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

For the week ending April 10, 1911.
After a mild and pleasant but dry
winter the crop season of 1911 opens
with nearly normal conditions, except
that the subsoil is drier than usual,
there being an average deficiency of
2S2 inches of precipitation since Oct.
ODER l, 1910. March was dry and
warm, prior to the Goth, and much
blowing and seeding of spring wheat
was done between the 10th and 25th
Of that month. Since that time the
weather has been cold with frequent
rain and snow storms which have
prevented field work The first week
of April was abnormally cold and
stormy with heavy snow over the
northern half of the state; many sta
tions in the northern counties report
ing three to eleven inches of snowfall
and temperatures between and 10
degrees on the eth. Farm work is,
however, as far advanced as usual at
this time in the year, but ii is several
weeks later than last year. Nearly
all of the spring wheat and much of
the oats nave been sown, and some
ground has been plowed preparatory
to planting corn. Winter grains and
grasses are reported generally as be-
ing in good condition, and the late
rains have put the soil in fine filth.
All kinds of stock came through the
winter in good shape and farmers
have plenty Of feed left on hand. All
vegetation and especially fruit buds
have as yet remained nearly dormant
and the prospects OF fruit crop are
at present very promising. The acre
age OF spring wheat has been increas-
ed over that of last year, but the acre
age Of oats and other grains will
probably be about the same. The
week closes with indications of warm.
Ell weather.
