REPORT ON THE CROPS,
Fewer Reports of Rust and Shedding

Fewer Reports of Rust and Shedding in Cotton.
 Washington, Sept. 13.-The Weather Bureaus weekly summary of crop con- ditions is as follows
 { Nearly normal temperatures with no rain or very light showers prevailed over the greater part of the central valleys and interior of the Southern States. Portions of the South At- lantic and gulf coast districts and Oklahoma received considerable rain,
 excessive amounts being reported from Southern Georgia and eastern Florida. Normal temperatures or extremes occurred in California, the minimum in California being 50 degrees, as low | as the previous record for the first week of September and the maximum on the 7th and Sth, 80 degrees, being 6 degrees above the previous record for
 more than thirty years.
 Nearly the whole of the most pro- perienced favorable conditions for ma turing the crop.
 The weather has favored threshing in the spring wheat region and this work Is now general in North Dakota and northern Minnesota.
 While rust and shedding continue over a large part of the cotton belt, reports of injury from these causes are less numerous than in the pervious
 week in the central districts. The weather has been favorabl for picking except in portions of Georgia and Florida where this work was hindered by heavy rains and picking is now be ing done In the northern districts. The Texas cotton has improved slightly in 0 few northern counties, but on the whole very little new fruit is buddins and boil weevils are puncturing nearly all squares in the southwestern coast. central and eastern counties as we'll as In number of northern counties.
 Late tobacco on the whole has made good progress and Is now largely se- cured. The weather conditions have
 been exceptionally favorable for hous- ing and curing.
 over the southern portion of the
 middle Atlantic States and the greater part of the central valley apples are scarce and of indifferent quantity.
 fine yield of potatoes is generally
 indicated.

WORK ON THE RIVER
MovEMENr LAUNCH.
 ED BY CITIzENs.
Montgomery Business Men Meet to Consider Deepening and Improv. ing Stream for Navigation
 All the Year.

Montgomerians will make an effort before the Rivers and Harbcrs Com. mittee of the next session of Congress for a deeper and more servicehble wa terway on the Alabama River to the Gulf of Mexico.
 At a called meeting of the Commit tee on State Development of the Com mercial and Industrial Association last night this subject was discussed at length and plans were formu\,ted to push a vigorou fight before the Com
 mittee at it's meeting in December.
 Efforts will be made to secure the corporation of the citizens of Selma and Mobile in the work and a mass meeting may be called In Montgomery to which the Alabama Congressmen will be invited, to discuss the river situation.
 Colonel A. A. Wiley Congressman from the Second District of Alabama. was present at the meeting last night and assured the members of the Com- mittee of his hearty support. He ad- vised that a strong delegation be sent before the Committee and the im- portance of a waterway between Mont gomery and the Gulf, navigable throughout the year, be urged.
 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Charles F. Moritz. Mir. Moritz referred to the report of Cap tain Cavanaugh of the United States Engineers, recommending that the wa terway have a channel depth of seven feet. and width of 150 feet to accom- modate the traffic over the river. MT. Moritz said boats drawing over three and half feet of water find 1t almost Impossible to make all points on the river many months in the year and he spoke of the benefit to come to the Montgomery merchants on account of decreased freight rates resulting from a regular steamer schedule. He said it would pay Montgomerians well to make a fight for the improvements. MT. Moritz said he understood that Captain Cavanaugh was in thorough sympathy with the movement and the outlook for the improvement was good.
 Nothing definite was done at the meeting last night. Another meeting will be held later.
 Alderman John P. Kohn represent. ing the City Council. was present and assured the Committee of the support of the city government in its under. taking.
