CROPS NEED SUNSHINE
Weather More Favorable Past Week
 Truck in Fair Condition.

Little Rock, April 26.-The week ending April 24 was more favorable for farming, but more sunshine is needed, according to the weekly synop- sis of weather and crop conditions in Arkansas, issued by the Weather Bu- reau. The report follows:
 "The weather was more favorable this week, the heavy rains the first of the week occurring in the western and central portions, where needed, and light rains in the eastern portions; but more sunshine is badly needed In these portions corn and cotton planting and all farm work are still from 10 days to three weeks behind, very little planting being done in some places. In other portions conditions were ia vorable, except too cool, and good progress was made. Corn is up and doing well , although considerable re, planting is necessary in places. Cotton is nearly planted and doing fairly well, but needs more sunshine. Fruit is re- ported good in nearly all portions, es- pecially apples. Pastures and potatoes are little backward, but are grow
