Spring wheat Harvest.

Spring wheat harvest is nearing compile
ton in the southern portion Of the spring
wheat region and Is advancing rapidly in
the central and northern portions. A con-
siderable part Of the crop in the Red river
valley is still very green and is r~Ipening
~uneven1y.
Oats harvest Is now practically finished
except over limited areas in extreme north
ern districts. and while e generally heavy
crop has been secured the quality In many
sections has been impaired after being in
shock as an injury by rains.
With a general absence Of rain in Texas
and scattered showers over the central por-
lions Of the middle and eastern districts,
the progress Of the cotton crop as q whole
has been favorable. Complaints Of rust and
shedding, however, are quite general, and
some premature opening is reported from
portions Of Georgia and South Carolina.
Early cotton is opening rapidly and picking
is progressing In Texas and in the eastern
districts under favorable conditions. I'M
interrupted sunshine and high temperatures
have checked the ravages Of boil worms and
weevil in Texas, but these pests continue to
cause considerable damage and in inundated
sections in that state the crop has been Sc
verely damaged in many sections.
The general outlook for apples continues
unfavorable Except In Oklahoma, Kansas.
Nebraska, Michigan and New England. And
while reports from New York vary, a light
crop is generally indicated.

eastern South Dakota. while some injury
was caused by excessive heat in Kansas and

In the Pacific coast the week was hot and
dry. and while the conditions were favor

in the principal corn states continues to be
promising. In portions Of southeastern
Missouri and southern Illinois the crop.
however, is suffering severely from drouth
