WEATHER TOO COLD AND WET
Conditions During the Last Week Not
Favorable for Ripsning Crops.
CORN GREATLY IN NEED OF MORE HEAT
Spring Wheat Harvest fin the North
west lie Not Yet Finished, Hav-
ing Been Delayed by the
Continued Showers.

WASHINGTON. Aug. ss.-Following II
the Agricultural departments weekly sum.
mary Of crop conditions:
AS a whole the weather conditions cas-
OF the Rocky mountains have not beer
favorable, being too cool in the northern
districts eastward Of the Missouri valley
with too much moisture In portions of the
central valleys, while excessively hot in
the southern states, with drouth of greater
or less severity generally throughout the
cotton belt.
Although cool, the conditions were fairly
favorable for maturing crops in the Ohio
valley and over the southern portion of the
middle Atlantic states, fs well as on the
Pacific coast. ftt
Corn is greatly in need of warm, dry
weather throughout the northern portion
OF the corn belt, where the abnormally cool
weather of the last two weeks has greatly
retarded its maturity. Over the southern
portion of the corn belt an excellent crop
Of early corn is now practically assured.
In portions Of low and central Illinois corn
has badly lodged, as a result of local
storms.
Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the
northern portion Of the Red River valley,
where 1t has been interrupted by frequent
showers, which have also seriously inter-
fered with stacking and threshing. Sprout-
ing and rotting In stack and shock are re-
ported from Iowa and in southern Mime,
sofa threshed wheat is damp and discolored.
Harvest is about three -fourths finished in
oregon and will be completed in Washing
ton during the present week, with yields
about the average, though less than ex-
pected In Washington.
A decided deterioration in the condition
of cotton is reported generally through
out the central and western portions of
the cotton belt. as we'll as over a large
portion Of the eastern districts. The most
reports are from the Carolinas.
In North Carolina the condition Of the
crop continues very promising, although
the prevalence Of rust is widespread. In
stin soils in South Carolina new growth
is blooming and fruitful, but on sandy
soils rust, shedding and premature open
ing are prevalent.
Throughout the central and western dis
tricts with the exception Of northern Mis-
sissippi and portions Of Oklahoma and
Territory, where the crop is doing
well, the reports indicate a decided decline
in its condition. rust, shedding and pre-
mature opening being general. In Texas
the deterioration has been pronounced and
the most favorable future weather
a yield in excess Of the average
is improbable.
