Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, July II. Though
the maximum temperatures on the 10th
were up to or near the century mark,
the mean temperature of the past
week was about 2 degrees below the
seasonable average. The rainfall
was decidedly below the normal al
though heavy showers occurred in the
northwestern, the extreme east central
and southeastern counties, and light to
moderate showers were reported from
all other sections except the northeast
ern counties where the drouth has been
the most severe. With the exception
of the northeastern counties the ram
fall has been sufficient to keep up the
rapid growth of corn but not enough to
interfere with the hay and small grain
harvest nor for pastures and potatoes
except in the localities where the
heavy showers occurred. Early corn
is beginning to tassel and practically
all of the late corn has been laid by
with the fields clean and the soil in fine
filth. Haying and small grain harvest
are progressing rapidly under ideal
weather conditions and thrashing has
begun in southern districts. Winter
wheat, early oats and barley are prac-
tically in shock and late oats and spring
wheat are nearly ready to cut. The
quality of hay is excellent, but the
yield is light although meadows that
were not pastured in the spring are
producing more than was. anticipated.
No returns have been received from
thrashers, but fair to good yields OF
small grain are indicated generally.
Pastures and potatoes need rain badly.
Stock water is getting low in many
Localities.
