mated, as is usually the case at such times.
The crop has made -some advance toward
catching up its backwardness, but still re
mains a good deal later than the normal.'
Good rains have relieved the drouth situa
tion over Oklahoma and the lower half of
Texas, but so far the official reports fail to
.show. any material relief to the lower half.
where rains were most needed. However,
the general outlook appears to be much bet
ter in the western section, - and it now- re
mains to be seen just what Texas can do
toward making a bumper crop without the
aid of artificial fertilization. On the whole.
the season there has been as propitious as
will probably ever be had, and it is now1 -all
up to the land.-: It may be added 'that de
spite the fine seasonal conditions, some sur
prisingly unfavorable accounts ae already
commencing to come.- '
