The Iowa weather report shows
hat the month of May was the
driest known in that state for more
than sixteen years. The rainfall
was but one third Of normal, while
the heat was considerably in ex-
cess of the average. Considerable
alarm is expressed over the con-
dition of the crops. In view of
the conditions prevailing over a
very large area Of this country
farmers with grain on hand ought
to hold it if possible for better
prices. It does not seem possible
for wheat, for example, to go low
er. In fact the tendency of the
markets ought to be upward from
this time forward.
