CROP REPORT
Weekly Summary ot the Weather
 Bureau

Washington, September 1.-The weather bureaus weekly summary of crop condi- lions says:
 The hot, dry weather has rapidly matured corn, and under existing conditions the crop should be practically safe from frost by September b. Cutting Is in progress in all sections and an excellent crop is assured in the principal corn producing States. Late corn Is drying in central Kansas, is serious ly injured by drought in portions of Ken lucky, and will be short in West Virginia. Virginia and the south Atlantic States
 In the eastern part of the cotton belt the greater part of the crop Is now open and picking Is progressing rapidly, but has been delayed by showers in Florida. Complaints of rust and shedding continue, and some damage from rain has resulted to the open staple in Georgia, while the bolls are small and difficult to pick. No serious injury to cotton from the recent tropical storm Is reported from the central section; in Louis lana the first picking Is yielding fairly well, but the prospects for a top crop in that State as well as in Mississippi and North Carolina, are unfavorable. Slow progress was made in picking in Arkansas and Mis- sissippi, due to hot weather and scarcity of pickers In the first named State. Owing to the prostration of wires by the tropical storm which recently devastated Texas no reports concerning cotton have been re- ceived from that State.
 The greater part of the tobacco crop has been housed and curing is progressing. The late crop was seriously injured by drought In portions of Kentucky, and interior yield is indicated In North Carolina A light yield is also reported from Maryland and Vir- ginia.

 This Is what we term our annual vaca- tion," said Mir. Munger last night. Every summer my wife and l gather together as many of our kinsfolk as we can and take them on 8 little spree. Our party this year numbers thirteen and includes sons, daugh- ters, nieces, cousins and my wife's sister in-law. Last year there were twenty-six of us, and we had q jolly trip over the Rock les. This summer we have visited Asbury Park, Niagara Falls and the Thousand Islands. We will spend several days here and then proceed to our respective homes.
 "A peculiar thing about our party is the way the supposedly unlucky No. IS has stuck to us. There are thirteen in the party. We left Saratoga on a Friday and there were 13 cars in the train. One of our seats was No. 13. One of the girls is 13 years old. We have been on our journey 31 days, just 13 reversed. We leave for home on the 13th."
