Show WEEKLY WEATHER-CROP WEATHER-CROP SUMMARY During the past week there were light scattered showers in various parts of the State, which were of benefit locally, but were insufficient to break the prevailing drought. The earlier dry farm grain is heading and promising fairly well, but In some localities the later grain is suffering suf-fering from the drying weather. Ranges are also in need of rain. Beets, potatoes, alfalfa and all irrigated irri-gated crops made good progress during dur-ing the week. The second crop of alfalfa is starting well. Reports ! from the southern counties are I especially favorable, and all crops' there are in excellent condition. Cherries are ripening rapidly, and plums and apricots promise a full , crop. ! J.
