IOWA CROP PROSPECTS.

DUBUQUE. July 16. 1879.
The Times to-day prints special dispatches from
forty-one different points in Northern Iowa upon the
condition of the crops. The chinch bug and excess
sive heat have done considerable injury to spring
wheat. but it has generally outgrown further harm
from these The damage done by grasshop-
pers in Northwestern Iowa has been overestimated.
Winter wheat what little there is OF 1t, is of excel
lent quality, and spring wheat nearly an average
crop. Barley, oats and flax are good. Corn was
never so forward and promising at this date The
weather is growing more favorable for unripened
wheat.
