J. Surratt says that June} drought continued up to July 20 wit N.'D., Aug 10—Ac* exception of a few spotted rains most-) ly in the eastern part of the state. Moderate temperatures alone prevent- ed a near failute in the western half of the state ,especially.the northwest- ern counties. July rainfall while nor- mal dr nearly so except in north cen- tral counties was either normal or nearly so except in north central and come Cenus: cOunties — was. eltner largely or wholly ‘recorded after July 20. These favorable heavy rains were too late to’ “materially help bulk of rye crop, but the recovery of all spring sown crops especially late crops has exceeded all earlier expectations. In avgeneral way crop conditions taper! from normal ‘or near norau in eastern counties to about half crop in north- western and a slightly better prospect im southwestern counties. There is spotted grasshopper. dainage in limit- ei sections mostly west of tW€ Mis- souri river. Numerous farmers are in- dustriously combatting this pest with considerable success. Damuge is often severe locally but it probably will not seriously affect state production. Lo- cal hail storms were unusually severe gxent in adjacent i ns at the time this report was ta-| ken were directly opposite of a month; ago, in that on June 10 with exception | - of winter rye all\crops “ere showing a daily decline, while ox July 1 all} crops with the exception of winter rye were showing a substantial daily im- provement. A continuation of, present ideal filling’as well as gtowing weath- er will warrant considering this state report rather conservative by the time it reachas readers’ hands, Wheat Prospect. ~The above conditions are especially true of wheat, oats and barley, which sho wan excellent fill.

State“quality is inclined to- be! below average due to part af| ~ the crop showing more or less shrunk- en kernels. Harvest was general at the close of July with yields quite ob ten disappointing.
