OKLAHOMA CROPS IMPROVE.
More Rain Puts Growing Plant Life in
Better Condition.

Oklahoma City, July 2.-Improved
crop conditions existed during the week
ended June 25 and the outlook is much
better than a week ago, according to
the weekly crop synopsis issued by the
Oklahoma City weather bureau.
The synopsis follows:
SHOWERS were quite general at the
beginning of the week and again on

eastern and moderate to heavy over
most OF the central and western por-
tions. Temperature was slightly above
normal of 100 degrees or higher.
"The condition OF all crops improved
as result Of the rains. but more rain Is
needed. especially in the central. south
western and extreme western portions.
where the situation is only temporarily
relieved. On the whole the outlook is
much better than at the close of the
preceding week.
Harvesting Of wheat and oats prog
ress satisfactorily under generally ia
vorable conditions and the bulk of these
crops is now in shock, except in the
northwestern counties, where harvest
ing is now under way. Threshing was
begun in the southern and central por.
tions and both the yield and quality
Of grain is reported better than ex-
pected.
Corn was damaged in some locali-
ties in the western portion. where
moisture was scant. by hot winds on

crop as a whole. however. II made sat
isfactory progress and growth is still
promising. and much. OF II is in the silk
and tassel stage in the southern por-
ton. and is beginning TO tassel In the
central portion.
Cotton improved and its condition is
geenrally satisfactory, although late,
Conditions were favorable for chopping
and cultivation. Sweet potatoes and
peanuts are mostly good stands and fair
to good prospects. Sorghum grains
and broom corn are doing fairly we'll
although poor stand in many locali
ties.
Pastures are poor in the central and
western portions. and stock water is
reported scarce in some localities in the
southwest.
