 Somewhat less than the average warmth was received, the nights being rather cool ; the first two days were dry. but intermlt- tent and we'll distributed showers during the most of the remainder of week, with heavy rains in some localities fin north ern and eastern counties kept the ground too wet for work. Cotton continues to im- prove slowly, the plants still being gen orally small, but well rooted, though it IS getting quite grassy; cut worms are damaging the lowland crop in places, and there is some complaint of damage by grasshoppers; chopping Is being delayed by wet weather and scarcity of labor; the crop, as a whole, continues from two to three weeks late. as compared with last season. and needs sunshine and warmth. kEarly corn is growing well, but getting grassy and needs cultivation, though some of it has been laid by" and some is in silk and tassel; fate, or lowland corn Ia making fairly good growth, but worms continue seriously damaging to this crop. FThe harvesting of wheat and oats is pro- gressing slowly, oats continuing to make R generally good yield, with wheat prom Using below the average, though none has been thrashed. Gardens and all minor lcrops continue fairly a0od. though late. Hexcept melons and cantaloupes, which are generally quite backward. and bugs are damaging melons in many patches. Irish ipotatoes continue to make an excellent lyteld, and sweet potatoes are doing well. Iwith more being set out All grasses are tgrowing well, promising good hay crops, and pastures are excellent. Peaches are ripening slowly, and continue to promise a poor yield; pears are not much better: plums and apples are ripening, and the laatter will make a good yield; grapes con- Ifinue we'll fruited.

CORN NEEDS HEAT
A Large Part Now Safe, but Some
Immature and in Need Of
Good Weather.
Frosts Did Little Injury Spring
Wheat in the Shock
Was Hurt.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The weather bureaus
weekly summary of crop conditions is as fol-
lows:
general frost turnout the central valleys and as
far south as the northern portion Of the central
gulf states, the damage has not been serious ex-
and Nebraska. the Dakotas Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and New England. The south Atlantic states
have suffered from excessive moisture, while
the heavy rains of the previous week over the
northern portion Of Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi valley delayed threshing of spring wheat
and caused grain in shock to shrink. Drouth
has been largely relieved in the eastern and gulf
states, but continues in the Ohio valley and west
gulf states. The Pacific coast states have ex-
perienced very favorable week.
Notwithstanding the occurrence of light to
heavy frosts generally turnout the corn belt, the
corn crop has escaped injury, except in the
| western portions of Kansas and Nebraska and in
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. While
low temperatures have prevented rapid ripening,
especially over the western districts, the crop
! as a whole has advanced fayorably, altho the
late planted In the Ohio valley and Tennessee
has suffered from drought. A large part Of the
crop is safe, but the bulk of the unmatured
will require from one to two weeks of favorable
weather.
The weather has been favorable for the COM
pletion of spring harvest on the north Pacific
coast. In the Dakotas and Minnesota. spring
wheat in shock has been injured and threshing
delayed by the hot weather.
| Except in portions of the eastern districts of
| the cotton belt where cotton picking has been
| interrupted by rains, the weather conditions
have been very favorable for gathering the crop.
| Late tobacco has suffered from drought in Ten
| nessee and Kentucky, and heavy rains in North
Carolina and frosts causing some injury in Ken
lucky. Damp weather has proved injurious to
| tobacco in barns In many lands. Bulk of the
crop is now housed.
Reports continue to indicate extensive preva-
| lence of blight and decay in potatoes
Flowing and seeding have advanced satisfac-
| torily except in the Ohio valley and Tennessee,
where the soil has been too dry, and in the
northern portion of the middle Atlantic states,
| where there has been too much rain.
