Washington, April 18.-Ths weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con.
ditious is as follows,
As whole the weather conditions
during the week ending April II we're
not favorable for farming operations In
the principal agricultural districts east
OF the Rocky mountains, being unsea-
sonably cold in the central valleys and
southern states with too much moisture
over the middle gulf states and large
part OF the central valleys. More favor
able conditions prevailed In the middle
and South Atlantic states and the
Rocky mountain region. In the north
ern and central districts east OF the
Rocky mountains the season is from one
or two weeks later than usual The Sea-
son 1s also backward on the North Pa
cifc coast. but more favorable tempera-
ture conditions prevailed during the lat
ter part Of the week. East OF the Mis-
sissippi river no corn has been planted
northward Of Tennessee and North
Carolina. but large part Of the crop has
been planted in the last named state and
this work 10 we'll advanced throughout
the gulf states.
The least favorable reports respecting
winter wheat are received from the
states Of the Ohio valley. the crop hav-
Ing sustained much damage from over
flows in Indiana and Illinois and POT.
tons Of Ohio and also in Michigan. A
considerable acreage In Indiana and
Ohio will be plowed up for other crops.
An Improvement. however. Is noted In
portions of Ohio and Illinois and the
general outlook In Missouri. Kansas and
Nebraska is encouraging, although rain
Is needed In the western portion Of the
wheat region in Nebraska. Over the
southern portion of the middle Atlantic
states the crop has experienced gener-
al improvement.
Dat seeding Is well advanced in Me-
braska and Kansas and has begun In
Iowa and the Ohio valley. although In
the last named district this work has
been greatly hindered by excessive mois-
ture
Cotton planting has been interrupted
by cold, wet weather in the central por-
ton Of the cotton belt. but has
progressed favorably In the southern
portions of the eastern and western SEC
lions.
Frosts and freezing weather on the
4th and 5th materially injured fruit in
the Ohio valley, Tennessee and in the
South Atlantic and northern portions Of
the east gulf states, but in the middle
Atlantic states the reports indicate that
fruit has so far for the most part es-
capped serious injury. The cold period
of the 9th and 9th was also injurious to
fruit In Kansas, Missouri and Okla
hona.
