the Maturing Corn Crop.

Wsshington, Sept 2--Following is
the weekly summary OF crop condi-
sious msde up BY the Agricultural De-
partmeut:
The temperature conditions In the
districts east of the Missouri
Valley during the week ending Sept 1
we're more favorable for maturing crops
than In the previous week, but, - In
the two weeks Immediately preceding,
excessively nigh temperature prevailed
in the Central and West Gulf districts,
including Oklshoma and Indian Terri
tory. Excessive rains have continued
In the Lower Missouri and Red River
Of the North Valleys, 70 the serious
detriment Of grain in shock and stack,
and, with temperatures slightly below
the normal in the Missouri Valley, the
maturity of crops has not advanced
rapidly. Continued absence Of rain has
intensified the drought In the West
Gulf district, and rain is generally
needed In the Ohio Valley and IN coast
districss from Southern New England
to the Carolinas. Generally rains have
relieved drought conditions in the East
Gulf district Frost with ice In ex-
posed places, occurred In the Northern
Rocky Mountain region on the morn
ing Of August g. Generally favorable
conditions prevailed on the Pacific
coast, although rather cool in the
northern districts during the forepari
of the week.
Rain Needed In Ohio.
In the States Of the Missouri Valley
and in portions of the Upper Mississippi
corn has made fair progress. but has
not matured rapidly, owing to low tenn
perature and excessive moisture. Dry,
warm weather is greatly needed in the
Missouri Valley for the maturity o.
corn, which will require practically 9
month in Iowa and Eastern Nebraska
In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio the,ma
turity Of corn has been more rapid. bu
the late crop is in need of rain in por

Early corn Is being cut in Missouri ant
