Des Moines. April 24.-The second
crop bulletin OF the season. issued for
the week ending April %. was issued
today.
The third week in April was colder
than usual, the average daily deficiency
in temperature being about s degrees.
Freezing temperature was rported from
the larger part of the state on several
mornings, and one Of the heaviest April
snowstorms on record in this state oc-
Cured over the southern and eastern
counties on the 18th. Several stations
reported from seven to eight inches OF
snowfall, but crops and fruit were not
far enough advanced to receive dam
age from the snow or freezing temper
ature.
The heavy showers on the afternoon
and night OF the goth, gave an excess
of precipitation for the week. Farming
operations we're somewhat retarded in
the counties where the snowfall was
heaviest. but in the larger part OF the
state fair progress has been made In
seeding and blowing, with the soil IN
fine working condition. Seeding OF
small grain is nearly finished in north
ern and western counties. but In the
eastern and southeastern counties only
about IS to so per cent Of that work
has been done.
Late reports show that there was
more fall wheat winter killed in south
ern and eastern sections than was In
dicated last week. Many fields are
spotted and some of them will be
plowed up and replanted to other crops
but for the state as whole, fall-Sown
grains are in fine condition. Grass Is
starting nicely, and In some localities
stock Is in pasture.
