Iowa Crop Bulletin.
Condition In State AS Cleaned BY
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

Des Moines, June 15.-1he temper
AZURE was below the normal for the
week, with an excess of rainfall over
the larger part of the state and a de-
cided deficiency of sunshine. During
the first three days af the week show
ers We're general and in a few local.
tiles very heavy and damaging. Bot.
tom lands were flooded and In places
where the rainfall was the heaviest
hillside land We're badly washed. II
the rain continues few days longer
some of the acreage intended for corn
will have to be abandoned and used
for some later crop. Field work was
practically impossible until Friday
and then only in the most favored
localities. AS result weeds and grass
are getting a good start and many
fields are foul. But in spite of the
adverse conditions and the lack or
cultivation, corn on uplands and we'll
drained ground, comprising the larger
percentage of the corn acreage, shows
good stand, has a good color and is
growing rapidly. The soil is still in
fine condition and with few days OF
favorable weather the fields would be
cleaned and the condition of the crop
decidedly improved. All reports in
dictate that grass, small grain, pota-
toes and garden truck have made
rapid growth and give promise OF
abundant yields.
The special reports for Mahaska
and surrounding counties are:
Mahaska (Oskaloosa)-Ra 229;
some ground intended for corn had to
be abandoned on account OF wet wealth
er; grass and grain doing nicely.
Marion (Pella)-kain 1.79; field
work at a standstill; crops doing well,
however, and fields that have been
cultivated are remarkably clean.
Washington Washington - Rain
326; rain has interfered with corn
blowing, so that weeds are getting a
start, but the stand was never better.
Poweshiek (Hartwick) Rain 200;
week very wet; corn blowing pro-
crossing slowly and fields very weedy;
stand on sod generally quite light with
some loss on low land; hay and grain
making rank growth. (Grinnell-

drowned out; first picking of early
strawberries begun; early peas In
blossom.
| Jasper (NewtOn)-R III rain has
hindered field work; growth of all
crops fair to good; work in the fielas
being pushed; general crop prospects
good. (Monroe)-Only one day of
| field work; nearly all corn getting
grassy.
