May s is as follows:
Another extremely cold week has
beer added to the score of this abnor-
mally cool and dry season. The aver
age daily temperature Of the past
week was to Is degrees below the,
normal. Minimum temperatures Of Is
degrees were recorded at several sta

ries were quite general or the Sd. The

Iowa Fruit Prospects.
The Iowa fruit crop Of 1907 is likely
to be about what it was in 1903.
That is the judgment Of Hon. Wes-
ley Greene, secretary of the state hor-
ticultural society. He has sent letter
to the members Of the society embody-
ing this 1908 estimate:
1T will be two weeks yet" says Mr..
Greene, before the line OF bloom on
fruit trees will have passed northward
out of the state and frosts may occur
again within that time. The probable
tiles are that the fruit crop this year
will be similar to that OF 1908, should
the same conditions prevail during the
remainder Of the season"
Secretary Greene says that the con-
dition of Iowa fruit on May ! was as
follows:
Apples s5, pears 45;/. American
plums 81, Japanese plums 10, Domes-
tica pulms Is, cherries 25. peaches %,
grapes so, red4 raspberries SO. black
raspberries 63, blackberries u, cur
rants 73, gooseberries IS and straw
berries II per cent.
The condition on May 4, tho a
little colder (26 degrees).' says Mr..
Greene, "are not unlike those on April
80, 1903, when the mercury went down
to 20 at Des Moines and II at Larch-
wood. The line Of bloom at that
time was little in advance of where
it is now, yet the fruit was not all
killed that year, as the records show.
The following crop was gathered that
year:
Apples ~, pears 8, American plums
IA. Japanese plums 10, Domestica
p1ums II, cherries %, peaches 20,
