The following is the weather
and crop bulletin for Iowa for the
week ending August Goth: The past
week was characterized by extremely
high temperatures by day and
and warm nights, and the oppressive
conditions were intensified by a
high percentage Of humidity. The
rainfall was unusually variable in
amount, resulting from local showers.
The largest amount reported was
3G5 inches at Des Moines, most of
which fell on the morning of the l6.
On the evening Of the 10Th a heavy
downpour was reported at DEBORAH,
causing damaging foods. General
ly the rainfall was light, though in
the larger part of the state the
moisture in the soil is sufficient for
the present need of growing crops
For the corn crop it was the most
favorable week of the season, and
that great staple has made salts
factory progress toward maturity.
For the state at large the crop is as
well advanced as usual at the close
of the second decade in August. The
stand is above the average and the
stalks are heavily cared. Reports
indicate that in early planted fields
the ears are passing beyond the
roasting ear stage. Good progress
has been made in stacking and
tnreshing oats and wheat from the
shock. Fall blowing is in progress.
Early apples are being harvested,
and the yield is above the product
cf recent years. The minor crops
are doing we'll.
