Crop Bulletin

for the week ending July IL, 1904.
Des Moins, Iowa.-This has been
cool, wet and cloudy week. The daily
average deficiency in temperature was
about 5 degrees. In all parts Of the
state showers were frequent, and the
fields were zoo wet for farming opera
tions four or five days. With haying
and harvesting at hand, and the corn
crop needing more cultivation, this
hinderance to field work caused some
anxiety and depression. The crop out
look however, is materially brighter
than at the corresponding date in 1902
and 1903.
The corn crop in the southern and
central section has made fair progress
more than half being laid by in good
condition. In the northern districts
there is need OF considerable more
cultivation, and a smaller percentage
has been laid by. The cool weather
has been favorable for small grain
generally. Oats, spring wheat and
barley have not suffered ma terial DAM
age as yet from rust .or lodging, and
these crops give promise OF an average
yield OF good grain. The meadows and
pastures have been materially improv-
ed. Potatoes are very thrifty. Ap-
les are Still promising.
