ideal WEATHER
BRINGS RESULTS
,owA,s GRAIN CROPS PROFIT BY
SUDDEN CHANGE IN ATMOS-
PHERlc CONDITIONS.

With the continuance of the present
weather conditions. Iowa's outlook for
q good crop Of the yellow grain is very
good. The weather conditions have
taken great change In the past few
weeks, much to the Joy Of the farmer,
who until recently feared for the corn
crop.
The change for the better in the
corn situation Is very welcome at this
time OF the season. With bad condi-
tons at the starting Of the crops the
farmers and spectators were quite
downhearted, but with the breaking
OF better weather conditions, every
one is more satisfied. During the
planting season the farmers had two
very serious obstacles to overcome:
first, the quality Of. the last years
seeds. and the weather. Everybody
knows that last years seeds were of
a poor quality. The unfavorable wealth
er conditions, keeping the farmers out
az the fields for weeks at time, was
one Of the greatest obstacles of the
farmers.
The first planting Of the season
brought little result and a second plant
was used in many places, while some
even used the third, as many OF the
grains never took root in large areas.
with the third planting the farmers
were taking the last chance of alarge
crop. and their chance seems not to-
be a bad step. Corn at present is near
ly half foot in height and doing very
nicely.
Ideal Corn Weather.
Ideal corn weather will make the
$1,000 ,o1,d Tho erro,,r6 &c in oycQ11ant
condition to grow corn, and is made
more beneficial .ty the warm weather.
The corn is becoming dry and an oc-
casional shower of rain in the latter,
part of this month and July would help
matters along. When the corn has
been properly cultivated in the latter
part of July, frequent rains will be
necessary to keep the ground moist
and let the corn get its full growth
and strength. During August frequent
rains are necessary and while In the
ripening season the weather condi-
tons must be nearly torrid.. Should
these conditions be granted by Old Sol
and the weather man. the crops will be
great and completely surprise the
spectators who saw the crop outlook
at the first Of the season.
Summarized, the crop situation is
something like this:
Corn greatly improved good in color
and showing rapid growth. The dry
weather has been favorable to cult
walton and the fields generally are
clean.
The intense heat has affected oats.
Glover looks promising, but timothy
meadows are rather light.
Potatoes are badly in need Of rain.
Pastures also are suffering from dry
weather

generally causing downward revis-
ion Of pre-harvest estimates; even in
countries where anticipated quantity
is Undertaking., complaints are num-
erous of deficient quality resulting
from lodged grain and storm delayed
harvests. The situation in France,
so unsatisfactory month ago, shows
little, if any improvement. In Italy
and ROmania actual threshlng results
seem to be modifying to some extent
the bounteOus aspect OF the fields, be-
fore harvest. The formerly excellent
prospects in Germany and Austria
Hungary have not been fully MAIN
tanned; and Russia crop, though
quantitatively much in doubt. is
known to have suffered seriously in
quality in many localities from the
oriental rains during harvest. In
contrast the less optimistic opinion re-
speeding the European crop, however,
may be noted decided veering
away from the extreme pessimism at
one time prevailing respecting the
spring wheat crop, OF Western Cana
da."
