Weather and Crop bulletin.

Denver.-Director Brandenburg, in
the weekly weather and crop report,
lays that the past week weather con-
ditions were generally favorable for
crop growth, but unfavorable for
farming operations over the greater
part of the state. There was more
than the seasonal amount of heat,
and, except in the north-central and
northeastern counties. the rainfall was
considerably above the average. The
sunshine was generally deficient.
There was some progress made In
plowing and planting in the north
eastern counties; in the other sec.
tions Of the state but little progress
was made in the preparation of the
soil for seed. Small grains and
grasses made satisfactory growth.
The prospects for fruit continue good.
In the southeastern part Of the state
plums are beginning to bloom, while
in localities in the western part OF the
state peaches are beginning to bloom,
pears are partly in bloom and apples
are opening.

depending upon an attack on the new
civil service law to delay its going
into effect, thereby giving them an in
definite hold on their jobs, are af,
forded little encouragement in their
hopes through a statement made by
Mrs. Alice Adams Fulton, secretary oil
the present civil service commission
With the exception of a remarkably
few positions. according to the com
missions secretary. there is nothing
in the present civil service law to pre-.
vent a wholesale removal of incum'
bents and their replacing by new ap,
pointees. This is due, it was stated,
to the fact that there are no eligible
lists established in strict conformity
to civil service except for clerical and
stenographic positions.
