IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DIES MONIES, low, May 81.

DES MOlNESb IOWA, May Il.
The week ending May 20 was some
what warmer than usual, the mean
temperature at the central station be-
ing AZ degrees above normal. The
rainfall was generally light and un-
equally distributed, amounting to but
little more than trace in the larger
part of the state.
Corn planting is now well advanced
in all districts, with prospect of early
completion under. favorable condi-
tions of soil to insure quick germina-
ton. Early planted fields show fairly
good stand, and cultivation is in pro-
gress in the southern and central dis
tricts. There are some complaints of
damage by wire and cut worms in
fields recently in grass, and some re-
planting will be necessary. Rain is
much needed in nearly all sections to
prevent material damage to oats, bar
ley and spring wheat, Several re-
ports indicate that the oat crop is
thin in stand, and likely to be below
average in yield. Grass is generally
doing fairly we'll, but rain is needed
to insure a good hay crop and main
tain full supply of pasturage.
Fruit has not been injured mater
tally by frosts. Some reports state
that apple, plum and berry trees did
not show usual amount of bloom land
the yield will be light.

DAMAGE BY FIRE.
II. c. KIIngman Building Has Close
Call.

The fire company was called out
about Ais Tuesday morning for a
conflagration in the Woodman hall
in the H. @. Klingman building OPP
posite the opera house on East First
avenue. Not very much damage was
done to the building but good sized
hole was burned in the floor and the
woodwork was slightly damaged.
The handsome new piano lately pur-
chased by the lodge stood close to the
place where the flames caught and
was totally ruined. It.is not known
how the fire started or exactly how
much damage was done. The build
ing and goods were entirely covered
by insurance and the loss Will not be
very serious.
The hall is used as a meeting place
by a number of lodges of the city.
There was a meeting of the Wood
men in the hall Monday evening and
it is thought that possibly the fire was
caused by lighted cigar being care
lessly thrown aside. The floor was
burned through near the southwest
corner of the lodge room and the cell
ing of the first story was damaged to
considerable extent. The damage
sustained by the lodge will be between
three and four hundred dollars which
is fully covered by insurance in the
Century" of Des Moines. The dam
age to the building is about three
hundred dollars and is held in the
owan & Hambleton Co.
There was excellent water pressure
and the fire company was enabled tt
make short work of the fire. Nigh
policemen discovered the fire anC
turned in the alarm.
