The following is the weekly telegraphic bulletin of the Weather Bureau: Temperature—The week has been cooler than usual on Central and Southern California coasts, and generally in all districts east of the Kocky Mountains, the exceptions being the Bed Biver of the North Valley, the upper Ohio Valley, and portions of the lake region, where the te-nperature was normal or slightly above. The deficiency in temperature has averaged from 3 to 5 degrees on the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Massachusetts, and over the greater part of the country between the Mississippi Biver and the Bocky Mountains. Over the plateau distriot and on the Northern Paciflo coast it was warmer than usual, and along the coast north of California the week was exceptionally warm, the excess in temperature amounting to from 5 to 7 degrees per day. Frost occurred in the Upper Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio valleys, New England, and in the northern portion of the middle Atlantic States, but the reports indicate no serious injury. Freezing temperature prevailed In Wyoming and Northern Montana the 11th. Early corn is now reported as .safe from injury by frosts in the principal corn-producing States, and if late corn escapes injury during the next two weeks the crop will be safe. Precipitation—More than the usual amount of rain has fallen in the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri* valleys, over Arkansas, Louisiana and Eastern Texas, and a!ong the Atlantic coast from North Carolina southward. There has al6o been a slight excess of rainfall in the Dakotas and in portions of Pennsylvania and New York. Unusually heavy rains fell along the coast of South Carolina, Georgia and. Eastern Florida, in the upper Mississippi valley, Central Arkansas, and near the mouth of the Mississippi; where the actual rainfall has ranged from two to five inches. From the Ohio valley eastward to the Atlantic coast but little rain- fell during the week,'and over a considerable portion of this region there was an entire absence of rain. Little or no rain has fallen in the Bocky Mountain district, and none fell on the Paciflo coast except light showers in Washington. Cotton picking, which was begun in the southern portion of the cotton region two weeks ago, is now general in the northern portion of the cotton region, and some shipments have been made. The cotton crop in South Carolina is reported as seriously injured, and in Louisiana there are complaints of rust and boll worms. Severe drought continues throughout Maryland and rain is much needed in portions of Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Michigan and Kansas. Special telegraphic reports: New England—Grain average yield; corn being cut, and extra good crofc>. Wisconsin —Corn promises a fair yield; tobacco one of the finest crops ever grown. Illinois —Frost injure I com in lowlands; early com maturing rapidly; some wheat sown in southern and rye in northern portion. lowa —Increased acreage of wheat being sown; no damaging frosts. | Indiana—Most of the early planted com safe from frost. Michigan—Potatoes, com and. pastures in bad condition. Ohio—Com maturing nicely; fair tobacco crop; frost. v: Minnesota—Mueh-corji out of danger; some requires two weeks of dry, sunshiny weather. North Dakota Weather delayed thrashing; killing frost this morning. South Dakota—Stacking practically completed; fall plowing good. Nebraska—Com needs two weeks more before it will be safe from frosts; large acreage of fall wheat being sown. Kansas —Too dry in localities fol plowing, which is generally well forward.
