fine WEEK FOR CORN
Good Progress Made in the
Greater Part of the
Corn Belt.

Washington, July 31.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions follows:
Drought of considerable severity gen
orally prevails from Virginia and the
Carolinas westward over kentucky,
Tennessee and the northern portion of
the central and east gulf states, includ-
ing eastern Arkansas, southeastern
Missouri, and southern portions of I'LL
nois and Indiana, while heavy and
damaging rains have continued in Tex
as, portions of the Missouri valley and
lower lake regions. Rains are generally
badly needed in the central and south-
crn Rocky mountain districts. Tempera-
ture conditions have been highly favor
able, except i'm New England, New
York and Texas, where 1t has been too
cool, and in California, where excessive
heat has caused some deciduous fruit
to lipen faster than could be handled.
Theacorn crop has experienced anoth-
er week of exceptionally favorable
conditions over much the greater part
of the principal corn area: the least
favorable reports being received from
southeastern Missouri and southern
Illinois, whore the crop is being injured
by drought. A fine yield is promised
in Kansas. Nebraska, Indiana and over
much of the greater part of Missouri,
Illinois and Ohio.
In Iowa where the crop has suffered
much i'm previous weeks from heavy
rains and lack of cultivation. corn is
improving and in early fields is earring
heavily. In the middle Atlantic state
and to the southwark of the Ohio river.
corn has suffered much from draught
in sections. especially early planted.
Late spring wheat needs rain in por-
lions of South Dakota; rust is appear
ing in North Dakota. but on the whole
the condition is very promising. The
crop is rpening rapidly in the north
ern po-tion and harvesting has begun
In the southern portion of the spring
wheat region. In portion; of southeast
crn Minnesota the fields are too wet
for binders
Oats harvesting is progressing under
difficulties in the upper Mississippi
valley and lake region, where the crop
is badly lodged and fields in some Sec
lions are too wet for reapers.

GREAT DAMAGE
DONE TO CROPS
Destructive Wind, Hail and
Rain Storm in North

western Part Of tho State Al
most Swept Bare of
Crops.

ST. Paul, Mimi, July 31.-A special to-
the Pioneer Press from Grand Forks,
n. d., says
Late reports show that the storm Of
Monday was probably the most wide
spread and destructive of any that has
ever visited the state. An immense
wave seems to have traversed the
northeastern part of the state, develop
Ing centers here and there. which Wis
ltcd various localities with wind, hail
and rain. Damage was done in Penn
bina Wabash, Grand Forks. Ramsey
Trail. Nelson and Cavalier counties,
the losses being so numerous and so
Widespread that it is as yet impossible
to give an accurate estimate of their
total. Hail belts varying in width and
severity are scattered everywhere, and
the damage by wind and lightning Isl
considerable.
The section which appears to have
suffered most is that in belt crossing
the Great Northern line near Michigani
.,ity.
Along the road from few miles east!
Of Niagara TO west of Mapes the crops
are literally pounded into the ground.
This hail belt Is fully ten miles wide,l
and extends from north of DEVILS.
Lake We'll into Grand Forks county,;
through one of the best farming regions
Of the state.
The Insurance men are busy figuring
out their losses, but refuse to hazard a
Eucss at the aggregate. The storm will
make bad hole in the crop, and ma
tcrially affect implement dealers
sales.
Michigan City, N. d., July so.-Mon-
day nights storm was one Of the worst
ever experienced here. The wind was
very nigh and was accompanied by rain
and hail 1t wrecked several large
buildings here and a score or more

more clearly shown in offers made TIC
Russian exporters by representatives
of the Nobel and Rothschild interests
Tor the absorption of their output The
exporters have been forbidden to sell

at a price arranged by them. or to fight
the combined fore es of the three oil

This offer was made openly and
with the idea of maintaining prices,
