Condition In State AS Cleaned BY
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

4 Des Moines, Aug. 10.-Clear, warm
/ days, moderately warm nights and no
rainfall, except light scattered show
ers i'll the western districts, were the
special features of the past week The
rainfall was abnormally light over the
most OF the state; the only sections
receiving anywhere near the normal
amount being the west central and
northwest counties. Haying and har-
vesting are practically finished and
| stacking and shock threshing Is pro-
crossing rapidly. Threshers reports
continue to show good yield and
quality of winter wheat and oats of
| good quality and fair yield. Late oats
are generally better than the early
varieties. Corn has made good pro-
gress but is needing rain especially in
the eastern districts. II Is caring
nicely and many of the early planted
fields are nearly up to the roasting
ear stage. Pastures, late potatoes and
garden truck are beginning to show
the effect of dry weather, and will de-
teriorate very rapidly unless a good
rain comes soon. Fall blowing has
begun in few localities and indica-
tons are now favorable for large
increase in the acreage of winter
wheat. Reports vary as to the condi-
ton of fruit, but apples are falling
badly and grapes are rotting in many
localities.
Following is a summary of reports
received from crop correspondents of
the Iowa Weather and Crop Service,
showing the estimated condition of
the staple crops August i, 1909, as
compared with the average condition
on that date in past years: The condi-
ton of corn has improved materially
during July over the larger part of
the state, but there has been cor
responding decrease over large Sec
tons of the southern counties, due to
the excessive rains during the first
ten days of July, so that the average
for the state at large Is 81 per cent;
spring wheat, 90; oats, 80; barley. 81:
flax, 80; hay crop, 1915; pastures,
1902; potatoes, 92; apples, 65; and
grapes, 80.
The condition on August 1, 1908,
was: Corn, SO per cent; spring wheat
80; oats, IS; fax, 80; barley, "a; hay
crop, 1914; pastures, 1902; potatoes, SO;
apples, AS; grapes. 49,
