Government Crop Report.

Washington, May THE weather
bureaus weekly general summary OF
crop conditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions of the
week ending May Sth in nearly all dis
tricts east of the Rocky mountains
have been highly favorable, but it has
been too dry over the greater part OF
the gulf and south Atlantic states, as
we'll as in portions of the lake region
and central valley.
Corn planting has progressed rapidly
in the central valley, las begun in the
extreme northern districts and is about
finished as far north as the Carolinas,
Tennessee and Arkansas. In the
southern states poor stands are extern
sively reported, and the crop is gen.
orally in need of rain, although some
what improved as compared with it's
condition at the close of the previous
week.
The a crop is generally suffering
for rain in the southern states, and
damage from insects continues in
texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and por-
tons of Illinois.
Rains are very generally needed
throughout the cotton belt to germi-
nate the very large part of the crop
~replanted since the cold OF April 18th,
some of which, however, is coming
up to good stands, especially in the
eastern districts. While planting has
been delayed by dry weather in Texas,
this work has made good progress
elsewhere, and is nearly completed over
the northern portion Of the central dis
tricts. Their is extensive complaint
of scacity Of seed.
Owing to dry weather no tabacco has
been ~transplanted in South Carolina,
but plants are generally plentiful in
this and other tobacco growing states.
The fruit outlook continues encour-
aging generally in all districts.

yers themselves and they have raised an

question IS whether the present board

It is conceded that the terms OF the
county officers including the county com
missioner from the west district win ex-

Some claim that the present board of
county commissioners viii have the right

Just before the new board is organized
and others say that that VIII be the
first duty of the new board. All of the
fellows who expect 10 get an appointment
to one Of the vacancies have very de-

The fellows who think they are solid
with the present board are confident that
st is the proper tribunal to pass on the
new appointments and all the other fel-
lows are just as certain that the new
board which viii be organized next Jan

right to fill the vacancies.
There is a question here that may cause
