General Report of Favorable foudl*
tlonn for Drvelujiiag; liu-
mrnsr Crops,
OK LAHOMA CITY, May 2.—Partly
Cloudy weather, an increase in temper-
ature and sunshine, together with a
continuation of almost dally showers or
heavy rains caused most favorable con-
ditions for the rapid development of
the growing crops. The heavy locaJ
rains over the section were accompan-
ied by hail which cauaed only slight
damage, except at a few points.
Temperature ranged over the east-
*rn division from 89 degrees to 56 de
green; over the central division from
18 to 44 degrees; over the western di-
vision from 84 to 48 degrees. '
"Wheat is in a most excellent condi-
tion, continuing Its rapid growth, and
heading out over nearly nil the coun-
ties. Oats are mostly in a line condi-
tion and are making rapid growth. Bar
ley, rye. alfalfa and clover arc In fin*
condition and are advancing rapidly in
growth.
Grass growth, generally, has advanc-
ed rapidly, under the favoring condi-
tions and is looking well.
Early potatoes, both Irish and sweet
with garden vegetables made a vigor-
ous growth and are being cultivated.
Corn planting is still unfinished, lin-
ing delayed by the rains; the corn,
generally, is coming up with a poor
to fair stand, the cool night tempera
ture still acting injuriously upon its
growth; replanting and cultivation is
in general progress
Cotton planting i« nearing comple-
tion with early planted coming up: the
heavy rains acted injuriously; much
early cotton will be replanted; an in
creased acreage Is reported.
Pasture ge has continued to Improve,
and cattle are all on the range and are
In good condition. Fruit is mostly in
good condition, and aro very promising
strawberries and blackberries show a
very full bloom.
