There has been too much rain in New England j and local sloams have caused some damage to crops in the Virginias. The conditions have been genet - ' ally favorable to crops in the southern) Stall's, Oklahoma, Kan -1 sas, Nebraska, South dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and in the * middle Atlantic States. On the I1 northern Pacific coast, the week n although warm, has been favor- * able for harvesting. In the prin- * cipal corn states of the central ' valleys the weather conditions of ' tho week have not been wholly I v favorable, being too cool, and v * i much too dry. Good rain > have, s however, improved the crop in s Kansas and Nebraska. The week 0 has been generally favorable to u jcotlon, except in North Carolina | and portions of S< vith Carolina, j * Missouri ami southern Texas, r where it suffered from drought. n Generous rains over the greater ! ^ part of the cotton belt have arrest- 1 ed pre*, >JLure opeuiug and shed- * ding, w * 1 ' The Condition of the State's Farming Interests. :L ? . . , 1 I he following is the weekly bulletin of the condition of the | crops issued by Observer Bauer: a There is a great diversity in the , tone of the reports for the week, ( the correspondents being about ? equally divided in calling the week ,, a favorable or an unfavorable one. ;1 As a general rule tin- best reports ? eomo fr< )in the western portions '] of the State, where in places 'the c i crops aro inagniticent.'

Their increase * in numbers during the week was t alarmingly rapid. They have al- i so made their apjiearance in a j number of other counties, but as tl yet in no threatening force. Corn varies in condition with ( 1 locality and soil and the culture i it received, hut that portion of I the crop already made is very | nearly if not quite up to an aver-' ^ age. Late corn is still very prom-! ising and will he greatly improved by the recent rains. Fodder pull-1 ing is making rapid progress over I the eastern counties, where it is i nearibg completion, and extend- t ing gradually westward, where f the crop is much later this year c than usual. i Chinch bugs continue to damage n corn in Chester. Fodder was sav- 1 ed in good condition. Cotton was not uniformly uf fccted by tho last week's weather; ! many reports indicate a reason ! | able improvement, and fully us r many noto deterioration, due, r chiefiy to excessive shedding of c squares and some bolls, some rot- > ting of bolls, while on sandy d lands the plant is rapidly dying - lm<I consequently lias ?|iiit puttin; hi fruit.
