CONDITION OF CROPS
Government Weather Bureau Pre-
diets Good Wheat Yield--Rain
Needed in tennessee.

Washington. May 1.-THE weather bu-
reau's weekly summary Of crop condi-
tons says:
The week ending May Is was one of
highly favorable temperature conditions
IN all districts east Of the Rocky noun
tains, with abundant rainfall over the
greater portion OF the central valleys,
lake region and middle Atlantic states.
Drouth conditions in the Ohio valley
have been effcctually relieved. except i'm
southern Illinois, and while partially
broken over the greater part of the mid
die and south Atlantic states, more rain
was needed at the close of the week In
those districts. Rain is much needed in
Tennessee, over the eastern portions of
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Heavy
rains retarded work and caused some
damage by washing and overflOwing In
the lake regions, in the states of the Ohio
and lower Mississippi valleys
On the Pacific coast the first part of
the week was too cold I'm Washington
and oregon, but more favorable condi-
tiOns prevailed during the latter part. In
california, with the exception of drying
winds, the week, though cooler than
usual, was generally. favorable. Heavy
fr0sts occurred on the 18th and 10Th in
the middle and southern Rocky mountain
districts, doing considerable damage.
An Improvement i'm the condition of
winter wheat is reported in Kansas, Ne
braska, portions of Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin, and the crop continues in fine
condition in Missouri, except in a few
southeastern counties. The reports from
tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio. the middle,
south Atlantic and east gulf states. show
that the crop is heading low and indicate
very light yields
Harvesting continues in Texas and will
soon begin in Arkansas Oklahoma and
southern Kansas. On the Pacific coast
the outlook continues favorable except in
southern California. The crop is. how
ever, reported as unusually weedy i'm ore
gon- In California, winter wheat is ripen-
ing rapidly and harvest will soon begin
in the San Joaquin valley.
Early spring wheat has made vigorous
growth and that later sown is coming
up we'll Seeding is practically finished.
Orchards have sustained some damage
by local storms in the Missouri valley.
and on the whole the outlook is less en-
cOuraging than early in the season.
Peaches are dropping extensively in the
middle and south Atlantic states.

said.
