For the week ending Aug. l.

For the week ending Aug. 1.
Des Moines, Iowa
Though slightly cooler than
usual, the last week in July was
generally favorable for harvest
operations and normal advance
ment of immature crops. The
rainfall was light in four-ffths
of the state, and excessive in
small areas in the central and
northern sections.
Except in scattered localities
the weather conditions were ia
vorable for securing the bulk of
the hay crop in excellent con-
dition, and all reports indicate
that the quality is superior to
the output of recent years. The
oats harvest is practically COM
pleted except in the northern
counties, and threshing from
the shock is in progress. The
quality of the grain is up to the
average. The wheat harvest
is nearing completion, and nu-
merous reports are received of
serious damage by blight and
rust, which will materially less
en- the yield and impair the
quality of the grain. The bar
ley crop is fairly good.
Corn is making very good
progress in all parts of the state
the more advanced portion of
the crop being about normal in
size and caring heavily. The
potatoe crop is doing we'll, ex-
cept in a few localities where it
is affected by rot. The apple
crop maintains its early prom
Use, except where the fruit has
been blown off by high win4s.
