CROP CONDITIONS IN IOWA.

The weekly crop report of the wealth
Ell bureau for Iowa is to the effect that
there is sufficient rainfall for present
needs; grass and small grains grow
ing vigorously, corn planting in pro-
gress, except in northern sections,
where soil is too wet; early planted
fields in southern sections show nor
NAL termination; horticultural report
shows good condition of apples, plums,
and cherries, but small fruit below
normal.
The report shows up very favorable,
all things considered. The vigorous
growth of grass is very cheering to
farmers. 1t will be noted that early
planted corn in southern Iowa shows
normal termination. This means that
the corn has sprouted as well as it has
in other years, indicating the best re-
suits.
1t should also be noted that the
ground was never in better condition,
in southern Iowa especially, than at
present. There has already been
enough rainfall to nurture the crops for
a considerable length of time After
that one may well rely upon the old
reliable Iowa climate to take care OF
its own.
