NATIONAL CROP SUMMARY.
Review Of Conditions Prevailing in the
Agricultural States.

Washington. Sept. 2.-The following
| is the weekly summary of the crop con-
ditions made by the agricultural de-
partment today:
Temperature conditions in the north
ern districts east of the Missouri wall
ley We're more favorable for maturing
crops than in the previous week, but
as in the two weeks Immediately pre-
feeding, excessively high tempera-
lures prevailed in central and west
gulf districts, including Oklahoma and
Indian territory. Excessive rains con-
tinued in the lower Missouri and Red
River of the North valley to the serious
detriment of the grain in shock and
stack, and with temperatures slightly
belo wnormal in Missouri valley. Ma
turity OF the crops has not advanced
rapidly. Continued absence of rain in
tensified the drought in the west gulf
districts and rain generally is needed in
the Ohio valley and in the coast dis
tricts from southern New England to
the Carolinas. Generally rains reliev-
ed drought conditions east of the gulf
districts. Frost, with ice, in exposed
places occurred in the northern Rocky
August 10Th. Generally favorable con-
ditions prevailed on the Pacific coast,
altho rather cool in the northern dis
tricts during the fore part of the week.
In the states of Missouri valley and
in portions of the upper Mississippi
valley corn made fair progress, but has
not matured rapidly, owing to low
and excessive moisture.
Dry, warm weather is greatly needed in
Missouri valley for maturity of corn,
Which will require practically month
in Iowa and eastern Nebraska. In Ill
inois, Indiana and Ohio maturity Of
corn has been more rapid. but the late
crop Is in need of rain in portions of
Indiana and Ohio. Early
corn is being cut in Missouri and Kan
sas and is being marketed and fed to
stock in the last named state. Rains
greatly interferred with threshing of
spring wheat turnout the Dakotas,
Iowa and Nebraska, and
sprouting in shock is extensively re-
ported. Harvesting is nearly finished
on the North Pacific coast. where
is progressing under favora-
BILE conditions with about average
yields.
Some Improvement in the outlook for
apples is Indicated in portions of the
central valleys and lake region, but
in the middle Atlantic states prospects
for the crop are considerably below
average. Flowing and fall seeding
have been very generally retarded in
the middle Atlantic states and Ohio
valley by dry weather and in the lower
and upper Mississippi valleys
by excessive moisture.
