avowed object the dismemberment of the

What would non-Catholics, who believe
in revelation, think of the Catholic

NUMBER 52.
CHOP BULLETIN
fMned by the Signal Office at Washington*
The weather has been warmer than
usual in all the agricultural districts east
of the Rocky mountains. The excess of
the temperature over normal in the wheat
and corn regions of Ohio, Missouri the upper
Mississippi and the lower val¬
leys, ranged from fifty to seventy-five
degrees (a daily average of from about
six to eleven degrees above normal). the Id
the cotton regions, the excess of
temperature for the season ranges front
two hundred to three hundred degrees.
A slight rainfall during the week has
served to increase the deficiency already
existing in the Southern states, where the
rainfall since January 1st has been from
six to ten iuches less than the average
for the season. Generally, in the wheat
and corn regions of the North, the week
has been exceptionally favorable for
agricultural pursuits. Tbe dry, regions warm
weather continues in the cotton
east of the Mississippi, while rains west
of the Mississippi have been favorable to
the cotton crop. Although there is a large
deficiency in the rainfall in the cotton
region, the recent showers have improved
the condition of the crop in the lower
Mississippi valley, while the weather in
North and South Carolina and Southern
Virginia is reported as favorable for the
growth of the plant.
