CROPS RETARDED
BY The WEATHER
FIRST BULLETIN BY IOWA OBJ
SERVER SHOWS RESULT OF
THE DRouTH.

Des Moines, April IA DR.. George
M. Chapel, IOWA section director of
the weather and crop service of the
national weather bureau has is
sued the first Of the weekly bulletins
which will be sent out from his office
every Monday night throughout the
crop season. The bulletin is based on
reports received by DR.. Chapel from
every county in the state. The one Is
sued last night for the week which
ended Saturday night is as follows.
''The average daily temperature for
the state for the six months, October,
1908 to March, 1909, inclusive, was 1928
degrees or an average daily excess of
2.3 degrees. The mean temperature
was above the normal in all of the
months except October and March, the
month being is degrees. The average
total precipitation was 1924 inches
which is 1928 inches above the normal.
December and March were the only
months that had deficiency but the
snowfall for March was far In excess
of the normal for that month.
"The drouth which prevailed during
August and September Of last year
continued during the larger part If
October and prevented the seeding o:
as large an acreage of fall grains as
was anticipated. The drouth also
| caused uneven termination and pre-
vented the usual growth and the alter
mating freezing and thawing weather
during the winter months did consid-
cradle injury to the plants so that the
average condition of winter wheat IS
said to be below the average for this
time Of the year; but the spring
growth has not been sufficient to per-
NIT an accurate estimate of the con-
dition being made. This also applies
to clover which is reported as being
winter killed in many sections of the
state.
"The cold and stormy weather in
March has continued thus far in April
and has prevented the usual amount
of field work being done. There has,
however, been great deal of ground
plowed and good start has been
made in the southern counties, in
seeding oats and spring wheat, and
if the weather continues favorable,
this work will become general in all
| parts of the state, during the coming
week. The season is from ten days
| to. two weeks later than last year, but
the soil is In excellent filth with an
abundant supply of moisture SO that
the growth of all vegetation viii be
rapid with the advent of warm wealth
er. All fruit trees, except peaches are
reported to be in good condition and
the prospects are favorable for boun-
teous crops Of fruit. The cold wealth
er has retarded the development nf
the buds, thereby lessening the posi-
bility of injury by frost when the
trees are in blossom. Stock is gener-
ally in good condition, but the supply
of hay and rough feed is getting short
in many sections of the state"

AMERICAN HEN
BEST INCUBATOR
UNCLE SANS AGRICULTURAL Ex-
PERTs VlNDICATEs BARN
YARD QUEEN.

Washington, D. c., April 14--Uncle
Sam has indicated the hen. In a bull
letin Just issued by the Department of
Agriculture, as result of careful in
vestigation of the problem of hens
versus incubators," the hen comes off
with flying colors. Not only does the
hen hatch more eggs out of a given
setting, but the resulting chicks are
worth more.
Among the details and figures which
the department issued as a result of
the experiment station test are the
following:
From s7s eggs set, incubators
Matched 533 chicks, or sos per cent.
From 279 eggs set, hens Matched
PIG chicks, or 1873 per cent.
"The mortality of hen Matched chicks
brooded under hens was % per cent
and Of incubator chicks 49.2 per cent.
Hen Matched chicks made great
er gain in weight than incubator
chicks"
The bulletin also INDUCES in the fol-
lowing conclusion:
1T may be true in practice that the
incubator will hatch as many chicks on
the average as the sitting hen. because
the hen sometimes breaks eggs in the
nest and sometimes quits her job, two
things the incubator is not guilty Of
though occasionally the lamp will &c
out. the temperature will go wrong
and all the eggs will be spoiled"
