Bryant, agricultural statistician to the United States department of agriculture. The report follows: "High temperature prevailed dur- ' ing the week until Friday night, and rain was general over the northern part or the state the middle of the week. Local showers occurred elsewhere, but some localities have been, without rain for many weeks. ; "Corn continues to show a good stand generally, but a few loealitie. are badly in need of rain. "Winter wheai condition Is variable. In the southern part of the state it has gone back, while in the north improvement is shown. Red rust is heavy in the south. Cutting will start about the last of next week ; in extreme southern counties. Spring I wheat continues in good condition. Oats Make Rapid Growth "Oats are somewhat uneven, bu have made rapid growth during the warm weather of the last two weeks. "No change in the barley condition. Same as oats. "Rye cutting will start In southern counties next week and a splendid crop is looked for. "Late potato planting is finished in southern counties, and the crop is started under favorable conditions. "Transplanting of tobacco is proceeding rapidly. Acreage will be materially cut compared with last year. Hay Crops Are Fair "AH hay crops are fair to good. Rain is badly needed in some localities. Alfalfa cutting has commenced. "Home-grown berries are on the market. The quality is excellent and the crop fairly large. Tree fruits will make small crops. "All classes of live stock are in good condition. "Farm labor plentiful and demand slow. "Melon crops have been transplanted under favorable conditions and are looking good."
