| bacco needing rain: potato crop light to fair;
peaches ripening, large crop; apples not
| good
| Michigan-W Weather geenrally favorable for

| potatoes and pastures; corn beginning to taS-

counties damaged to some extent by heat
| and lack of moisture; corn IL central and
northern sections growing rapidly; winter
| wheat and rye harvested; large amount of
! hay put up in good condition, yield better
| than anticipated except in southern counties;

| Iowa-Very high temperature with slight
| relief in eastern districts by scattered show
| ers; harvesting progressing rapidly under
! best condition for securing hay and grain;

bulk of crop is stoutly holding its own with
| fair prospects If relief comes soon; late berry
! crop and apples suffering badly.
South Dakota-Dry and hot; some hot
winds; spring wheat heads especially late;
partly bHghted, in some localities seriously,
/ general prospective yield and quality Of
| wheat and oats apparently considerably re-

| injured; flax, potatoes and grass somewhat
| injured; rain generally needed and In mum
| Der of localities badly,

| corn and fax growing rapidly.
Nebraska-Wnter wheat being thrashed,
yield and quality good; spring wheat and
oat' have ripened too rapidly in northern
/ counties and yield will be somewhat re-
| duccd; early planted corn beginning to tas-
| SCI In southern counties and IS considerably
! damaged; late planted corn is standing
| drought well, but all corn has deteriorated
in condition; apples dropping badly hay
prospects poorer.

Kansas-Eary corn badly damaged and in
extreme eastern counties being psstured

with rain soon will make fair crop; fruits
