in the musical life of Germany at pres

Crop Conditions.

Times Democrat.
The Weather Bureaus crop re-
port declares last week to have been
the most favorable of the season,
but that is not saying much, for the
season SO far has been phenomenal
iy bad--cool, rainy and inauspicious
for planting. The Ohio Valley, the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts
have been the chief sufferers in
these respects.
The South has probably been the
worst victim for the very good rea-
son that it starts in planting earlier
than other sections, and its crops
were therefore caught by the cold
wave. The Weather Bureau now
admits that in its previous bulletin
it understimated the amount of
damage done by the late cold spell,
and report that great deal of cot
ton was killed and will have to be
replanted. Com also has suffered,
both from the cold and the excep-
tionally wet weather but not as much
as cotton.
Some difficulty is reported in re-
planting, growing out of a lack Of
seed, and this NAV prevent the in
creased cotton acreage threatened.
which will be Of great advantage to
the Southern cotton growers. As
for the other crops, the unfavorable
weather of April seems to have done
little damage beyond
setting them back some weeks
