WEATHER.

Unus uaily high temperatures
prevailed in all districts, the
mean temperature for the week
being degrees daily above the
normal. The maximum temper

degrees, and the minimum tenn
peratures from g. to Il degrees.
In some of the central and sou tn
ern parishes maximum temper

CURED several times during the
week.
Drouthy conditions. with an
excess of sunshine. prevailed
generally during the week. en-
cept in a few widely srattnred
localities in the central and
southern portions af the state,
where light and poorly distribu-
ted showers occurred early in
the week.
CROP CONDITIONS.
Cotton: The generally dry
weather has not been favorable
for cotton. The plant is holding
its own rs a rule, but its growth
is being checked in many local
tiles, and only a few localities re-
port the crop excellent. Lice are
damaging the plant in several
parishes.
Sugar Cane: Scattered thun-
de" showers have occurred in
widely scattered sections of the
cane growing region. bat the
rainfall has not been sufficient
for the needs Of the crop. While

well, but fears are entertained in
some sections that unless rain
falls soon the water in the canals

Corn: The continuous drouth
is seriously injuring corn IN all

report received states that the
crop needs rain. In some sec

and the crop is already cut short;
this is especially the case in
some parishes over the central
and southern portions of the
State. Over the northern por-
tons OF the State good rains
would give a good corn crop.
Hail damaged corn in two or
three parishes over small areas.
Miscellaneous: Truck gardens
