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

the week was too cool and wet, but In Cali
fornia the conditions were geenrally favor

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

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

Ohio valley under generally favorable con
ditions, is practically finished over the
southern portion of the middle Atlantic

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
