Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. l4.-The
temperature was slightly and the rain
fal! decidedly below the normal. ex-
cept over about twenty of the south
western counties where heavy rains
fell during Friday night and Saturday
morning; the amounts of rainfall in
that section ranged from one to nearly
six inches. Light to moderate showers
occurred over the central and north
western counties, but little or no rain
fell in the eastern districts. Owing to
moderate temperature, light wind We
locity. partly cloudy weather and scat
tered showers, corn has held its own
remarkably well. and over two-thirds
Of the state is still in good condition.
but rain would be beneficial in all Sec
tions. Over the northeastern and in
many localities in the central counties,
the crop has been materially damaged
by the drouth. There are many bar
rem stalks and the ears that have start
ed show poor development. The late
corn is also shooting slowly. In some
of the earliest planted fields the corn
is now in the roasting ear stage.
Thrashing is progressing rapidly under
favorable weather conditions, and re-
ports continue to Indicate very good
yields and excellent quality of all small
grains. There has been practically no
growth of grass in pastures and mead
ows and fall blowing is being retarded
on account Of lack of moisture. Pota-
toes and garden truck are suffering for
rain and stock water is getting low in
many sections.
