CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Excessive Rains Throughout the
South Have Caused Great DAM
age to Growing Grains.

Washington June 1O.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
Excessive rains in the lower Mis-
souri,, central Mississippi and Ohio val
leys, Tennessee, The Carolinas and
Georgia have Interrupted farm work
and caused great damage to crops, es-
pecially in the central Mississippi and
lower Missouri valleys. the flood stage
in the Mississippi river at st. Louis be-
ing the highest since 1858, and that in
the Missouri river at Kansas City since
1914. The protracted and probably I'M
precedented spring drought continues
unbroken in northern New England
and in eastern New York (the weather
map of June 9 shows light rains have
fallen over much of this drought area
in the "a hours ending eight Il. IN. of
this date). Portions of the upper lake
region. central and west gulf states,
North Dakota and Montana are in need
of rain.
Much corn remains to be planted in
the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio vail
leys, where the early planted is great
ly in need of cultivation, and much had
drowned. Planting was resumed in
Nebraska and Iowa during the latter
part of the week. where under the most
favorable future conditions the acre
age will be reduced. Under more IA
vorable conditions planting in the mid
die and Atlantic states has been fin
ished.
Spring wheat continues in very
promising condition in the Dakotas
and generally ir Minnesota. On the
North Pacific coast spring wheat,
while needing rain. is doing well in
portions of WashiE gton.
The outlook for oats in New York
and Pennsylvania is poor; in the Ohio
valley a general Improvement is indi-
Gated; in the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys, where not damaged by
floods, the crop is in promising con-
dition.
The general outlook for apples in
New England and the middle Allan
tic states, except in Pennsy lvania. is
promising, and favorable reports are
also received flom Tennessee Iowa
and Wisconsin,. Excessive falling has
impaired the outlook in Ohio. Indiana
and Missouri and a short crop is in
Dictated in Arkansas and Nebraska.
The previously reported promising
condition of grass in the central val
legs continues, and Il decided i'm
provement is Indicated in the SOUTH
ern portion of the middle Atlantic
states, but in the northrn portion of
the last named district and in New
England the hay crop will be very
short.

KANSAS FLOODS.
Special Session Of the Legislature
Almost Certain.

Topeka. Kan. June 9.-It is re-
garded as practically certain that
there will be a special session of the
Kansas Legislature within two weeks
to appropriate money to relieve some
OF the damage caused by the flood
of week ago. kilograms are being
sent to all the members asking them
to serve without pay. Up to this time
replies from 20 have been received
who are favorable to the arrange
ment. 1t is understood that the gov
ernor is not favorable to a special
session for the purpose OF anrropri-
ating for the intlscrim;nate use of re-
| lieving the Hood sufferers. If a Spe
, cial session is called il will he for
the purpose of appropra'ing to build
bridges which have been washed
away by the flood Kansas City is
therefore especially interested in the
, session because there we're 13 Kansas
| City river bridges washed out in that
+; city. Three bridges were washed out
in Shawnee comfy besides the APP
proaches TO the MeIan bridge and the
street railway l1,itlge.
The governor is said to be opposed
| to calling special session for the
purpose of making Il general flood
relief appropriation: for the reason
that if it became known that such nc-
ton had been taken j. would ctfec-
tually prevent any further contrh,-
tons toward the relief of the suffer
ers. 1t has been suggested that one
thing the session should provide is
seed for the farmers in the Kaw
valley. These farmers, if they are
given potatoes Immediately, can
raise a good crop yet this season.
Other kinds of seed are also needed.
