yornble--Too Hot in Central and
Enst Gulf States.

Washington, July 16.-The follow
ing is the weather bureaus weekly
summary of crop conditions:
Very favorable temperatures prevailed
the week ending July IA, in all districts east
of the Rocky mountains with the exception
of the central and east gulf states, which
have suffered somewhat from excessive
heat. A considerable portion of these last
mentioned districts have, however, re-
ceived much needed rains, relieving to a
great extent the severe drought that has
prevailed for several weeks, although more
rain is greatly needed In some sections.
Heavy rains have continued In the Nils.
souri, and Upper Mississippi valleys and
portions of the lake region delaying culu-
walton and causing destructive freshets IN
places. The central and southern Rocky
mountain regions have suffered somewhat
from low temperatures and frosts. Highly
favorable conditions prevailed on the Pa
ciic coast and especially In Oregon and
Washington.
The corn CROP as whole, in the prln-
cipal corn states, has made very favorable
progress. although needing cultivation In
portions of the Missouri and Upper Missls-
sippI valleys and lake region as result of
continued rains, which have also reduced
the acreage somewhat In Iowa. In the
southern states late corn has improved
somewhat. but the early crop is very poor.
In NEW England, New 1OrR ana NOTtN
Dakota corn is very backward.
Winter wheat harvest is nearing Com
pletion, except in the northern portion of
the winter wheat belt. Their crop has
experienced generally favorable conditions.
except in the Missouri valley, whore COM
plains continue of sprouting in stack and
shock. On the North Pacifis coast win
ter wheat is maturing nicely and harvest
will begin in Oregon in about ten days.
Spring wheat is now heading in the
northern portion of the spring wheat re-
gion, and the general outlook for this crop
continues promising. although 1t Is late
in portions of northern Minnesota. IN
Iowa, where the crop has been damaged
somewhat by rust, the outlook Is less
favorable.
Oats continue in promising condition. but
| lodging is reported quite extensively in
| Ohio. Harvesting has been Interrupted by
| wet weather in the Lower Missouri vai.
/, ley, but has made good progress else
| where.
In New England and Michigan the out
| look for apples continues promising and
less complaint of dropping is received from
| Missouri and Arkansas, but New York re-
ports less favorable prospects than in the
previous week. In the Middle Atlantic
and Ohio valley states an Indifferent croE
! is Indicated
| The week has been favorable for hayinS
except in portions of the Missouri valley
