CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
The National Weather Bureaus "eeAi'
summary of the Crop
situation.

Washington. April 23.-Ihe weather
bureaus weekly summary OF crop
conditions is as follows;
The week ending April u was
warmer than the average IN the IA
cific coast and Rocky mountain re-
gions, in the Missouri valley ana tne
northern districts to the eastward
II was too cool in the middle Atlah-
tic and southern states and decldeuiy
dry over the greater part of the cen
trail valley and middle Atlantic states.
Rain is badly needed throughout the
Rocky mountain districts and CEN
tral valleys, and would prove bene-
fetal in the middle Atlantic states,
while excess of moisture has hindered
farm work in portions of the central
gulf states. The latter part OF the
week was marked by abnormally hlgh
temperatures in Kansas and Nebras-
lia. intensifying the drought condl-
tions in eight states. The gen
eral weather conditions, although not
conducive to rapid advance OF Vegeta-
tion. were very favorable for farm
ing operations in nearly all parts OF
| the country.
The progress Of corn planting mas
been rather slow, except in Missouri
and the southern states, this work be-
ing about finished in the central ana
western gulf districts. \ large acre
age Of ground is prepared for plant
ing in the states of the central val
levs, and some planting has been done
in southern Illinois, but none else
where northward of the Ohio river
The early planted corn is coming up
in southern Kansas, where cultivation
has begun.
Winter wheat has continued to
make slow growth and on the whole,
is in less promising condition in the
principal winter wheat states OF the
central valleys than at the close OF
the previous week. Moisture and mild
er temperatures are generally needed
for this crop throughout these dis
trcts and also in the middle Allan
tic states. The outlook in California
continues promising and the crop has
experienced improvement on the
north Pacific coast
The germination Of early sown spring
wheat, over the southern portion of
the spring wheat region has been
slow and seeding has been retarded
by freezing in North Dakota. The
Red river valley lands in Minnesota
are drying nicely, and seeding began
on the 18th. Some resecding will be
necessary in Minnesota as result of
the dust storm Of April 10 and H.
Seeding has progressed fayorably on
the north Pacific coast,
In the Missouri and central Missis-
sippi valley states oats are making
slow growth and are much in need of
rain and warm weather. In the south
ern states very general improve
ment is indicated. Seeding is well
advanced in the northern districts,
excepting New England and the
northern portion of the middle At
lantic states.
Very good progress has been made
in cotton planting, except in por'
tions of Tennessee, the Carolinas and
Florida, and planting is nearing com
pletion over the southern portion OF
the cotton belt. Over most Of Texas
cotton is up to satisfactory stands,
