The Iowa weather and crop bulle-
tin for the week ending June 26 has
| just been issued as follows: Another
week of ideal corn weather has caus-
! ed a decided improvement In the con-
dition of that crop. The plants have
made an abnormally rapid growth;
1 the fields were never cleaner at this
time of the year and the soil is in the
/ very best physical condition to with
| stand the effects of dry weather. Some
/ OF the early planted corn, in south
be laid by during the coming week.
i The average temperature was about
4 degrees above the normal, and the
maximum temperatures were above
/ 80 degrees every day of the week.
There was also an excessive amount of
/ below the normal. In fact the pre-
cipitation was practically nil over a
large part of the state. There were
however, light and widely scattered
l showers over the central counties
during the last three days which
/ will be Of great benefit in the local
tiles where they occurred. All small
i grains are doing remarkably well but
Will soon need rain. PasturaSe and
early potatoes are showing the effect
of the drouthy conditions more than
any other crops. Glover hav harvest
has begun and some timothy has beer
cut in southern counties and the re
ports indicate a fairly good yield Of
the former, but the latter crop viii
be light in all parts of the state.
4 The tickets to the William Farmer
complimentary song recital have beer
placed at only fifty cents. This gives
everyone an opportunity to hear ar
unusual program rendered by an art
list who is rapidly winning information
al fame.
