The United States Weather Bureau
at Richmond yesterday issued the fol-
lowing synopsis of weather and crop

The first half OF the week gave a
continuance OF the previous cold and

half the temperatures rose TO the aver
age for the time OF the year and this.
together with abundant sunshine slim
uiated the growth Of vegetation and
OF crops. and decided Improvement
in condition occurred. No rain fell
and this permitted field work TO pro-
aeed uninterruptediy. The opportunity
was utilized by farmers in preparing
land for tobacco. finishing UP planting
OF corn. planting peanuts and other
outdoor work. However. tho want OF
moisture. together with strong. drying
winds. hardened the top soil. and warm,
general rains arc now needed. y sum-
mary OF reports from correspondents
shows continued improvement in wheat
and oats. though both crops9are short
in straw. Late planted corn Is COM
ing up TO good stands. and has i'm
proved i'll color. due to sunshine and
warmth. The early planted crop ger
minated poorly, and considerable re-
planting Ia necessary. Except for this.
the planting OF the crap is practical
ly finished Irish potatoes arc general
~ in excellent condition.: but sweet
potatoes are locally reported backward
In the beds. Tobacco plants are plent
full and ready for setting out. Some
OF this work was done during the week.
In southeast Tidewater counties cutting
grass for hay has begun. Pastures.
Rardens and truck CROPS are doing we'll.
Blight is reported to be affecting pip
pin and York apples in Nelson County.
Otherwise this crop is in promising
condition.
