Weekly Crop Bulletin. ' Fdr ' week ending Monday, June 8, The past week waa generally quite unfavorable for the progress of crops . throughout most of the tate, on ao . count of the deficiency In temperature and precipitation. The week was char acterized by temperatures considerably below the seasonal are rage, especially from the 27ih to the 89th, and light frosts were reported by a number of correspondents,' chiefly In the elevated western section,' fortunately with only slight 'damage it! Jf crops' A The; "cool weather both checked growth of vegeta tion and gave young and tender plants ,an unhealthy appearance. Showers oo , currod from Sunday,, the 23th, tot Tues day, the 87thri gonerally i. in small . amounts, the beneficial effects of which soon ' disappeared. Damaging hall storms accompanied the rainfall on the 85th In a few western connUoa,' notably Henderson. A warm, generous aln is now greatly needed everywhere, 'as up lands are suffering rather seriously from drought. 'The week was very favorable for work, and cultivation continued ac tively; tbo planting of most crops has no been completed- ; , " Cotton suffuied considerably from the cool weather, and many plaitls have be come yellow! or sickly, in appearance, hence growth has been Very slow during the week; chopping cotton Is approach ing completion i s, account of' dry weather much late planted Is not yet up. Corn has also suffered; but td a muoh less extent from drought and cool nights generally the crop is In good condition and most of it has received second culti vation; ravages by worms are reported by a large number ot correspondents. The outlook for tobacco Is not good 1 at 1 present; growth was checked this week, so that recently set out plants have not secured a good start; poor stands, irregu larlly In growth, and damage by Insects contribute to the unfavorable prospect for this crop. While a number of reports indicate that the heads of winter : wheat are filling well, the crop 1a ripening so low that much ean hardly be cur; harvest will soon begin; chinch bugs are damag ing wheat. Spring oats are beginning to suffer from drought. at the most criti cal period of growth, while beginning to head. Peanuts seem to be . doing, fairly well.
