Weather Bulletin.
Des Moines, May, % 1898.

DCo AhoIICS, Nhus ~ 1000.
The past week was warmer than usual
with large excess of rainfall and gen.
eral deficiency of sunshine.
All sections were abundantly watered
while in portions of the southern, south
eastern and eastern districts the amount
of rainfall was very heavy and detri-
mental to farming interests. The south
east district appears to have suffered
most in this respect, the soil being sat,
urated throughout the season. The
station at Keokuk reports an excess of
nine inches of precipitation since Janu-
airy 1st. Under such conditions field
work has been greatly retarded in that
section.
But probably three fourths of the state
has not as yet received an excess of
moisture. In many localities some
detriment resulted from heavy showers
which washed the soil considerably in
fields recently planted.
In all sections corn planting was some
what retarded by the frequent showers;
but in the northern and central districts
the work is nearly completed. Reports
indicate that the seed is good and ger,
mination is quite satisfactory In early
planted fields the stand is promising
and cutivat on is in progress.
The wet weather has been generally
favorable for grass, wheat, oats, rye and
barley.
Fruit prospects are good.
