Although the week averaged some

temperature conditions We're generally
Favorable In districts east of the Rock

coming serious in the Carolinas and In
ample moisture and favorable tempera-
lures corn has made good growth
throughout the central valleys, but Is
much in need of cultivation lin the
states of the lower Missouri valley and
Wisconsin. In the lower Ohio valley
and in Tennessee the crop is well cul-
tivated and In promising condition,
but in TIE central and west gulf states
is suffering much from drought. the
warm showery weather of the past
week has been favorable to the devel
opment of rust in winter wheat in por
tions of Missouri and Indiana, and has
caused lodging to some extent in Illinois
and Missouri. With these exceptions,
a general improvement IN condition of
crops is indicated.
Spring wheat has made rapid growth
and is in promising condition through
out the spring wheat region, except on
the lowlands, where it has suffered
from excessive moisture.
In the state of Missouri and the up
per Mississippi valley and lake regions
oats have made good progress and are
in ii promising condition, although too
