Special to Daily Herald.
Des Moines, May 26.-Continued wet
and cloudy weather during the past
week, with heavy local showers, fur
ther delayed corn planting and field
work. In the larger part of the state
the soil is thoroughly saturated with
moisture, and the low lands are COW
cred with water, but, wherever it has
been practicable, corn planting has
been vigorously pushed. In many sec
tions, planting is practically complet
ed, but, under the best of conditions as
to weather, It will be impossible to fin,
ish planting on low lands until after
June 1st. The uniform and moderate
ly high temperatures have aided
prompt termination, and all the early
planted corn is up and shows a good
stand. Cultivation has begun, but the
weeds are making rapid growth, and
the fields will soon be foul If the wet
weather continues. Potatoes, small
grain and grass are reported to be in
the best of condition, and large hay
crop is now assured. Many severe To-
cal wind and hail storms further in,
iured the fruit prospects.
