THE IOWA CROP REPORT
Review of the Past Week by Direct
or of Weather Bureau.
For the week ending Sept. II, 1911.

For the week ending Sept. II, 1911.
Des MOines, Iowa.
The conditions during the past
week were generally favorable for
pastures, blowing, fall seeding, ma
turing corn and all kinds of farm
work. The temperature was consid-
orably above, and the rainfall gener-
lilly below the normal, except over
the northwestern, least central and
southeastern counties where there
was an excess of moisture. All parts
of the state, except the southwestern
district, have, however, received CO
pious amounts of rainfall during the
past ten days and as result pastur-
age has made satisfactory advance
ment and late potatoes have improv-
ed considerably. The soil is general
!y in good condition and fall blowing
and seeding have progressed rapidly.
The work of cutting and shocking
corn for fodder and filling silos is
nearly completed, the amount report
ed cut, varying from 80 to 80 per
cent. The bulk of the corn is now
beyond danger of injury by an ordi.
nary frost and practically all of it
will be safe with another week of
warm weather. Some seed corn has
been gathered. A large crop of ap,
pies, plums and grapes is being har,
vested.
