THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
summary of the weekly Crop Re.
port of the United states Depnrt-
ment of Agriculture.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Following is
the agricultural departments weekly
summary of crop conditions:
The temperature conditions were
generally favorable in all districts
east of the Rocky mountains, al
though the week was decidedly cool
in the south Atlantic states and Mis-
souri, valley. Heavy rains retarded
work in Florida, portions of the CEN
trail and west gulf states and por-
tions of the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys, while a large part of
the middle and south Atlantic states
age. The middle and southern Rocky
mountain districts have received
abundant and much-needed rains The
week has been generally cool on the
Pacific coast, with rainfall slightly in
excess of the average in portions of
Oregon and Washington. Frosts oc-
CURED in the Rocky mountain dis
tricts. Missouri and upper Mississip-
pi valleyst and lake region. but were
less damaging than those of the previ-
ous week.
No further material damage by
froSts has been sustained by the corn
crop during the week. The reports
indicate. however, that previous esti-
mates of injury by the frosts of the
18th and 18th have been conservately
stated and that large part of the
late crop over the northern districts
has been very seriously injured. Over
the southern portion of the corn belt
an exceptionally fine crop is now as
sured.
Cotton is very nearly all open and
picking has been actually carried on,
being practically completed in sec
tions. In Florida. Texas and portions
of Louisiana and Mississippi rains
have caused considerable damage to
open cotton, but We're of considerable
benefit to the late planted in Texas
and Oklahoma.
In Michigan. Wisconsin. Iowa, Mis-
souri,. Kansas and portions of Illinois
the reports indicate good yield of
apples of fine quality, but in the Ohio
valley. middle Atlantic states and
New England a generally light yield
is indicated.
Flowing and fall seeding have pro-
greSsed favora5ly. except in portions
Of the middle Atlantic states, where
the soil was too dry.
