tons of the Ohio valley, Tennessee, and
the Central and Gulf States rain is much
needed. In the central and north plateau
districts and on the T.acic coast the week
has been abnormally cool, with light
frosts III exposed places in Idaho and
Utah. Abundant rains fell from Central
Montana eastward to the upper lake re-
glon, and over portions of the Ohio val
ley and local areas in the South Atlantic
and Gulf States.
Corn has made good growth in the
principal corn States but is suffering
for rain in Missouri and Kansas. In the
Ohio valley and middle Atlantic States,
however. corn is backward and in the
upper Ohio valley is suffering from lack
OF cultivation. In the Central and West
Gulf States, including Arkansas, the crop
has been seriously injured by drought

Vesting OF winter wheat has made rapid
progress, being nearly finished in Kansas
and Missouri, and thrashing is we'll adj
vanced in the central valleys. In the
upper Ohio valley considerable portion
Of the crop is badly lodged and reports
of damage by rust and fly are received
from Pennsylvania and New York, re-
spectively. Favorable reports continue
from the Pacific coast. In Oregon wheat
is ripening slowly but under favorable
conditions.
In Minnesota the condition of spring
wheat continues excellent and in the
Dakotas the outlook is generally favor
able, although some injury has been done
by excessive rains on lowlands.
The oat crop in the States of the up
per Mississippi and lower Missouri val
leys has suffered damage from the in
tense heat. The crop is much affected
by rust in Maryland and Pennsylvania
In other sections more favorable reports
are generally received.
Hayins has progressed under favor
able conditions, and satisfactory yields
are generally reported, except in portions
of the central Mississippi and lower Mis-
souri, valleys, where the crop is light
In Oregon and Washington haying has
been delayed by cloudiness AMI moist
ure, but large yields are promised.
All reports respecting tobacco are ia
vorable with the exception of those from
Tennessee and South Carolina, the crop
needing rain in the former State and
suffering from lack Of cultivation in the
latter.
The outlook for apples is scarcely as
encouraging as in the previous week,
many important apple States reporting
prospects for light yields
