waist party given in the ballroom of the
Ocean Hotel. Not only were the young

waists. but their partners were also in
"negIigee attire"-so runneth the "spe-
cial" account of the affair. Analysed, it

SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS
Weekly Report Issued by the De-
pnrfrncnf of scrfcuIfurc

Weekly Report Issued by the De-
pnrtmcnt of Agriculture.
The following summary of crop condi-
lions has been issued by the Agricultural
Department:
Notwithstanding the excessively heavy
rains on the west Gulf coast and in por-
tions of the central Missouri Valley, and
the prevalence OF drought TO a greater or
less extent In the Middle and South Allan
tic States and over portions of Missouri,
Kansas, and Oklahoma. the week has been
generally favorable in the districts east of
the Rocky Mountains. Throughout the
Rocky Mountain and plateau regions there
is general scarcity Of water, especially over
the southern districts.
The condition of corn in Kansas and Ne
braska is less favorable than in the pre-
vious week. and the crop is suffering for
rain in portions of Missouri, southern Ohio,
West Virginia. Maryland, Virginia, and
North Carolina. In Indiana. Illinois, and
Iowa corn has made very favorable pro-
gress, and is improved in Kentucky, Ten
nessee. and Pennsylvania.
Harvesting Of winter wheat is about
completed. except in the more northerly
districts, the weather conditions being
very favorable for this work In the dis
tricts east of the Mississippi River, except
in portions of New York, where 1t has
been interrupted by rains. Harvesting is
well advanced on the Pacific Coast.
Further Improvement In the condition of
spring wheat is reported from Minnesota
and South Dakota, and while no decided
improvement is reported from North
Dakota the weather conditions in that
State have been propitious. In Minnesota
the crop has suffered some damage from
local storms. Fair to good yields are ex-
pected in the extreme southeastern coun-
ties of South Dakota.
Dat harvest is in progress in the States
of the central valleys, and very fine crop
generally is being secured in good condi-
ton.
Wet weather has Interrupted haying in
northern New England, but elsewhere the
hay harvest has made satisfactory progress
and is nearly completed in the States of
the central valleys. Rains have caused
damage to hay IN Michigan, Louisiana. and
Texas.
general Improvement in the condition
of cotton is reported. except in Florida and
Louisiana. but the plant is small and is
fruiting slowly in the central and eastern
districts. where some fields are still grassy
In Texas the crop has made good growth,
but Is very uneven. and the early planted
is fruiting well. Except in scattered locali-
ties.
In Virginia, Tennessee. and the Caro-
linas tobacco is suffering from drought. and
is "buttoning" low in the two first named
States. In the Ohio Valley, New England.
and over the northern portion of the Mid
die Atlantic States tobacco has made fay
CRADLE progress.
The continued dropping Of apples in New
England. the central valleys, and upper
lake region has materially reduced the
prospects for this crop in those districts,
but the outlook continues encouraging in
New York and portions of Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana.
