COLD RETARDs GROWING CROPS
Spring Wheat in the Dakotas Held
Back and Peach Crop Has Suffer
ed from the Ernsts

The weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions is as follows:
While the temperature conditions Of
the week ending May 1 were much
more favorable than in the previous
week, complaints of slow termination
and growth are very general in the
Missouri and Red River of the North
valleys, Middle Rocky mountain slope,
lake region and New England. In the
Middle and South Atlantic and Gulf
States, and in the Ohio valley, very
favorable temperatures prevailed, but
the Central and West Gulf States and
portions of the South Atlantic States
and Ohio and Central Mississippi val
leys suffered from excessive rains,
which hindered farming operations
materially. New England North
Dakota, Montana and Florida contin.
ue to need rain, but the portions of
the Lower Missouri and Ohio valleys
needing moisture In the previous week
have received ample rainfall. In
most Of the principal corn States
corn planting has made slow progress.
Planting is generally finished in the
Southern States and Is nearly COM
pleted in the southern portions of
Kansas and Missouri. Practically
all reports indicate that winter wheat
continues in unusually promising con-
dltion. Dry weather has been un-
favorable for the termination and
growth Of spring wheat in the
Dakotas. The general outlook for
oats continues favorable in the most
important oat States.
Peaches have been extensively
killed, although an excellent crop is
promised in Southern Georgia, and in
a few other sections the outlook for
peaches is somewhat improved.
