is favorable, but rains would be beneficial In Maryland and portions of Virginia An improvement is reported from Kentucky where the crop has suffered from excessive rains of pre- vious weeks Cutting and curing are in progress in the Carolinas
 The outlook for apples continues promising in New York and Pennsyl- vania, and they are not falling so bad ly as previously reported in Ohio, but generally throughout the Ohio and central Mississippi valleys, embracing an important part of the apple region, complaints of dropping continue a marked feature of the reports.
