HOW THE CROPS ARE. Slight Damage Results from Storms and Occasional Frosts. Following is the weather crop bulletin issued by- the Weather Bureau: Temperature—The week was warmer than usual in New England, over the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, the plateau regions, and on the North Pacific coast. The excess o f temperature amounted to from 2 to 4 degrees in New England and from 3 to 9 degrees in the Rocky Mountain regions, where the week was exceptionally warm. In the upper Mississippi A alley, gion, and along the immediat^RW^^o^ coast nearly normal temperature prevailed, while over the region from the Central Mississippi and Ohio Valleys southward to the Gulf the week was decidedly cooler than usual, the deficiencies in temperature amounting to from 3 to 6 degrees. The seasonal temperature from March. 1 is normal, or slightly above, along the L^rthern border from the Red River Valley eastward to the Atlantic coast and thence southward to North Carolina. It was also normal or above in the vicinity of San Antonio, Texas, Santa Fe, N. M., and Olympia, AV ash. Elsewhere over the country the seasonable temperatures are below the normal, the most marked deficiencies occurring in the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys. Frosts have occurred throughout the upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, and in New England have caused some slight injury to corn, which is now being generally cut. If favorable conditions continue corn will be safe in from ten days to two weeks. Cotton picking continues general, except in Tennessee, wheie it has not yet begun, and the picking of the early crop has been completed in Georgia. The week has been generally favorable for farm work and much plowing and seeding has been done. Precipitation—With the exception of a slight fall of rain along the North California and South Oregon coasts and a light sprinkle in Northeast Oregon, no rain fell during the week over the region from the Mississippi River to the Pacific coast. Over the greater part of the country east of the Mississippi there was more than the* usual amount of rain, and from the lower lake region southward to the east Gulf coast the excess amounted to from one to three inches, being greatest in Southeast Tennessee and Alabama and on the East Florida coast. In Southern Virginia the weekly rainfall was slightly below the average. The seasonal rainfall from March 1 is in excess of the average in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys, in the lower lake region, portions of Nexy England and the Middle Atlantic States, and in Central and Eastern Texas ’he greatest excess occurring in the upper Mississippi valley.
