Climate and Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 4, 1899.
The past week was slightly
warmer than usual, the average
being reduced by cool nights; but
there we're four to five bright clear
days affording excellent conditions
for work in the fields and the ad-
vancement of all crops. Sac coun-
ty reported phenomenally heavy
rainfall on the 26th, and some
other northwestern counties re-
ceived more than the normal
amount; but in the bulk of the
state there was scarcely any hind
rance of work on account of wet
weather. In the southern section
the soil was becoming too dry, md
the showers on the End and 3rd
we're timely and beneficial.
The week was especially favor
able for oats, which had made
rank growth and is in danger OF
lodging. There are some reports
of damage by falling and rust, but
in the main this crop is standing
fairly we'll. Spring wheat and
barley are doing we'll.
Excellent progress has been
made in cultivating corn, and re-
ports as to this crop are generally
more cheerful in tone. A consid-
erable portion Of the early planted
corn will be laid by during the
first week in July. The corn fields
show all stages Of growth, from
early termination to waist high
and first appearance Of tassels.
On the whole the crop outlook ie
somewhat improved.
