(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, d. c., July 22.-The Wealth
or Bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions says:
The lower Missouri and upper Missis-
sippi vallies and Lake region have con-
tniued to suffer from excessive rains
which have also interrupted farm work
liz the Ohio Valley and in portions of the
Middle Atlantic States and New England.
Much injury to crops and other property
has resulted from overhows in Iowa
and portions Of Illinois, Missouri and
Michigan. Drought has been largely re-
Iieved in the Southern States, but extern
sivc areas in that section are still much
in need of rain, especially the northern
portions, extending from Oklahoma east
ward TO the Carolinas.
Although generally improved in condi-
ton. cotton continues to suffer from
drought in portions of the Carolinas, over
the north central portions of the cotton
belt and in extreme northwestern and
southwestern Texas. In much the great
or part of the last mentioned State the
crop is normally developed and is heavily
fruited, with ample moisture for present
needs. A material Improvement is noted
in portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama and the crop continues in gen
orally promising condition in Georgia.
Over much of the greater part of the
central and eastern districts the plant
continues small, and blooming to top is
extensively reported.
In Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland
the condition of tobacco is somewhat
less favorable than in the previous week,
hut The crop has done we'll in Indiana,
Ohio and Virginia. Cutting and curing
ere progressing favorably in the Caro-
lnas.
