very favorable temperatures prevailed.
but the central and west gulf states and
portions of the South Atlantic states and
Ohio and central Mississippi valleys
suffered from excessive rains, which
hindered farming operations material
ly. New England. North Dakota, Mon

In most Of the principal corn states
corn planting has made slow progress,
but extensive preparations for this work
have been made and, with favorable
weather, much will be planted during
the first week in May. Planting is gen
orally finished in the southern states.
Practically all reports indicate that
winter wheat continues in unusually
promising condition, the temperature
OF the past week having been more IA
vorable for the advance Of this crop.
Dry weather has been unfavorable
for the termination and growth Of
spring wheat in the Dakotas. The early
sown in South Dakota, however, and In
Minnesota is doing we'll. The outlook
for spring wheat in Iowa, Oregon and
Washington is very promising.
The general outlook for oats contin-

states. In Kansas and Nebraska the
crop Is recovering from the effects of
previous cold. In the Dakotas and por-
tons OF the lake region termination
has not been satisfactory. Seeding is
