Washington. Aug. 27.-The weather bu-
reaus weekly summary of crop condi-
tons is as follows:
The weather conditions of the week end
ing August &c, 1901, have been generally
favorable except in the middle and south
Atlantic and east gulf states and Ten
nessee, where in nearly all these sections,
heavy rains have damaged crops and in
terfered with work, and in some dis
tricts washed lands and. caused inunda-
| tons. Drouth conditions still prevail in
portions of Iowa. Oklahoma and Texas.
in the last named state becoming serious
in localities. and rain is also needed in
Michigan, Nebraska, the North Pacific
coast states and portions of Kansas and
Missouri. The temperature conditions
have been favorable for best results, ex-
cept in portions of Missouri. Kansas. Ok
lahoma( Texas. Montana and Washing
ton.
Continued Improvement in the late corn
is generally reported from the principal
corn growing states. Reports indicate
that late corn in Iowa has made rapid
progress, and that the ears are filing
beyond previous expectations; If shows
some Improvement in most localities in
Nebraska; has improved in eastern and
middle Kansas and in western and south
eastern Missouri; elsewhere in the last
named state the crop is deteriorating and
much complaint is received of ears not
filing well. In the states of the Ohio
valley the prospects for late corn are
decidedly improved, in some sections
fields previously reported beyond recov-
cry will be reclaimed. and the indica-
lions are that the prospective yield viii
be largely increased. Cutting has begun
in portions of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Spring wheat harvest is practically fin
ished in all sections, although retarded
some by rain in South Dakota and Min
nesota. Threshing is general and the
yields are as rule satisfactory, except
in North Dakota, where they continue
below expectations. The weather of the
past week has been generally unfavora-
bic for cotton. Complaints of shedding
and rusting are general throughout the
entire cotton belt. except in Missouri and
Oklahoma, but in Oklahoma the crop has
been somewhat damaged by hot dry
weather; some favorable reports are, how
ever, received from Tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana. Cotton is backward and
in poor condition in Texas, although the
late has improved where the rain fell;
it is opening quite rapidly in portions Of
Georgia and Alabama and picking is in
progress in those state as well as in
many localities in the western portion Of
the cotton region.
Tobacco is in good condition in tho
Ohio valley and Tennessee and the pros
poets for this crop are generally favora-
bic in these states, as well as in New
York. Growing tobacco was slightly IN
jured in Maryland by humid weather and
rains were unfavorable in Virginia
While adverse statements concerning ap-
pies continue from great number of tho
apple growing states reports
from Indiana, Illinois. Missouri and
Nebraska indicate fairly good prospects
for this fruit in portions of those states.
Flowing for fail seeding is in general
progress in all sections with soil usually
in good condition except in the central
and lower Missouri valley.
where rain IS needed to put the ground
in proper condition for this work.
