Des Moines. June 16-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin. issued today,
says:
The average temperature and sun
shine have been below the normal dur
ing the past week in all parts of the
state, and the rainfall was below nor
NAL over the northeastern, and above
over the southwestern half of the
state. Showers occurred in some part
of the state every day during the week.
yet there was an average of four days
without rain, and work in the corn
fields was vigorously pushed. Most of
the early planted fields have been Gull
tivated once. and. in many localities, the
second cultivation is well advanced.
Considerable planting and replanting
was done in fields which had previous
ly been too wet Many fields in the
river bottoms and on fiat, undrained
land are still covered with water, or
are too wet to permit any work being
done, but for the state at large there
has been decided improvement in the
condition of our staple crop, altho there
will be a decrease in the anticipated
acreage, as many fields have been or
will be abandoned. The final acreage
will probably be about the same as
that of last year.
The cool weather was beneficial to
small grain, in preventing the develop
ment of rust, and those crops, to-
gether with grass and potatoes, are re-
ported to be in very thrifty condition.
Hay making is reported as having be-
gun in Iowa county, and some alfalfa
has been cut in Marion county.
