CROP CONDITIONS.
Seasons in Several Districts Are Re.
ported Somewhat Backward.

Washington, April 15.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditiOns is as follows: Although the
temperature since March l has aver
aged above the normal over the north
ern portion of the country east of the
Rocky mountains. the season is report
ed as backward in these districts, ex-
cept in New England and New York.
where it is from one to two weeks
earlier than the average. The season
is also backward in the Southern states.
The week ending April IA was cold in
the Central valleys and over the in
terror portions of the Atlantic coast
and east Gulf districts, although milder
temperatures prevailed during the lat
ter part Of the week in the last named
districts. Corn planting is nearing
completion in the west Gulf states and
has made favorable progress in the
south Atlantic and east Gulf districts
and Tennessee.
Eastward OF the Mississippi no corn
has been planted northward of Ten
nessee excepting little in southern
Virginia. In Texas and Louisiana
much of the crop is up to fine stands
and cultivation has begun.
While the growth of winter wheat
has been slow, a very general improve
ment is reported from the principal
winter wheat states. Spring wheat
seeding is well advanced in the south
ern portion of the spring wheat region,
and little has been sown in southern
North Dakota. A severe dust storm in
southern Minnesota on the 10th and
18th uncovered much of the sown
grain. Warmth and moisture are much
needed for termination.
Dat seeding is well advanced in the
states of the Missouri valley, but has
made less favorable progress in the
Ohio valley.
The fruit outlook, except for peaches
in some districts. is promising.
