Weather. Crop BulIetia.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 10, 1910
The weather during the past seven
days has been ideal for haying, har-
vesting, and laying by the remainder
of the corn crop; the general conditions
being somewhat more favorable than
during the previous week. The exces-
sive temperature was not Is great and
showers were more general although
the rainfall was very light over the
larger part Of the state, and practical
" nil over the eastern counties until
Saturday evening. Copious to heavy
and well distributed showers occurred
over the northwestern and north CEN
trail districts on the 9Th and again on
the 9Th, and reports Indicate much inn
provement in crop conditions in those
sections. While the drouth has con-
tinued over the larger part Of the state,
corn and small grain have inside con-
siderable advancement Small grain il
filling and ripening nicely except in Z
few localities where the drouth has
been of long duration. Corn has made
rapid growth and shows little or no
effect of dry weather. It has, how
ever, reached that stage Of develop
ment where it will require more mois-
ture to keep up its normal growth than
it has had in the past weeks. Good
progress has been made in haying and
the conditions have been favorable for
securing an excellent quality Of hay,
although the yield is below the average.
The bulk of the winter wheat ID in
shock and many fields of barley and
early oats have been cut. with pros
poets of fair to good yields and excel
lent quality of all small grain. Pota-
toes and pastures need rain badly.
