The week ending sept. IA was ex-
cessively wet in the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi valleys and upper lake region,
while drouth conditions over the
greater part of the southern states and
Ohio valley have become more serious.
The temperature conditions in the GEN.
trail valleys and Atlantic coast districts
we're highly favorable, but abnormally
cool weather prevailed in the central
and northern Rocky mountain districts
and upper Missouri valley. Damaging
frosts are reported in some sections.
Except in Iowa, northern Missouri
and eastern Nebraska, where excessive
moisture has prevented rapid ripening,
the corr crop has made satisfactory
progress, the bulk of the early planted
over the southern portion of the belt
being practically safe from frost. In
Iowa, northern Missouri and eastern
Nebraska the advance has been very
slow and the bulk of the crop over
the northern portion of the corn belt
will require from two to three weeks
of ripening weather. With the excep-
ton of the Dakotas no serious injury
has resulted from cold.
Further delay in thrashing Of spring
wheat east of the Rocky mountains
has resulted from excessive rains, and
there has been considerable damage to
wheat in stack and shock. Delay in
thrashing and injury to grain are also
reported from Washington, Oregon
and Idaho.
In the cotton belt shedding and rust
are extensive, and quite general com
plants of premature opening are re-
ceived from the central and eastern
districts. The greater part of the
cotton belt is now suffering from
drouth. and boil worms are destructive
in localities. Picking is progressing
rapidly.
Tobacco harvest has made favor

where it has been delayed by rains,
In Kentucky considerable is being cut
green on account of drouth. In Ten
nessee late tobacco is in need Of rain
Complaints of premature dropping
of apples are extensive, and the gen
eral outlook for this fruit is not i'm
proved.
Blight rot in potatoes in the north

sippi valley is widespread, causing
marked decline in the condition o
this crop.

Soil Fertility Not Chemical.

In an exhaustive investigation Of the
chemistry of soils as related to the
yield of crops, which the agricultural
departments bureau of soils has just
finished, the conclusion is reached that
fertility of the soil is due to physical
courses which control the supply of
water with the plant food which con-
tains rather than to chemical action,
thus the chemical examination Of the
soil, which agricultural chemists have
made much of, is virtually ~discredited,
The results indicate that practically
all soils have sufficient available plant
food for normal crop yields, constantly
maintained by natural dissolution Of
the soil grains.
