rainfall was variable, ranging from less
than an inch to over 500 inches, about

much aoove the normal amount ex-
tens,ve areas on the { ds- river aud

In general the crop situation has
been improved IN the larger part of
the state 10y the few DAYS dry weather
and sunshine. The condition of corn
is unusually variable ps to size end
amount lof cultivation: but probably
three fourths of the planted area Is
fairly clean and up to normal stand
ard
Dry weather and sunshine are now
imperatively needed for ripering and
harvesting small grain and securing
the bourtlfu' hay crop. Spring wheat
In sections where the acreage is largest
has been doing well, with moderate
damage by rust. Oats badly lodged in
the central valleys, but the state aver
age is nearly up to the norme', aud
the output depends wholly upon the
seasonable weather in the near failure.
The potato crop is very promising,
though there are some reports of
damage from excessive moisture.
