| of Highly Favorable Weather Con-
ditions-Reports by States.
| The weekly crop report issued by the
! weather bureau says nearly the entire
country east of the Rocky Mountains has
| had a week of highly favorable weather
| conditions, and the central valleys lake
region, middle Atlantic States and por-
| tons of Texas and Oklahoma have re-
| ceived generally ample but in places I'M
evenly distributed rainfall.
| Except in portions of Iowa and Mis-
souri,, where corn planting has been in
| terfered with by heavy rains, this work
| has made very favorable progress in the
| States of the central valleys, and the
early planted is generally terminating
well. Some planting has been done in
| South Dakota, and planting will be be-
gun this week in Michigan. Prepare
| lions for planting in the extreme north
ern portion of the corn belt are we'll adj
vanced and the soil is in generally ex-
cellent condition. In the Southern States
| corn has made favorable progress, though
needing rain in portions of the east gulf
| districts.
| A very general Improvement in the
| condition of winter wheat is reported
| from the central valleys, lake region and
| middle Atlantic States. The crop, how
! ever, has suffered in portions of Nebras-
| ka, Kansas and Texas. and in the last
| named State has failed 50 rapidly in sec
| tons that some will be plowed up for
| other crops. Favorable reports come from
| California, except from the southern part
of the State. In Washington and Oregon
the crop, though late, is in promising con-
dition, especially in Oregon.
Spring wheat seeding has been delayed
in North Dakota and northern Mime
| sofa, but has made favorable progress in
| the southern part of the spring wheat
region, where the early sown has germi-
mated we'll and is in good condition and
growing vigorously.
Good stands of the early planted cotton
| are reported, but the late planted, espe-
cially i'll the central and eastern portions
of the cotton belt, is coming up irregu-
larry. Planting is nearly finished in the
| northern portion of the belt and the early
planted is in a good state of cultivation.
Some replanting has been necessitated
in Texas by high wind and drifting soil.
The prospect for peaches in the Ohio
NdlitS Is llOt promising, DuL SIScNIIcIc
the outlook is very favorable, although
dropping is reported from South Carolina
| and Georgia. The reports respecting
other fruits are generally encouraging.
