Des Moines. Iowa. July 30.-The
Iowa section of the United States crop
service, stationed in this city, has
issued its official report on the condi-
ton of the corn crop in Iowa. 1t is
made up from the reports of 3O6 cor
respondents. With reference to corn
the report states:
The extent of the damage to the
corn crop cannot be determined until
the effects of the moisture and moder-
ate temperature are made apparent.
Reports were generally mailed on the
9th, before the drouth was broken,
and the estimates as to the amount of
damage are exceedingly variable, as
viewed from different standpoints.
General Condition Favorable.
Generally it may be said the con-
dition seems more favorable in the
northern than in the southern dis
tricts. Half an inch of rain fell at
EstherviIle during the night and
other points in the northern part of
Iowa. The condition. of corn is con-
siderably improved in that sc ction."
