Too Cool for Crops.

The crop report of the weather bureau issued at Washington Tuesday shows that over the greater part of the country east of the Rocky mountains the week has been abnormally cool and unfavorable for germination and growth. Excessive rains retarded farm work in the states of the middle Rocky mountain slope and lower Missouri valley, while a large part of the lake region, Southern Florida, and California, need rain. With thee exception of portions of the lake region, Florida, Texas and California, there is generally ample moisture in the soil, and the conditions now most needed.
