THE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS.
What the Weather Bureaus WeekiS
summary Has to Say.

Summary Has to Say.
Washington, Aug. 20.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions OF the
week have been favorable except on
the north Pacific coast, where 1t mas
been excessively warm. The middle
and south Atlantic and east gulf states,
including Tennessee, have suffered
from heavy rains, the south Atlantic
and east gulf states and Tennessee ex-
periencing damaging winds as well as
injury from overiiows. The greater
part of Texas and portions of the Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi valleys and
upper lake region continue to suffer
from drought, and drought Is begin
ming to affect crops In Oregon ana
Washington. The Rocky mountain re-
gion and California have had an excep-
tionally favorable week.
A very general Improvement In the
condition of late corn Is Indicated IN
the principal corn states. In Iowa the
crop is materially improved and more
promising than was deemed possible
Aug. /, but the yield is still contingent
upon additional moisture very soor
and the absence of frosts the greater
part of September. Late corn has I'm
proved in extreme southeastern Ne
braska, but continues to suffer for rail
! in central and northern counties. II
, the eastern and western portions
Kansas late corn IL much improved
, but In the central counties rain cam
, too late to save the crops. In som
portions of Missouri late corn Is pre-
crossing well, but in most sections 1t
suffering for rain. Good rains In Ill
+ nois, Indiana and Ohio have improve
5 the outlook and especially IN Indian,
> but, as in other portions of the cor
u belt, the greater part of the early cor
v has been ruined. The propitious on
y look for corn in the middle Atlant
J. states and New England continues.
