pecially in the central Mississippi
and lower Missouri valleys. the food
stage in the Mississippi river al St.
Louis being the highest since 1858
and that in the Missouri river at han
sas City since 1874.
The protracted and probably IN

unbroken in northern New England
the weather map Of June 9 shows
light rains have fallen over much Of
this drouth area in the twenty-four
hours ending at S a m. Of this date.
Portions Of the upper lake region,
central and west gulf states, North
Dakota and Montana are in need OF
rain. Highly favorable temperature
conditions prevailed in the Rocky
Mountain states. but on the Pacific
a the week was very hot and dry,
especially in California and Oregon,

week in the western gulf states l.
vas too cool.
Much corn remains l. D

had drowned. Planting was resumed
in Nebraska and Iowa during the lat
ter part Of the week. where. under
the most favorable future conditions.
the acreage will be reduced. Under
o favorable conditions planting In
the middle Atlantic states had been
finished. Rust in winter wheat is
very generally reported from the Ohio.
central Mississippi and lower Missouri
valleys and in the two last named
districts the crop has sustained much
damage from floods. In the lake re-
gion. middle Atlantic states and over
the northern part Of the southern
states improvement is generally noted.
Harvesting IS progressing rapidly
il Texas and has begun in Califor-
MIA, where early wheat promises good
yields. In Washington and Oregon
winter wheat has made favorable
advancement, but short heads are re-
ported from Oregon and poor stands
from portions in Washington.
Spring wheat continues in VERY
promising condition in the Dakotas
and generally in Minnesota On the
north Pacific eoast spring wheat,
while needing rain. is doing well. The
outlook for oats in New York and
Pennsylvania is poor; in the Ohio val
ley q general improvement is indicated
and in the upper Missouri and Mis-
sissippi valleys. where not damaged by
foods. the crop is in a promising con-
dition-
Cotton in the eastern portion Of the
belt has had good growth. but is very
grassy, and is much in need Of sun
shine. while portions Of the central
districts need rain and suffered from
nights during the early part Of

beneficial in Texas. where chopping
las progressed rapidly Considerable
damage BY worms and bool weeTil Is
reported from Texas. The crop Ia.
also sustained damage by insects in

New England and the middle Atlantic
states, except in Pennsylvania. is very
promising. and favorable reports are
also received from Tennessee, Iowa
