gi eater percentage of inciease during
July in the combined condition of all
crops than any other state
Corn The crop was benefited in
all sections by timely rainfall except
m the southwestern counties In this
-potion it has been cut short materi-
ally by the continued drouth since
the early part of July The eastern
southeastern southern and central
counties report prospect for corn
well above the average for this time
of the year
Cotton Heavy boll weevil damage
continues in the eastern southeastern
and southern counties Th£ extreme
southern counties have suffered the
heaviest 'damage' In this ' section
many fields are reported as total fail-
ures and others forecast yields of be-
tween 10 percent and 60 percent of a
normal crop In the southwestern
counties the crop has suffered from
the continued dry weather' and will
no doubt be cut considerably on this
account The extreme western and
the counties in the northern part of
the cotton producing regions of the
state continue to show the best con-
dition figure
Broom Corn With the exception
of scattered crops at vanous points
nnd a small acreage of late corn prin-
cipally in the Marlow section the har
vesting of broom corn in the Lindsay
district is practically over So far
the weather conditions have been
favorable and the offerings promise
to be comparatively free from rain
stains Much of the crop is ready
for market and the question of price
appears to be the only thing restiict-
