2 THE DROUGHT IS MUCH lITENSIFIED r ___________ Rainless Over Gulf and South Atlantic States. WISCONSIN IS DELUGED HOT AND DRY IN EAST OREGON AND WASHINGTON. FAVORABLE CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE Upland Corn in this State Damaged Beyond Recovery. In Southern States Gen erally, Save Texas, it is Suf ferieg from Droughb Washington, July 18.—The following is the Weather Bureau’s Weekly sum mary of er.>i> conditions: The absence of rain over a large part of the Gulf and South Atlantic States has intensified the previously reported drought condition in that section, more particularly over the interior portion of the Central rfnd East Gulf States, Mid dle Tennessee and the Western portion of the Cnrolinas, while excessive and eon thiuous rains over Central Wisconsin have proved unfavorable. The Eastern portions of Oregon and Washington have experienced high temperatures, with dry ing winds, which have proved detrimental to the grain crops of those States. Over a large part of Texas, iuclding the great er part of the inundated region of the Brazos Basin there has been an almost total absence of rain. The Brazos bottom lands, however, are not dry enough for cultivation. In the Central valleys, New England, Middle Atlantic States, general ly, throughout the Central and Southern plateau regions and California, the weather conditions of the week have been favorable for the growth and develop ment of crops and for general farming operations. In the South Atlantic, Central and Eastern Gulf States, including Central Tennessee, Southern Missouri, and por tions of .Kentucky and Virginia corn is suffering from drought ami has failed rapidly during the week in Georgia and the Carolinas. upland corn in North Car olina being damaged beyond recovery. In Texas a heavy crop is assured in the northern part of the State. and the late planted in the southern portion is better than was expected. In the Middle At lantic States, and generally in the great corn States of the Central valleys, the week has been very favorable to corn, which is now tasseling as far north as southern Michigan. The crop has .made excellent growth under the most favora ble temperature conditions irii all North ern districts from the Missouri valley eastward to the Atlantic coast. Winter wheat harvest continues where unfinished, in the more Northerly sec tions to the east of the Rocky Moun tains. rains of the past week having de layed harvesting in portions of Wiscon sin and Michigan: harvesting has begun in Umatilla county. Oregon. The har % vesting of spring wheat has begun in lowa, where it will lie general in about ten days. The reports respecting spring wheat from the Dakotas are generally favorable, and while most of the crop in Minnesota confin#'s promising, rust and lodging are increasing. Oat harvest is well advanced in tin* Central valleys antd Middle Atlantic States, and in the more Northerly sec tions, the general condition of the crop is promising. Some lodging, however, i* reported from Wisconsin. The general condition of cotton in the Eastern portions of the cotton belt is less favorable than in the preceding week, due principally to the prevalence of drought conditions, and in part, to the ravages of insects. The crop in these districts is. however, well-cultivated, a considera ble portion having been laid by. In Mis souri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, except in the recently flooded region, and portions of Mississippi, cotton has done well, and its condition is generally im proved. In Texas, the crop is grow ing nicely, and, as a rule, is fruiting heavily. In Southwest Texas early cot ton is opening and some has been picked. Owing to continuation of drought in Tennessee, tin* outlook for the short acre age of tobacco, in that 'State is very un promising. In Kentucky, the crop, pre viously reported as in an unfavorable condition, has been greatly improved by recent rains. Cutting and curing contin ue in the Carolinas under very favorable weather conditions. In Ohio, the crop is uneven, but in Indiana, and in the Mid dle Atlantic States and New England States tobacco is in excellent condition, a considerable acreage in Virginia being in “top.” Some plowing for fall seeding has been done in Kansas. BUFFALO TO BE A TRANSPORT. Washington, July 18.—The Board of Naval Chiefs decided at their meeting to day to completely refit the cruiser Buf falo as a naval transport, at a cost of about $70,000.

She has not proved all that was expected however, and it seemed desirable to transform her into a transport for the Philippine service.
