Crop Bulletin
For week ending Aug. Is 1904.

For week ending Aug. Is 1904.
Des Noines, Iowa.-The week has
been very favorable for all growing
crops, and for stacking or threshing
small grain. The we'll distributed
showers on 9Th and 9th were timely
and beneficial to corn, pastures, late
potatoes and other minor crops The
latter part of the week was bright and
warm, affording ideal conditions for
the growth Of corn, which has made
very good progress. This crop on the
average is in promising condition,
being more heavily cared than usual,
and showing dark green color from
tassels to roots. With normally
warm and frostless September the crop
will be full average. More than the
usual amount of oats and barley will
be stacked. Threshing returns Of
these cereals indicate fair. yield and
quality. Good progress has been made
In putting up wild hay, which is gen.
orally heavy. Reports show no ma
terial damage to the apple crop. More
rain is needed for all unripened crops
and to facilitate fall blowing.
