Heavy rnlnB In tho upper Mis souri valley and Minnesota interfered with farm work and caused somo doni ngo to hay and stneked grain in South Dakota and Nebraska. Excessive rains also Interfered with farm work In portions of tho South Atlantic and East Gulf Btatc3.' Rain is gonorally needed in Illinois, Indiana and south ern Michigan, to put tho soil in condi tion for plowing nnd fall seeding nnd also over tho grcnter pnrt of Texas for pasturcn and truck farms. On tho North Pacific coast tho wcok has been cool nnd wot, with damaging frosts In Oregon nnd Washington. In jurious frosts occurred over tho mld dlo Rocky mountain districts. The week hns been favorablo for maturing and gathering corn and re ports from tho principal corn states lndicnto that a much larger acreage than usual at this date has been cut. The crop Is now practically safo from frost in nil districts. Tho weather conditions in the cot ton belt havo been more favorablo for picking, except over portions of Geor gia, Florida and North Carolina, where this work has been retarded to somo extent by ralno of tho latter port of the week. Picking has pro gressed rapidly in tho central and western districts, whero cotton has opened rapidly, the bulk of tho crop being gathered In some districts. Ovor tho eastern portion of tho cotton belt the low temperatures of tho week wero not favorable for tho develop ment of tho top crop nnd heavy rains navo damaged tho stnplo In portions of North Cnrollnn, Georgia and Flor 4da, whHo Olio sea Island crop o .South Carolina suffered from drouth.

Plowing nnd seeding hnvo progress ed favorably In nearly all districts and the enrly sown wheat In tho states of tho lower Missouri valley ha come up in excellent condition. In southern Michigan and portions of tho Ohio and Mississippi valleys, how- 1 over, plowing nnd seeding havo been delayed on account of tho dry condi tion of tho soil, and In Ohio seeding has been purposely delayed on ac count of tho Hessian fly.
