Eastern cotton region sees faster picking. Texas reports variable cotton. Tobacco mostly secured aside from a small late crop in Maryland Virginia and Tennessee. Soil conditions east of the Rockies are favorable for plowing and seeding except Minnesota. Fall sown grain germinated quickly and stands improving.
