THE DWACROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Direct
or of Weather Bureau.

Des Moines, May %. - For week
ending May 81: Copious rains over
the larger part of the state on the
14th, followed by four days of abnor-
mally warm weather, with light to
heavy and fairly well distributed
showers on the last three days OF the
week, have caused rapid growth OF all
vegetation. The average tempera-
ture was 10 to Is degrees above the
normal, and the rainfall, though gen
orally deficient, was ample for pres
ent needs except over the northwest:
ern counties where the rainfall has
been light for several weeks. Corn
planting is nearly finished and many
of the early planted fields are being
cultivated. The stand of corn is eX-
cellent, and replanting will not be
necessary except on sod ground
where cut and wire worms are very
active and have already caused con-
siderable damage. Grass and small
grains improved during the week.
owing to the deficiency of moisture
the timothy hay crop Will be hght.
Glover is, however, reported to be in
good condition. Rye is heading and
winter wheat is beginning to joint.
Oats are generally in excellent condi-
ton, and potatoes, garden truck and
fruit are doing well, although there
is some complaint that cherries and
plums are not setting well.
