Des Moines,. Iowa. Il
The week brought ideal conditions
for progress nfarm work, and for the
growth of vegetation. The temperature
was above the normal, the average
daily excess ranging from two to eight
degrees. There was but little more
than a trace of rainfall during gbhe
working days of the week, and Satur-
day evening light showers were re-
ported in various localities in the wes-
tern and northwestern counties. While
there is abundant moisture in the soil
for present needs. a moderate amount
of rainfall would be beneficial to pre-
vent an encrusted surface and to pro-
mote termination of seeds and plants
Reports show that small grain is
coming up fairly we'll, with but little
complaint of defective seed. Excellent
progress has been made in blowing sod
and preparing fall-plowed fields for
corn. A beginning has been made in
planting corn in the extreme southern
counties: and with continuance of
warm weather planters will be started
in all districts very near the first of
May. Grass is starting fairly we'll,
and pastures will be in condition to
support stock about as early as usual.
Foliage has made rapid growth, and
fruit trees are coming into bloom with
fine prospects.
