IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
Des Moines, August Is.

| les molnes, august rs.
The past week was warmer than
usual, with some excess of rainfall in
numerous localities. On the night
of the Esd some local damage result
ed from windstorms of considerable
severity. But little progress has been
made in threshing in the northern
and central sections, where consid-
cradle small grain yet remains in
shock, in damaged condition. II TIC
southern section grain is generally
threshed or in stack.
The corn corp is rapidly nearing
maturity, and in all sections early
planted fields are about ready for the
harvester, in a few localities cutting
was tn progress at the close of the
close of the week. All reports indi-
cate that, despite local damage by
wind and hail, it will exceed all re-
cords for the past ten to fifteen years.
The soil is generally in excellent
condition for blowing, and unusual
progress has been made in that line.
An abundance of fall pasturage is
now assured which will be very help
full in view of shortage of the hay
crop. A dry September will improve
the quality of all unharvested corps.
Fall apples are fairly abundant in the
northern and southern sections, but
the apple crop for the state at large
is unusually light, especially the late
fall and winter varieties.
