Des Moines, Aug 31-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin notes that
The week was unseasonably warm un-
til Saturday. when the weather became
much cooler. The minimum tempera-
lures Saturday night ranged from 40
10 80 degrees, but the average daily ex-
cess OF temperature for the week was
about degrees. Light frost was OBJ
served Sunday morning on low ground
over the northern half of the state. but
il IS not believed that much, if any,
damage was done The prevailing
Grou,hy conditions were relieved some
what by showers in nearly all parts OF
the state The amounts of rainfall
however, We're generally light except
over the east central counties where
they ranged from one 10 over -wo
inches. and from so 10 over one inch IN
the southwest district.
Corn IS doing as we'll as could be ax-
pecled under present conditions and
III many localities where showers have
prevailed. the crop is still up 10 the
average for this season of the year: but
where there has been little or no rain
many Of the fields are badly fired aud
in some sections the late planted corn
is beyond recovery. Early planted fields
are maturing rapidly, and, with con-
tinued warm and dry weather, so per
cent of the entire crop will be safe
from any damaging effects from frost
by Sept. 20. All OF the remainder that
can possibly mature. will need favor
able weather until Oct. l.
Fail blowing has been practically
suspended except in sections where
there have been copious showers. ana
pastures are dry and brown. The pros
promising and the second crop of
result in decrease in the yield of
clover seed as compared with last
year.
