favorable for growth of vegetation,
but farm work was very generally re-

moisture are received from portions
of the central and west gulf states
H. the central and northern Rocky
mountain district and on the north
Pacific coast the season is very back

have suffered from cold, wet weather.
In California the conditions have
been generally favorable with the ex-
ception of some damage by frost
Corn planting is in progress as far
north as Kansas, southern Missouri,

and is completed in some sections.
The condition of winter wheat is
generally excellent, and it has made
splendid progress since the first of the
month"; in the upper Ohio valley, how
ever, the freeze of the 4th and 5th
caused some injury On the whole,
the conditions of the crop in the win
ter wheat belt east of the Rockies is
more promising than for years. In
California the outlook is also promis-
ing, but in Oregon and Washington
the condition of the crop is less favor

state, where about One-third of the
acreage will be resown.
Spring wheat seeding is nearly com
