CROP OPENING RAPIDLY me? ii winds injure cotton AND TOBACCO HERE. rROSTS IN MOUNTAINS OF THE FAR WEST Oals in Shock Damaged by Pains. Condition ft of • Corn Favorable. Cotton • is Shedding in Central and Eastern Districts. Washington, Aug. 22. —Following Is tin* Weather Bureau’s weekly summary of the crop conditions: While there has been an entire ab sence of rain over a large part of the country east of the Rocky Mountains and droughty conditions are quite ex tensively reported iu New England, over much of the lower lake region, Ohio and lower Missouri Valleys and West ttulf Stakes, very heavy rains have fallen in the Red river of the North Valley, on the A’irginia and North Caro lina coasts and over portions of the Central Gulf States. In the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast districts the week lias been too cool with frosts, caus ing some injury in mountainous sections on the 15th and 10th. The report from Ciilw. indicates that the week has been generally very, dry, and that crops are suffering seriously over the greater part of the island. In the principal corn States the sea )sonable temperajturet and general ab sence of nain have been favorable for advancing the maturity of corn, the gen eral condition of which crop is very satisfactory, although late coni now needs rain in portions of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, in Oklahoma and in some parts of Kansas and Nebraska. Cutting of corn is now general in Kan sas and has begun in Oklahoma. Spring wheat harvest has been de layed in the Dakotas, and Minnesota by heavy rains, which have caused in jury to stacked grain in the last named State. Harvesting has also been inter rupted by rains in Washington and Ore gon. In the last named State wheat in sacks and in shock, as well as stand ing grain, is beginning to sprout, as the result of unusual rains during the pa*t two weeks. In Minnesota, South Dakota and Washington oats in shock have been damaged by excessive moisture which has also delayed the completion of harvest Over the Central and Eastern portions of the cotton belt the conditions of cot ton continues practically the same ns ■at the close of the previous week, rust and shedding being prevalent. All le ports show that cotton is opening raj id ly, picking being in progress iu the ex treme Northern districts. In Eastern North Carolina the crop was damaged by the high winds attending the late hurricune. Drought is proving very damaging to the crop in Oklahoma and 1 Texas, but the weather conditions have been very favorable for picking, and while an average yield is not expected in Texas, the quality of -the staple is good. In Ohio tobacco is suffering from drought, but in other tobacco States the general outlook continues favorable. Some damage, however, has lteen caused by the high winds in North Carolina, and moist weather has been unfavorable for curing in Maryland. . The general outlook for apples is not encouraging, and iu some important ap ple States the crop is very poor. The most favorable reports are received from Ohio, Indiana and Northern Illinois. In New York early apples are plentiful, but winter apples promise only about a half crop. While the weather for the past week has been unfavorable for plowing, this work has been unusually well advanced under the favorable conditions of the previous week.

Jueksom, Miss., August 22.—’Hie con test for the Governorship of Mississippi which is to la* decided at the Stale Con vention tomorrow is at present in a very indefinite state.
