THE CROP REPORT.
weather Conditions Throughout the
Country and Their influence
ON Growing Grains.

Washington, May 13.-The weekly
crop report of the weather bureau is
as follows:
The Ohio valley, middle Atlantic and
southern states have experienced an
other cool week, and while the tenn
perature has been above the seasonal
average in the more northerly dis
tricts, the reports generally indicate
the need of warmth. In the lower Mis-
souri,, central Mississippi and Ohio val
leys, and Atlantic coast districts, in
GLIDING the northern portion of the
east gulf states, rains would be of much.
benefit. Rain would also be beneti-
cial in the Rocky mountain and Pa
cific coast districts. Much needed and
abundant rains have fallen in the
west gulf states and Florida. In Ok
lahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, the
Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin the
conditions have been generally favor
able.
Corn planting continues very late,
but is now in general progress
throughout the central valleys, and
has begun in the extreme northern dis
tricts. This work has been carried on
under much difficulty in the lower Mis-
souri,. central Mississippi and Ohio
valleys. and portions of the middle
Atlantic states, owing to hard and
cloddy ground. termination and
Growth have been very slow in all tis-
'";ct'; in the west gulf states. how
YER. the crop has recovered rapidly
rom the effects of the colo of the pre-
vinus week.
An Improvement in he condition of
winter wheat IS reported from Ncbras-
Ia, Kansas, Oklahoma. Texas and Ohio,
Tut the crop has suffered deterioration
in Indiana. Illinois. Kentucky and Mis-
souri,. much in the southern portion
Of the last mentioned state having been
'reatly damaged by rust and insects.
Wheat is now heading as far north as
Kentucky and southern Missouri. On

Times thrifty in Oregon. but in WASH
;no:on and California it is in need OF
rain, the la1e-sown in California being
very nnpromising.
Spring wheat seeding is now practi-
cally finished. and the early sosvn is
coming up TO good stands. and is in
healthy condition. No damage seems
to have resulted from the severe
weather of the previous week. In the
northern Rocky mountain district and
in Washington the reports are less ia.
vorable, rain being needed.
The seeding of oats is nearly finished
in the more northerly districts, where
good stands are promised, and from
Texas northward to the upper Mis-
sour valley the crop has i'm
proved much since last week, but from
the lower Missouri valley eastward
over Illinois, Indiana and Ohio the
stands are uneven and the crop is much
in need of rain.
The reports concerning apples are
somewhat more encouraging than in
the previous week, but the outlook for
most of the other fruits continues

nounccd that he had received Il tele-
gram that the Southern Pacific threat

days to give time for settlement Of
the troubles.
The boiler makers on the Southern
Pacific road were to have gone on
strike Monday out of sympathy with
the Union Pacific machinists' strike
which has been out for about six
months. Senator Hanna, acting for
the civic federation. asked that this
sympathetic strike be postponed pend

about settlement.
Omaha, Neb., May 12-The strike sit.

Gated Monday morning by the closing
down of is of the largest laundries in
the city. and the locking out of 500
laundry workers. This action was
taken by the laundrymen after an ex.

conflict with capital since the close of
the building trades council lockout
Three important industries. harvester
machinery. laundry and bakery, are
temporarily shut down, and their pro-
prietors have little hope of an immedi-
ate resumption of business. All de-
clare they arc willing to continue at
war until their employees listen o rea-

and laundry strikes were futile. The
financial loss to all concerned was csti-
mated at over 100000. and ii alarmed
the conservative business men and la
Dor leaders of the city. All fear that
should the trouble continue ii may en-
broil the city in labor upheaval of
vast proportions.

Mexico City, May 12.-News brought
here from Guatemala by people who
have seen the ruin wrought by the

Manuel Hurtado, just arrived here

stroyed for all time. Ashes from ten
to Is feet deep cover the country. In
the neighborhood of the volcano
ashes arc SO deep that only some of
the tops of tall trees can be seen.
Scoria and ashes cover 1000 square
miles of land to Il depth of five to IS
feet, and 5000 square miles to depths
of from one to five feet Onc-third
of the entire coffee crop has been
destroyed. About 100000 quintals of
the very choicest coffee have been
lost. and all land upon which it was
grown is doomed to eternal stcrility."
