Weather Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending April 20,

For the week ending April 20, 1908.
-Des Moines, Iowa.-The conditions
during the past week have been un-
usually favorable for farm work and
the growth and development of vegeta-
tion, there being an excess of tempera
ture and suns hine, and sufficient mois-
ture for present needs. The tempera-
ture was above normal in all sections
of the state; the average daily excess
ranging from three degrees in the
southeastern to about ten degrees in
the northwestern counties. Freezing
temperature was, however, general on
the morning of the 10th, but owing to
a dry atmosphere and brisk winds, no
f.ost was observed and no damage was
done. Practically clear weather pre-
vailed except on the 17th, when showers
occurred in all sections except Appa-
nose county. The rainfall was below
the normal, and was extremely light
in eastern, southern and southwestern
districts, but over the upper two-thirds
of the Des Moines River valley and
the extreme northwestern counties the
amounts ranged from so to 1.50 inch.
Farm work has progressed rapidly
under such favorable conditions, and
the seeding of small grain is about
completed except in the extreme north
ern counties, and a large acreage has
been plowed for corn. Oats are up in
southern districts and show fairly
good stand. Winter grains and clover
are in excellent condition, and the
prospects for fruit crops were never
batter. Reports indicate that stock is
generally in poor condition in northern
counties where winter feed was scarce,
and that there will be an average num-
ber of spring pigs.

Some Fine Horses.

Four very fine stations are located
at the DR.. Button stables and they are
receiving much admiration from farm
ers, horsemen and all lovers of good
horseflesh. They are the property of
A. B. Holbert, the big horse importer
of Greeley, Iowa, and are in charge of
A. c. Campbell.
The gem of the lot is a big Belgian,
not yet three years old, weighing 2O25
lbs yesterday morning. A big three
year-old Shire imported from England
also comes in for big share of admir-
alton from many who favor this breed,
and it is rumored that a prominent
horse breeder of this vicinity is think
ing strongly of buying this horse. The
other two horses are French Percher-
ons, one of which, three-year-old, is
a beauty with an extra fine back and
massive quarters. He is only three
years old and will make very large
horse when fully developed.
The horses are all for sale, but un-
less disposed of to parties in this vi.
cinity will be kept here for service
throughout the season.
