WEEKLY REPORT ON CROPS.
Whent Harvest In Progress ns Far
North ns southern KANSAS
and Missouri.

Washington, June 1.-THE weather
bureaus weekly crop bulletin is as
follows:
The week ending June Is was alb
normally cool in nearly all districts
east of the Rocky mountains, the min
imum temperatures from the 10th to
the 18th throughout the central val
leys and southern states being the
lowest of record for the second dec.
adc of June. and heavy frosts were OF
general occurrence in the upper Mis-.
souri, valley. Light frosts as far south
as Tennessee. Under these conditions
the growth of vegetation has been
slow, but with a general absence Of
rain. or light local showers. in the
central valleys, much needed cultiva-
tion has made favorable progress
Generally favorable conditions pre-
vailed on the Pacific coast, except dur
ing the early part of the week in
Washington, where drying northeriy
winds proved injurious in some Sec
tions. The week was unseasonably
warm in the eastern portions of Ore
gon and Washington, and in Idaho
and northern Nevada.
While planting, replanting and cu,-
tivation of corn in the central valleys
have been vigorously pushed consid-
cradle planting remains unfinished in
the northern district. Corn is unust-
ally late, and has made very slow
growth under the low temperatures of
the past week.
Winter wheat harvest is in progress
as far north as the southern portions
OF Kansas Missouri, Illinois, Indiana
and Virginia. While an Improvement
in the condition of this crop is indi-
Gated in northern Illinois, Ohio and
over the northern portion of the mid
die Atlantic states. it has suffered
deterioration over n large part of the
winter wheat belt as result of in
sects and increasing rust.
In California the crop is maturing
rapidly and harvest is in progress in
the southern portion, with heavy
yields. In Oregon and Washington.
winter wheat is heading short, but
with good heads in Oregon. The crop
was threatened by hot, drying winds
in Washington during the latter part
of the week, but escaped with slight
injury.
Spring wheat is in generally thrifty
condition. but needs rain in portions
of the Dakotas. Over the southern
portion of the spring wheat region the
condition of the crop is very promis-
ing. and marked improvement IL
shown in Oregon, but in Washington
it has experienced trying conditions,
although apparently not seriously in-
jured.
Oats have made favorable advance
ment in the lower~Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys, but need rain in
the Dakotas.
Cotton continues very backward,
having made slow growth under alb
normally low temperatures

Railroad Commission Acts.

The state railroad commission has
promulgated its through class rates
for shipments of merchandise over
two lines of railroad not under one
management. About two years ago
the commission made joint rates on
through shipments. but the supreme
court of the United States upheld the
decision of the lower court in which
an injunction was granted prevent
ing the commission from enforcing
the rates. At the last session of the
legislature an act was passed enlarg-
ing the powers of the commission,
giving it authority to make such joint
rates 1t is claimed the joint rates
are from 10 to 10 per cent lower than
the old rates. A copy of the circu-
lar will be mailed by the commission
on application.

STRIKE TALK SILENCED.
President Nitchelrs Advice Prevails
In the Convention of Miners
mt Scranton, Ia.

Scranton. Pa. June 17.-There will
be no str;se in the anthracite region
growing out of the refusal of the OPP
orators to recognize the credentials of
District Presidents Nichols, Fahy and
Dcttrey, instructed by the joint ex-
ecutiye board of the United Mine
Workers as the miners repre- senta-
tiyes on the board of Cancellation.
The convention of the United Mine
Workers, Tuesday, elected the three
district presidents by districts as
their representatives. and the opera
tors, through President George +.
Baer, of the Reading company, an
nounced that this action was satisfac-
tory.
During the night and early Tuesday
morning Mr.. Connell, representing the
operators on the conciiiation board,
and President Mitchell, were in COM
munication through Mr.. Charles +.
Neill, who was sent here as a peace
envoy by members of the strike COM
mission, and the result was tenta-
tive agreement that If the miners in
the three separate district conven-
tions elected representatives, those
representatives would not be objected
to by the operators. This proposition
was submitted to the convention, and
little time was wasted in complying
with the suggestion. The delegates
from each OF the three districts voted
separately, and each of the three dis
trict presidents was in turn formally
elected to represent the miners of
this district on the conciliation board.
There was burst of loud and long
applause when President Mitchell an
nounced that the operators, through
President Baer of the Reading COM
pany, had authorized the statement
that the action of the convention was
satisfactory. Mr.. Mitchell during the
Noon recess, had communicated indi-
reetly with President Baer, through
ir. Connell and Mr.. Neill. The con-
ention elected President Mitchell as
the legal representative of the miners

tion boar

Crop Summary.

Following is the agricultural bu-
reau's summary on the condition OF
crops in Arkansas for the week end.
Ing Saturday, June 10: The week
has been cool and dry, except for
showers in the southern part of the
state on the Sth. The weather has
been little too cool for the proper
growth of vegetation, but favorable
for the cultivation of crops. and con
siderable progress was made in clean
ing fields of weeds and grass; but
there is still much of this work to be
done. Cotton has made but little i'm
provement on account of the cool
weather. As rule the plant is very
small and the stand only fair. There
are many reports of lice infesting the
cotton. Chopping is well advanced.
but this work has been delayed to
some extent by the scarcity of labor
Corn has made fair progress, and
while the plant is small it has good
color. Cultivation has been general
and some has been laid by. Wheat
and oats are ripening, and cutting has
begun in some sections. Only a fair
yield is expected. In many localities
oats are entire failures. Rust is re-
ported in many fields of wheat. Po-
tatoes, garden truck and meadows are
doing we'll and in the more favored
sections potatoes are being harvested
and good yields secured. Peaches as
a rule are total failures. Apples are
scarce and of inferior quality.
