The weekly summary of crop condi.
tons issued by the weather bureau is as
follows:
Except in New England and the
northern part of the middle Atlantic
States, where the week ended Sept. IS
averaged considerably cooler than usual.
the temperature was above the normal
and generally favorable, the week being
decidedly warm over the greater part of
the central valleys. gulf States and east
ern Rocky Mountain slope Light to
heavy frosts occurred in the Rocky
Mountain regions and also in North Da-
kota. the lake region, New England and
the northern portion of the middle At
lantic States, but they resulted in no
serious injury.
A marked feature of the week was the
excessive precipitation. accompanied in
places by high winds, in the lower Mis-
souri, valley, where much damage was
done, especially in central and western
Missouri and eastern Kansas. Wet
weather also proved detrimental over a
large part of the middle Atlantic States
and in portions of the south Atlantic and
east gulf districts, while drought con-
tinues over portions of Texas. Gener-
ally favorable weather prevailed in the
central gulf States. Tennessee and most
of the Ohio valley and middle Atlantic

drought conditions to a greater or less
extent in Washington and Oregon.

belt, late corn in the upper Ohio and
Missouri valleys is maturing slowly, and
the crop in the lower Missouri valley has
suffered seriously from excessive rains
and high winds, especially in Missouri
and Kansas. In the first mentioned State
a large part of the crop has been blown
down or badly lodged. much is under
water, and that in shock is beginning to
mold. Over the northern part of the
corn belt from two-thirds to three-fourths
of the crop is now safe from frost.
Notwithstanding frequent showers in
the spring wheat region, thrashing of
spring wheat has been general, shock
thrashing in Minnesota being nearly
completed. Considerable smut is report

In Illinois the weather during the

MAIL ORDER HOUSES GAIN.
Need No Longer Ascertain Names of
Farmers on Rural Routes.


Farmers on Rural Routes.
1t is said that the large mail order
houses in Chicago will reap great benefit
from an order just issued by the Post
office Department requiring the mail
boxes on rural routes to be numbered
consecutively, according to the number
of boxes on each route. The box
where the carrier makes his first stop
shall be mo. IT, and so on until the
last box on the route is numbered.
Postmasters in many sections OF the
country have been instructed to carry
the order into effect 1t il likely that
serious objection will be made because
OF the manifest advantages to the mall
order houses. When a firm does its adj
yertisilg by circular letters it can ad-
dress a letter to Mail Box No. /, Route
No. /" and the carrier viii have to de-
liver it. All that the mail-order houses
will need to do to utilize the new scheme
will be to learn the number of rural
routes in a county and the number OF
boxes on a route. No attention need
be paid to the names of farmers living
on the routes, because a letter address
ed to a number will reach the farmer
just as if his name had been written
on the envelope.
