The Crop Bulletin, for week ending
May 4, 1903, says: "The week was
excessively wet and cloudy and un
seasonably cold. The deficiency in
daily temperature ranged from 3 de-
grees at Keokuk, 6 degrees at Des
Moines and 10 degrees at Sioux City,
where the minimum was % degrees on
the Both. The lowest temperature re-
ported was II degrees at hardwood,
Lyon county. From all reports re-
ceived 1T appears that the northwes ct
district aud the counties on the Nilsson
ri slope suffered the brunt of the cold
wave on April 10Th to May g., The
snow fall was general, ranging from
half an zach to three inches. This
measurably protected grass, grain and
small fruit during the period of loves,
temperature, though 1t greatly RETARDED
field work. The soil is saturated ant
several warm and drying days will b,
required to put it in conditionfor plow
ing and planting, The reports indicate
much uncertainty as to the extent o
the damage to different kinds of fruit
The estimates range from 90 to IS pc
cent, though few reporters make an
definite figures on the loss. Unques
tionsbly the aggregate of injury will b
heaviest In the west and southwest
where the fruit had reached the tender
est stage. There has been great pre-
fusion of bloom and it may be hope
that the final output will exceed PREF
ent expectations.
