WARM WEATHER HELPS CROPS
Corn Grows Fast Everywhere, but
Rain IL Now Needed in Places.

The weather bureaus weekly sum
mary of crop conditions is as follows:
While complaints of cool nights dur
ing the early part of the week are report
ed from the States of the central Mis-
sissippi and Ohio valleys, temperature
conditions throughout the country as o
whole have been very favorable, the up
per Missouri and upper Mississippi val
leys, lake region and Rocky Mountain
districts, the greater part of which has
suffered from abnOrmally low tempera-
ture for several weeks, receiving more
than normal heat.
Portions of the south Atlantic State.
experienced heavy rains. while the Ohio
valley, the greater part of Texas and
the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast
districts are suffering from drouth.
On the whole the corn crop has made
favorable progress. especially over the
central and western portions of the corn
belt. the most decided advance being re-
ported from Nebra6ka and Kansas. In
the upper Ohio valley corn Is suffering
seriously for rain, which is also needed
in portions of Illinois and Missouri and
much of the crop in Iowa will suffer un-
less rain falls soon. The reports Indicate
that early corn will be safe from frost
by Sept. 10 to Oct. 1 and late corn from
Oct. l to Is.
Considerable spring wheat remains to
be cut in North Dakota. but harvesting
is practically finished elsewhere in the
spring wheat region, and thrashing is in
progress. In southern Minnesota much
grain in shock Is damp. In South Da
kota, Nebraska and Kansas the weather
has been highly favorable for stacking
and thrashing. Harvesting is nearly fin
ished in Oregon and advancing rapidly
in Washington the grain being of supe-
rior quality.
Cotton has suffered materially from
heavy rains and lack of sunshine over
large part of the central and eastern
districts of the cotton region. The plant,
however. is generally well fruited
throughout the belt. A little picking has
been done throughout the southern por-
tions of the belt, but this work Is not
yet general.
The condition of tobacco In Tennessee
is exceptionally favorable and fair crop
is promised in Kentucky. A fair to good
crop is being cut in Maryland and Vir-
sinia.
Reports indicate a general decline in
the condition of apples, except in tie
southern portion Of middle Atlantic
States, where the outlook continues fav-
orable.

George was caught mapping, says the

Nothing very dreadful for George in

know that George has two sweethearts
and for the life of him couldn't decide
whose voice it was, which made it
very embarrassing situation for him.
A wrong guess would lead to compli-
cations awful to think Of But a
Happy thought inspired George and he
