CROP REPORT.
weather Bureau Makes It's Weekly
Statement Regarding the
Outlook for Crops.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE weather
bureau weekly report of crop condi-'
lions is as follows:
With more moderate temperatures ana
good rains over a large part OF the
drought-stricken area, the weather con-
ditions of the week ending August B were
the most favorable TO agricultural intsr-
ests In the states OF the central Valleys
that have prevailed since the latter part
Of June. In the states of the missouri
valley the severe and protracted drought
has been very largely relieved, but to the
eastward of the Mississippi and north or
the Ohio river only partial relief mas peen-
afforded by insufficient showers. the
drought conditions in the uppc- -c!!ay be-
ing more serious than at any previous
time this season. In the east gulf and por-
tions of the south Atlantic states and New
England and throughout the Pacific coast
districts the week has proved generally Ia
vorable.
In the great corn states late corn-and
fortunately a much larger proportion than
usual of this years crop was planted late
has experienced a general. and In some
cases decided. Improvement. but the
early corn has been practically ruined.
In Kansas the cooler weather with better
distributed rains decidedly improved con-
ditions In the eastern and western divi-
sons Of the state and slightly benefited
the central portions. and in many OF the
eastern. western and southern central
counties late corn still promises from one
fourth to half crop. In Nebraska tne
Improvement has been less marked ano IL
confined largely to the northern and ex-'
treme eastern counties. In Iowa the late
planted is making a better showing, ana.
under favorable conditions the balance OF
the season promises considerable yieio
of sound grain; the extent OF irreparapie
damage In this state cannot yet be esti-'
mated. In Missouri. where good local
showers fell, except In portions OF the
southern section, late corn has been much
improved. but elsewhere II continues 10
deteriorate. In Illinois corn has greatly
improved in the northern part Of the state,
but has deteriorated in parts of the centraI
and southern portions. In few Favored
districts Of northern Indiana corn Is SIN
promising, but elsewhere the upland ana
early planted Is almost beyond recovery;
with immediate rains about an average
crop of lowland and late planted would
be produced Over the greater part or
Ohio the condition of corn has been ma
terially lowered, portion of the crop
In the southwest part OF the state being
past help: in northeastern Ohio Its con-
dition is more hopeful In Tennessee, Ken
lucky and West Virginia the condition OF
corn has been materially reduced during
the past week. In the middle Atlantic
states an excellent crop OF corn Is now
practically assured.
The weather conditions in the spring
wheat region have been very favorable for
harvesting. which is nearing completion
in the southern districts. Some damage
has resulted from hail in South Dakota,
and the unfavorable effects Of recent hot
weather In North Dakota are becoming APP
parent. Some grain In the aforementioned
state has been badly lodged In Washing
ton a splendid crop is promised. and in
Oregon the yields are better than were
expected.
The oat harvest is mostly completed and
the yields are generally unsatisfactory.
