Weather Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, June IL, 1901.
The past week was about all that
could be desired as to temperature, which
was about the normal except in the
upper Missouri valley. The rainfall was
unequally distributed, but nearly all
districts received some benefit from
showers at beginning or close Of the week.
At numerous stations the amount was
heavy and ample for present needs. All
reports indicate marked Improvement in
the condition and color of corn, which
has been we'll cultivated and is fairly
promising, though smaller than usual
at the middle of June. Oats, barley and
spring wheat have been improved, and
in some localities are heading out; but
all small grain crops are somewhat below
the average in condition. Pastures are
improved, and meadows received benefit
from the rains; but the hay crop will
generally be below an average. The
clover harvest is in progress in some
localities, and the yield will be fairly
good. Strawberries are being picked,
and the yield is quite variable. The
apple crop is much below an average.

]. w. Richey who moved from Leon
to the Charles Flint farm about six miles

misfortune to lose all three work horses
during the thunder storm week before

had no insurance. The three head were
worth close to $3.50.
