Government Crop Report

Washington July 30.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
Intense heat prevailed during the
greater part of the week throughout
the central valleys, but the empera
lures during the last three days were
more moderate. Good rains have fallen
over a large part of the drought aroun
Mississippi and Missouri valleys, but
drought conditions have become more
serious in the Ohio valley and Tennes-
see where the week has been %rainless
except in a few localities. In the At
lantic coast districts the weather o n
ditions have been generally favorable,
except over portions Of the Carolinas
and Virginia, where rain is now needed.
The conditions were also favorable on
the Pacific.
Recent rains have improved late corn
in portions of Nebraska, Kansas. Okla
homa and Missouri, but the early crop
practically was ruined before the ain
came. In Iowa the crop has sustained
less injury than in the before-mention-
ed states n the rain fall has been cop
ous and we'll distributed. In the great
corn states east of the Mississippi river,
except over northern Illinois, drought
and excessive heat has continued with
disastrous effect upon corn, which is
now in a critical condition. In Miehi-
gan anu SeneTdlIy tuTOuSHOul the HlO-
die Atlantic states and New England
the corn crop is in fine condition.
Harvesting of spring wheat is we'll
advanced over the southern portion Of
the spring wheat region, aud has begun
in the southern Red river valley. Pre-
mature ripening has reduced the yield
and quality of the crop over the south
ern portion of the spring wheat region.
The condition of cotton over the
greater part of the cotton belt is i'm
proved, good growth and clean fields
being generally reported. : In Missouri,
Arkansas, Tennessee and central Texas,
however. the crop continues to need
rain. and shedding and blooming at top
in these states are extensively report
ed.
In the Ohio valley and Tennessee to-
bacco continues to suffer from drought,
but in Kentucky and Tennessee has
withstood the unfavorable conditions
well. In New England and the middle
south Atlantic states the crop has
made good growth. Cutting and curing
continue in the Carolinas under favor

Cervera's Tribute to Schley

Admiral Cervera, the commander of
the Spanish fleet which was destroyed
near Santiago, impressed the American
people as a chivalrous officer and a gen.
tleman of high character. That he is
competent to judge of the conduct of
Admiral Schley in the greatest sea fight
in the war with Spain goes without
saying. The Spanish admiral, in
an interview printed in the New York
Journal yesterday, pays a graceful trib-
ute to Admiral Schley, who he pro-
ounce "a gallant officer and a high
minded gentleman" Admiral Cervera
is an officer of tried IRA who led a
forlorn hope and acquitted himself like
a hero. His tribute to a former foe
will win him the respect of all Ameri-
cans who admire true nobility of thar
acter. Admiral Schley," says the dis
tinguished Spaniard, accomplished full
ly the work allotted to him, and, there
fore, it does not seem to me that there
is any reason for adverse criticism-at
least from the American side. Admiral
Schley showed ability and thorough
ness."-Baltimore Sun
