WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Summary of Conditions lin Az
ricuIturnl Districts.

Washington. April 22.-The wealth
er bureaus weekly crop bulletin says:
In the states of the upper Missouri
valley the week ending April 20 was
milder than us al and generally favor
able for farming operations. but else
where east Of lie Rocky mountains the
temperature was much below the aver
age and excessive rains retarded farm
work generally throughout the Atlan-
tic coast dist Ohio valley and The
southern portion Of the lake region.
Ehe central and west gulf states and
portions q The southeast Rrely moul.-
tain slope are much in need of rain. no
appreciable amount having fallen over
large part Of these districts for more
than two weeks.
On the Pacific coast cool weather
has retarded growth. and frosts have
sed considerable injury in Oregon.
Southern California coast districts
have received heavy rains, insurng
an abundance Of irrigation water.
Very slow progress has been made
with corn planting throughout the
corn belt and the middle and southern
Atlantic states, owing to cold, wet
weather. while dry weather has I'M
paired stands in the central and west
gulf states.
The previously reported excellent
condition of winter wheat in the prin-
cipal winter wheat states continues
unimpilired, excepting to q slight ex-
tent in portions of the upper Ohio val
ley, where in some localities it is turn
ing yellow. Less favorable reports are
also received from the middle and
south Atlantic states and portions of
Texas.
Seeding of spring wheat is general
in all parts of the spring wheat gion,
but progress has not been rapid in
southeastern Minnesota owing to wet
soil. The early sown in Iowa and South
Dakota is terminating slowly, though
even stands are Indicated. On the
north Pacific coast spring wheat seed
ing is much delayed.
Dat seeding has been suspended over
large part of the central valleys and
the acreage in some sections is likely
to be reduced in consequence. In the
states of the lower Mississippi valley
and in Texas the outlook for this CROP
is promising.
Although frosts of the 18th caused
further injury to fruit in the upper
Ohio valley. the reports, generally, ex
cepting those respecting peaches, are
somewhat more encouraging than
those of the previous week. Apples
appear to have escaped injury in New
England and the middle Atlantic
states. In California fruit is mostly
in good condition, having sustained
less injury by frost than was esti
mated. Considerable early fruit has
been injured by frequent frosts in
Oregon. but in Washington the COO
weather has kept buds in check anG
little or no injury has resulted in that
state.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 22.-The su.
preme court Tuesday morning settled
the Lorimer-Durborow election con.
test of Chicago by handing down an
opinion in which they hold that the
circuit court of Cook county had no
jurisdiction in the case, and that the
whole matter was in the hands of the
election commissioners. The result
of the courts opinion will be that the
ballots will be counted and the courta
of Cook county can make no further
order in the case. The supreme court
ordered the habeas corpus proceedings
against Sheriff Barrett, of Cook coun.
ty, for the release of the election COM

Chicago, April 21.-Nast coal fields
in central Illinois are to pass to the
control of a gigantic corporation, with
capital of Ss0,0oO,00o, and they will
be operated in connection with the
Hill system of railroads. JamesJ. Hill,
president OF the Great Northern Sc
curities company, is said to have
financed the deal, and the Burlington,
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railroads will open markets for
Illinois fuel in the northwest. Pri-
marily the zeal has for its purpose to
give these three railroads a return
haul, and increase the traffic receipts
BY reducing the number of dead"
loads. Trains which bring the prod
