CONDITION OF CORN CROP FAVORABLE Sprlngr Wheat Is Promlilag and Hnr veatlnsc of Oata Is Well I'nder Way, Althoaa-h Lodgred In Soma Plnces. WASHINGTON, July 8. The weather bureau's weekly summary of crop condi tions Is as follows: The northern portions of the country east of the Rocky mountains that suffered j from low temperature during the last half oi june, nave, witn me exception oi incw England, experienced more favorable tem peratures. The Missouri and upper Mis sissippi valleys, lake region, middle Atlan tic atates and New England have received abundant rams, wslch proved unfavorable In the Missouri and upper Mississippi val leys and portions of the lake region and middle Atlantic states. Drouth continues with increasing severity over a large part of the central and gulf districts, and rain Is much needed In the north Atlantic states, where the week has been unusually warm, with showers over limited areas only. The east has experienced a week of very favorable temeperatnres, with scattered showers and more than usual cloudiness. conditions favorable to the conservation of the abundant rainfall of the previous week. The Rocky mountain plateau and North Pacific coast districts have experienced a week of remarkably low temperature, with unusual precipitation, much In the form of snow in the northern districts, and general frosts and freezing temperatures In Ne vada and Utah. On the north Pacific coast the week was too cool and wet, but In Cali fornia the conditions were geenrally favor able. Improvement In Corn Condition. Under highly favorable temperatures there has been a general Improvement In the condition of corn throughout the central valleys, .and the outlook for this crop In tne principal corn states Is encouraging, al though In the states of the Missouri valley It has suffered considerably from lack of cultivation, due to excessive moisture. In Kansas the bulk of the crop Is laid by and much Is silking and earing-, la Nebraska corn I rather small, but Is growing nicely, although needing cultivation; three-fourths f the crop In Iowa Is well cultivated and In normal condition; notwithstanding the unfavorable effects of heavy rains In Mis souri the outlook In that state Is the best In years; In Arksnsas, Tennessee, the Ohio valley and the lake region the general out look la excellent; In the southern states a very poor crop Is Indicated, and In portions of the central gulf districts the early planted Is Injured beyond recovery. Bnd Wenther for Harvestlna;. The unfavorable harvest weather of the previous week In the states of the lower Missouri -valley continued during the last week, although harvesting of winter wheat la now practically finished In that section." Some damage to grain In chock and stack Is reported from Illinois, Missouri and Ne braska. Harvesting has continued In the Ohio valley under generally favorable con ditions, is practically finished over the southern portion of the middle Atlantic states and has been doing well In the lake region. On the north Pacific coast lodging is extensively reported and harvest will be later than usual, but the general outlook continues favorable. Harvesting continues under favorable conditions In California. Sprtns; Wheat Is Promising. Spring wheat has experienced no unfav orable conditions during the week. The general outlook tor the crop is generally very promising. Harvesting of oats Is in progress in the lower Missouri valley, Tennessee and middle Atlantic states, and the crop is ripening in the Ohio valley, good yields being reported. In portions of the Missouri and Ohio vallejrs and upper lake region considerable lodging Is re ported, but the general condition of the crop Is promising. Cotton Crop Deterlorntes. With showers over local areas only and very' high temperatures, the cotton crop over much the greater portion of the cen tral and eastern districts of the cotton belt has materially deteriorated, and all over the southern portion of the districts named, although considering the size of the plant It Is fruiting well and Is generally clean. In Tennessee, extreme northern Missis sippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Okalahoma and Indian Territory the crop continues in promising condition, although it Is need ing cultivation and making too much weed In portions of Arksnsas. In Texas cotton shows further Improvement and la making good healthy growth, except In the south western and northwestern counties, where It is at a standstill. While the plant is small, it Is spreading nicely and fruiting satisfactorily, and but tew reports . of shedding aud boll weevil arc received.
