Poor Crop Weather Signals Slow Growth Across Regions
The Weather Bureau weekly crop report notes mixed conditions across the country. Warm spells and early fronts gave uneven results with rains hindering germination in the South Atlantic and East Gulf, while the Pacific Northwest stayed cool and cloudy. Corn planting slows, winter wheat deteriorates in central and western districts but improves in the east, and rust and blight affect multiple states.
