WEATHER AND CROP BIT.
 T.ETIN.

The rainfall was excessive over an area extending from Texarkana and Mena to Calico Rock and Corning, the amounts for the week at most places in that area ranging from 500 to 11.20 inches, the latter occur ring at Dardanelle. Over eight inches was reported at num- Der of places; over nine iches at four places. The least amount reported was 1855 inches at Portland. Amounts ranged from this to 600 inches in southern and eastern counties. The greater portion of this fell from the 18th to the 20th. The temperature was below normal most of the week.
 Floods, resulting from the heavy rains, destroyed all crops in the lowlands in the upper White River Valley, and will destroy them along the lower White as the flood progresses. Some of the lower portions in the Arkansas Valley were also overfowed again, destroying the crops where they had been replanted. The rains and cool weather caused cotton to deteri- crate rather than advance dur ing the week in nearly all places, only two or three report ing favorable weather. Corn was blown down by the wind and damaged by rain to quite an ex- tent. From the meager reports at hand rice does not seem to have been damaged much by the storm.
 Cotton was reported excellent at a few places in the northeast ern and southwestern portions, but at most places only fair. Corn is reported not in as good condition as before the storm. Rice is in good to excellent con dition. Truck and melons con- tinue plentiful, although not of as good quality as a week ago. Peaches are about all picked. Apples continued in fair to good conditional. s. Cole, Section Director.
