CROP CONDITIONS REVIEWED.
Weekly Summary Compiled by the
Weather Bureau.

Following is the weather bureaus weekly
summary of crop conditions:
This is the fourth consecutive week of
abnormally cold weather over nearly the
Whole country, with the most marked tenn
perature deficiency of the season in the
central valleys and southern states, the
heavy precipitation throughout the Ohio
valley and over the greater portion of the
Atlantic coast and gulf districts.
These conditions have been very unfaVOr-
able for farming operations, termination
and growth, and the heavy rains have re-
suited in destructive freshets, especially In
the Ohio valley. Warmth and in most Sec
tionS sunshine. is urgently needed
generally to the east of the Rocky noun
tains- While the season continues back
ward in the Rocky mountains and Pacific
coast states, the seasonal temperature de-
ficiency is not marked and the latter part
Of the week was very favorable in the cen
trail Rocky mountain region.
Very slow progress has been made with
corn planting; none has yet been planted
north of the Ohio river, and extensive re-
planting will be necessary over large part
of the southern states, where the growth OF
the crop has been decidedly checked.
While the growth of winter wheat has
been materially retarded by low tempera-
ture, the previously reported promising
condition of this crop continues. In Okla
homa and Texas, however, insects are still
causing serious damage On the Pacific
coast the condition Of winter wheat Is
promising, except the late sown in portions
of California
But little spring wheat has been sown in
North Dakota, and while seeding is well
advanced in portions of Minnesota and
South Dakota, much less has been sown
than at the corresponding date of last
year, and termination has been checked.
Where not interfered with by rain, oat
seeding has been making favorable pro-
gress and is nearing completion In the
central valleys, but in the more northerly
sections and In the middle Atlantic states
slow progress has been made.
The reports respecting this crop, how
ever. are generally favorable, except in
Oklahoma and Texas, where insects con-
ttnue destructive.
The week has been very unfavorable for
cotton planting over a large part Of the
cotton belt. more particularly in the CEN
trai districts, where much replanting will
De necessary. The early planted is coming
up to poor stands generally, and in Texas
and Georgia some damage has been done
by frost. In Tennessee about one-third of
the crop has been planted.
Although freezing temperatures occurred
as far south as eastern Tennessee and
western North Carolina, the reports indi-
cate that fruit has very largely escaped
injury. In portions of the central valleys
and southern states fruit has sustained In
jury, but 1t is probable that the damage Is
not serious.

PLANS FOR NEW WARsHIps.
Conclusions of the Board of Naval
Construction.

The board Of naval construction has put
itself on record as favoring battery power
and steaming radii over speed in warships
of the f1rst-class. 1t acted on that line
yesterday in considering plans for the con-
struction Of projected armored cruisers and
battle ships. If the plans of the board are
approved by Secretary Long and carried
into effect the new battle ships will be
about the size Of the Pennsylvania class
that is. 15O00 tOns-and the armored
cruisers will be about 1900 TONS the dis
placement of the California class. The
battle ships will have a speed of nineteen
knots, while the armored cruisers will not
have more than twenty-five knots and per-
haps only twenty-one.
suggestion was made that they be de-
signed for twenty-three knots, but the con-
clusion was reached that the space for the
machinery to produce this speed could bet
ter be utilized in storing coal and adding to
the battery strength.
The board has not yet determined upon
tie battery arrangement OF the ships
Plans have been prepared by each member
some of which embody the superposed tur-
ret principle. Some of the members believe
enough battle ships equipped with super
posed turrets have been constructed and
they will urge return to the Quadrflateral
arrangement.
