Washington, Sept. 2.?The
weekly summary of crop condi
tions made by tho Agricultural
Department Hays: The tempera
ture conditions in the northern
districts east of the Missouri Valley
during tho week ending September
1 were more favorable
for matuiing crops than in the
previous week, but, as in the two
weoks immediately preceding the
excessively high temperatures prevailed
in the Central and West
Gulf districts, including Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. Continued
absence of ruin Inw ititnn
winod the drought in 'he West
Gulf districts, und ruin is generally
needed in the Ohio Valley
and in coast districts from southern
Now England to the Carolines.
In the States ftf the Missouri
Valley and in portions of upper
Mississippi Valley corn has
made fair progress, but has not
matured rapidly, owing to the
low temperature and excessive
moisture. Dry, warm weather
is greatly needed in the Missouri
Valley for die maturity of corn.
But little rain has fallen over
much the greater part of the cotton
lielt westward from the Mississippi
rivor during the past
month, the last three weeks of
which have been excessively
warm. The week ending Septem i
her I, being practically rainless
over the greater part of Louisiana,
portions ot Arkansas and
Oklahoma, and throughout Texas, <
with the exception of a few light
showers in the north central, and
northeastern portions, the rise
of which, with the ravages of insects,
has been a steady deterioration
in the condition of cotton t
during the second and third de- r
cades. While favorable weather ^
conditions in the near future s
would cause a marked improve ^
ment in the condition of cotton in t
Texas, the reports indicate that, under
the most favorable eit cum- n
stances, they would be much j|
short of an average crop. The c
central and eastern districts otthc j,
cotton holt, with the exception of 4
portions of the Carolinas, where p
the drought continues, have re g
ceived abundant rains, hut too (
lute to he of material benefit, y
while causing considerable iujury
to open cotton, ^mie slight ira- g
provement is reported from por . j,
tions of Florida and Georgia and 4
less premature opening from Ala p
hama, but rust and shedding are v
very general throughout the eon- e
tral and eastern districts (the
weather map of this date, Septem- p
her, shows that good rains fell c
over a large part of Texas during |(
the 24 hours ending at S a. 111 , a

The weekending Monday, Sept.
1st, was decidedly cooler than b
UHtial, with and average tempera- lc
ture ot about 73 degrees, a max.
imum of 1)3 degroes at Greenwood Oi
on the 2t5tb, and a minimum of yi
58 degrees at Bowman on the27th 7:
and at Darlington on the 20th. p<
The first and last days were partly
cloudy to clear, but the middle 11
of the woek was cloud), humid
and rainy. There were no des- cl
tractive winds or hailstorms. at
On the 22nd thore was a heavy 6,
r rainfall in the middle coast coun~ 71
ties, and a quite general rainfall
on the 23rd, while on the 2(>th, ih

while en handy lands the plants ^
huvo reached maturity and all ^
growth has stopped. Cotton op- j
ened rapidly previous to the rains,
which checked opening somewhat ^
and intei ferred with picking; and (
also stained some cotton or beat

it to the ground. In places half
i s
tho crop is open, and the work of
picking is being urgently pressed.
This is unusually early. Yields (
are disappointing. Late cotton

on all still soils is still fruiting,

but the general prospect for a top ^
crop is poor. Sea island cotton n
