NEBRASKA CROPS ARE GOOD
Early Planted Corn Is Growing weu
and Winter wheat Makes
Progress.

WASHINGTON. May 2O.-The weather
bureau weekly summary OF crop condition
Is as follows
The drouth conditions prevailing at the
close of the previous week in the South
Atlantic and east gulf states. have been
largely relieved except in southern Florida,
but the continued dry weather in the Ohio
valley and middle Atlantic states with
lower Temperatures during the first half Of
the week over the northern portion of the
middle Atlantic states and In New England,
have proved unfavorable, while the Da-
kotas, Minnesota and portions OF Iowa. have
suffered from excessive moisture.
Frosts, more or less, were quite general
In the lake region, upper Ohio valley, and
in the northern portions Of the middle At
lsntic states and New England. The tenn
perature conditions in the lower Ohio, Mis-
sissippi and Missouri valleys and through
out the eastern Rocky mountain slope were
highly favorable. but on the north Pacific
coast, and in the middle plateau division
the week was too cool.
Corn planting has made favorable pro-
gress in the central valleys. except in
Iowa. where 1t has been delayed by rains
and is nearing completion in southern Ne
braska and Illinois. The early planted
is growing vigorously in Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Missouri and Nebraska. and is in fine
condition in Texas, where a considerable
portion of the crop is made. Cutworms
are causing considerable SamaEe in northern
Missouri, and in the upper Ohio valley and
while good stands are reported In the mid
die Atlantic states, low temperatures have
been unfavorable.
Winter wheat has experienced no material
improvement in the states of the Ohio val
ley. In Missouri the crop continues in
exceptionally promising condition, although
some lodging is reported, and further i'm
provement in Nebraska, and Arkansas and
more favorable conditions in northern Kan
sas are indicated. The crop has made
vigorous growth in Oklahoma and harvest
ing, with light yields, is in progress in
Texas. On the Pacific coast winter wheat
has made favorable advancement and Is
ripening in San Joaquin valley.
Under exceptionally favorable tempera-
ture, termination of spring wheat has been
rapid and over the southern portion Of the
spring wheat region the early sown is max
ing vigorous growth, but continued wet
weather still delays seeding on lowland In
the Red River valley.
The oat crop IS much in need Of rain In
the Ohio valley and the reports from the
gulf states are generally unfavorable. In
the middle Atlantic states and the Missouri
valley the general outlook is satisfactory.
The cotton crop is in promising condition
generally throughout the cotton belt.
The stands of tobacco in the Carolinas
and Virginia are irregular.
On the whole the fruit outlook is less ia
vorable. Peaches are dropping very ex-
| tensively in the east gulf states.
Except in the Ohio valley and middle At
lantic states there has been further i'm
provement In the condition Of grass.

Iowa Crop Conditions.

Following is the report of the Iowa
weather bureau for the week eLftsg Nay
49, 1902: The first half of the week was
cool and wet, with excess of cloudiness; the
last half much warmer, with heavy local
showers In northern and central districts.
The average temperature was somewhat
above the normal. Conditions were highly
beneficial to small grain and grass, es-
pecially in sections where the rainfall was
abundant; but there was considerable delay
in corn planting operations. The work,
however, is we'll advanced in the larger
part of the state, and in early planted fields
a fair stand has been secured and cultiva-
tion is in progress. The reports show about
the usual amount Of damage to corn by cut
worms and wire worms, and some replant-
ing will be necessitated. The early potato
crop is very promising. and garden truck
generally is well advanced. The ideal con-
dition of the soil and subsoil is the most
encouraging feature OF the crop situation.
and preparation for seeding and planting
has been unusually thorough. The orchard
fruits give fair promise.
