Makes Good Growth.
| According to the climate and crop diyi
sion OF the weather buieau. in the dss
tricts east of the Rocky Mountains the
week has been intensely hot. with desic
eating winds in Texas and the States al
the lower Missouri valley and middle
Rocky Mountain slope. East Of the Mis-.
sissippi River the excessive heat has so
| far caused no serious injury, but in DOR.
| 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 Pacic coast the week
mas been abnofmally cool, with light
Ifosts IN exposed places in Idaho and
utah. Abundant rains fell from Central
Montana eastward TO the upper lake re-
gion, 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
~fF~N C'N fu'iNs 10 from lack
of cultivation. In the Central and West
Huif states, including Arkansas, the crop
mas been seriously injured by drought.
Under the high temperatures of the
week grain has ripened rapidly and har-
vestinS of winter wheat has made rapid
progress, being nearly finished in Kansas
and Missouri, and thrashing is well ad-
vaAeeefd IN the central valleys. In the
upper Ohio valley Il considerable portion
of the crop is badly lodged and reports
OF damase by rust and fly are received
from pennsylvania and New York, re-
spectfveIy.g Favorable reports continue
from the Pacific coast. In Oregon wheat
Is Fipening 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 mp
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.
Haying has progressed under favor
able condit MS, and satisfactory yields
are generai-y reported, except in portions
or the central Mississippi and lower Mis-
souri, valleys, where the crop is light.
In Oregon and Washington haying has
been delayed by cloudiness and 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.
Cotton is now in general need of rain
in the central portions of the cotton belt,
but is standing the drought very well.
The outlook for apples is scarcely as
encouraging as in the previous week,
many important apple States reporting
prospects for light yields.
