Des NIones. July 22,-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today, as follows
The week was seasonably warm, with
two to three fair days for haying and
harvesting on dry upland. General
rains occurred on the 18th to 18th, ana
severe local windstorms with heavy
C.ownpours swept over extensive areas
in the southwest. south central south :
east and east central districts. causing
damage to small grain. corn and may
crops that can not as yet be estimated
The most damaging effects We're
wrought in the section southeast of q
line from Page to Dubuque; but nearly
Ill parts of the state suffered some
damage from excessive moisture. The
worst feature of the crop situation is
noted in the reports from nearly all dis
tricts that the grain crops are ready to
harvest and the fields are too wet to be
entered by harvesters. Oats are badly
lodged in one-fourth to one-half of the
area seeded. Wheat and oats are gem
orally we'll filled. and the damage by
rust is not very great: but the situation
is, critical and normal weather is inn
reratively needed to save these crops
The reports indicate that corn has sui
fered the least damage, and the condi-
ton of that great staple in we'll culti-
waited fields is still quite promising
Much hay is yet uncut. Pasturage is
bulky. but not in prime condition, for
stock in the flooded regions. Apples are
badly windfallen in many localities.

The National Summary.

Washington. July 22.-1he weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions. issued today. follows:
The lower Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi valleys and lake region contin-
ued to suffer from excessive rains,
which also interrupted farm work in
the Ohio valley and portions of the
middle Atlantic states and New Eng
land. Much injury to crops and other
property resulted from overflows in
Iowa and portions of Illinois. Missouri
and Michigan. The drought has been
largely relieved in the southern states,
but extensive areas in that section are
still much in need of rain, especially
northern portions, extending from Ok
lahoma eastward to the Carolinas.
Temperature conditions as whole
have been favorable. altho rather low
in northern Rocky mountain districts.
North Pacific coast states sustained
considerable damage from high winds
and the Dakotas and Minnesota from
hailstorms in scattered localities. The
corn crop made splendid progress in the
states of the central valleys, except in
Iowa and limited portions of Missouri
and Illinois, the condition of the crop
in Iowa being fairly good on we'll titled
uplands, but great damage resulted
from floods on river bottoms in the
southern and eastern portions of that
state and in northern Illinois. Highly
favorable reports are received from
Nebraska. Kansas and the greater part
of Missouri and Illinois. and decided
Improvement in the condition OF the
crop in the Ohio valley is indicated.
Rains interfered With the harvesting
of winter wheat where unfinished IN

central valleys, while considerable
wheat in the shock in the lower Mis-
souri, valley has been damaged. Har-
yestine continues in California and is
begun in RECON, where wheat is filling
nicely.
The crop in both Oregon and Wash
ington has. however, sustained consid-
cradle damage from recent hiSh winds.
Spring wheat has advanced favorably
in the principal sprins wheat states,
but sustained injury i'm scattered To-
calities from hail storms.
Oats harvest is finished in southern
states and is in progress in the CEN
trail valleys and While lodging is ex-
tensively reported from the Ohio. upper
Mississippi and Missouri valleys and
lake region. the general condition of the
crop continues satisfactory.
Apple prospects are somewhat i'm
proved in Missouri and promise We'll

braska and Michigan. The outlook in
New York is less promising, but con-
tinues favorable in New England. Cen
orally turnout the Ohio valley and mid
die Atlantic states indications are for
a very poor crop.
Haying has been interrupted and
much hay spoiled by rains in the lower
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys
