Condition Of the Crops.

Following is the Weather Bureaus
weekly summary of crop conditions
Practically an entire absence of rain
over large part of the Missouri and
Upper Mississippi Valleys has intensified
the drouth conditions previously existing
in these districts. while the greater part
of the region extending from the East
Gulf coast to the Lower Lake region and
New England suffered further from ex-
cessive rains. The week has been alb
normally cold to the eastward of the
Mississippi river and in the West Gulf
States, with frosts in the Central Rocky
Mountain districts, Upper Lake region
Kansas and Oklahoma causing little or
no damage except in Northern Wisconsin
while temperatures much above the
average occurred in the Upper Missouri
and Red River of the North Valleys. The
Northern Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Coast districts had favorable week.
On the whole the week has been unfav-
orable to corn, which, owing to low
temperatures has made slow growth
damage by cut worms being extensively
reported. In the Southern States further
improvement in the condition of the crop
is generally reported. Planting has been
much retarded over the northern portion
of the Middle Atlantic States and New
In the States of the Lower Missouri
Valley winter wheat has suffered from
drouth and damage from fly is more ex.
tensively reported throughout the win
ter wheat belt, the most marked deteriora-
ton being shown in the reports from
Missouri. Harvesting has begun as far
North as Arkansas, and will begin in
Kansas about June Is. The crop in Oregon
has improved and in California, where
harvest is beginning, the largest yield in
many years is promised.
Spring wheat is generally in need of
rain, especially in the Dakotas. The
crop has made fair progress in portions
of the Dakotas, and notwithstanding the
dry weather in Minnesota, has made
good growth.
In the States of the Missouri and Upper
Missouri Valleys, especially in the former
the oat crop is much in need of rain. In
the Upper Ohio Valley and Tennessee
the condition of the crop is improved
Harvesting continues in the Southern
States
Transplanting of tobacco has made
rapid progress in Maryland, Virginia and
Tennessee under favorable conditions
has been transplanted, but the plants are
small and are not starting we'll In the
Carolinas tobacco is suffering from heavy
rains. The plant beds in Ohio have been
unfavorably affected.

The Weather for June.

The following is Prof. Hicks forecast
for the month of June:
The month will come in at the culmi-
mating stages Of storm period which
begins the last days of May. Full moon
at extreme south declination on the End
will intensity electrical storms, but will
cause a drift of atmospheric tides from
the north, and bring down over the coun
try marked change to cooler weather
Immediately after the close of the storm.
"A return of storm conditions will ap-
pear on and touching the 4th to 9th,
shower resulting from the falling barom-
eter and higher temperature on those
dates. Rising barometer and cooler, fair
weather will be the natural order behind
the disturbances of this period, lasting
progressively from about the 9th to the
Sth. The regular Vulcan storm period,
extending from the 9Th to the 18th, leads
fully into June solstic perturbations,
with Mercury disturbance also central
on The 18TH
The moon is on the celestial equator
on the 9th, and this being coincident with
an annual crisis of electric disturbances,
thunder storms, and much general and
continuous lightning will illuminate the
evenings and nights for days in success
ion. About Sunday 9th to Wednesday
the 18th. many electrical storms, with
rain and possible violence, will most like
ly occur The annual June showers are
naturally to be looked for from this time
until near the end of the month.
"Showery, unsettled weather is proba-
bic into the reactionary disturbances due
from the 18th to 18th, the moon being in
perigee on the 18th, at greatest north
declination on the 10th, and at new moon
on the 10th. Very warm, muggy wealth
will prevail at this time and heavy rain
storms will visit localities, especially
regions along the Atlantic seaboard.
Some of the most decided storms of the
month are probably about Friday the 21st
to Tuesday the 25th."

The Boston Concert Company

Every member Of which is an artist,
played to small audience at the Beck
er q Lewis opera house Wednesday
night, under very grave disadvantages.
The piano was so frightfully out OF
tune that after one effort MICS Payson
gave up in disgust and refused to at
tempt any of her difficult solo work,
but the audience was in thorough sym.
pathy, and knowing the provoking diff.
hculties under which the charming
lady labored, gave her hearty hand
when she left the stage in high dudgeon
with the first number not more than
half finished.
Bernard Walther is undoubtedly the
smartsst violinist ever heard in For

handicapped by the piano, and re.
marked the professor 6 have to tune

No trick Of the pen with which we
are familiar could describe our i'm
pressions of Walther. He seemed to
be complete master of his instrument
and no flowery compositions OF praise
would do credit to his rendition of
classic numbers, nor the beauty and
humor OF those Of lighter vein.
Miss Roddy sang in highly cultured
and pleasing manner. The little lady
Was charmingly captivating and her
sweet personality at once brought the
audience to her feet, where it was held
in rapt admiration Of her thrilling
raphsodies. Miss Roddy surrounded
her listeners with (pul-stirring melody
and lifted them ip 70 delightful realms
OF harmony, singing with rare grace,
in notes as clear and sweet as an
1Eolian harp. e
Cyrus BROMLEY Newton was spoken

those to whom the musical portion of
the program failed to appeal, and in
deed that gentleman is a most excel
lent reader. None of his pieces were
oyer-acted, and his Interpretation Of
the various characters assumed were
& faithful, forcible and artistic. y Prof.
Newton's reception WAS most satisfac-
tory.
Every number was roundly encored
and the company were very gracious
in responding. We are at "a loss to
know what kept so many of our play
goers away Wednesday evening. The
program certainly excelled anything
OF the kind ever before heard at the
local opera house.
