Crop Bulletin.
Des Moines, July I, 1902

LIES MOlneS, July Z, l9O2.
The first half of the past week was
cool and cloudy; the last half was
much warmer with drying winds, and
much more favorable for crops and
field work on we'll drained lands. The
rainfall was variable, ranging from
less than an inch to over 500 inches,
about two-thirds OF the state receiv-
Ing very much .above the normal
amount, and extensive areas on the
Cedar river and other streams have
been flooded, causing damage to crops
that cannot at this time be estimated
10 general the crop situation has
been improved in the larger part OF
the state by the few days of dry
weather aud sunshine. The condition
OF corn is unusually variable as to size
and amount of cultivation; but proba-
bly, three-fourths of the planted area
is fairly clean and up to normal stan
dard.
Spring wheat in sections where the
acreage is largest has been doing we'll,
with moderate damage by rust. Oats
badly lodged in the central valleys,
but the state average is nearly up to
the normal, and the output depends
wholly upon seasonable weather in the
near future.
The potato crop is very promising,
though there are some reports OF
damage from excessive moisture.
