March Crop Conditions.

The weather bureaus monthly
summary of crop conditions follows:
East Of the Rocky mountains, Feb
ruary, 1905, averaged very cold, with
much more than the average precipt
tation in the South Atlantic and Gull
districts, and decidedly less than the
average over the greater part Of the
Central valleys, Middle Atlantic states
New England and lake region.
During the greater part of the
month there was ample snow cover
ing over much of the winter wheat
belt, but much snow disappeared af
ter the goth, leaving the southern
and western portions without protec
tion. In California the month wa:
abnormally warm with plentiful rains
in the southern districts. Unusually
; heavy precipitation occurred in New
Mexico, Arizona and portions Of Col
orado and Utah.
In Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas
winter wheat has passed the winter
thus far in good condition, but some
doubt is entertained as to what Its
condition In Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio will be when snow disappears
The crop has, however, been gener
ally well protected In those last men
toned states and also in the middle
Atlantic coast districts. The condi
tion Of winter wheat on the Pacific
coast is favorable except in Washing
ton, where it experienced severe
freezing weather.
The intensely cold weather in the
states Of the upper Mississippi and
lower Missouri valleys is reported to
have caused injury to fruit buds.
principally peaches, but in the At
lantic coast districts fruit buds are
believed to have escaped material In.
