SOME LOCAL DAMAGE.
Rain Was Of inestimable Value to

State at Large.
Des Moines. Ia, July 1S.-The low,
section of the government weatle,
bureau has issued the following state.
inent for the week ending July l6:
The week ending at S a. m. of TIL,
l6,l, was generally fair and dry dur
ing the six working days, atfording
favorable conditions for haying and
harvesting operations in all sections
And the time WAS we'll improved. In
the southern section having is abou,
completed. and harvesting small grain
is we'll advanced.
Returns of early ,hreshing in that
section indicate better yield than
had been expected. In the central
and northern sections harvesting is
we'll begun and grain is maturing rap
idly. promising fair to good yield. The
chief drawback is that grain of heavy
growth is badly lodged; hut loss from
that cause will not be large.
Many of the earlier reports eN-
pressed fears of injury to corn and
other immature crops from effects of
dry weather. But these approximations
have been happily dispelled by copious
showers that fell in nearly every coun-
ty OH the l4th and 18th. The showers
generally fell moderately, and the
moisture was nearly all absorbed by
the soil; but our observer at Pringhar
reports total of 1885 inches. and at
the station near Alta the amount is
reported TO be $50 inches.
While some local damage may result
from excess. these showers have been
of inestilnable value to the state at
large The condition of the corn crop
is still Very promising. more than sus-
tanning the estimates of Jny l.
