Tho weather crop bulletin for
Iowa for the week ending June 80 Is
as follows: The past week was very
warm and unusually dry; the only
rainfall reported being few local and
generally light showers In the south
western and southeastern counties on
one Gay. The high temperatures and
bright sunshine have been favorable
for the rapid advancement of corn
and curing clover hay. Corn has made
very rapid growth, but 1t is still I'M
even in height Some OF it has been
laid by, and all Of the fields are clean.
Some OF the late planted corn Is be-
ginning to show the effect OF the dry
weather, but II rain comes within the
next week or ten days It will continue
to make good progress. Early corn
is in fine condition; the root system
being sufficiently developed to reach
moist soil. The dry weather has also
been generally favorable for small
grain in checking the development Of
rust and smut. and stiffening the
straw. thereby lessening the POSSIBLE
ity of lodging. Oats and other small
grains have headed in all parts of the
state, and are filling well. Rye, fall
wheat and early oats are beginning to
ripen IN the southern counties and
with favorable conditions the harvest
will begin during the coming week.
Considerable clover and some timothy
hay were put UP in fine condition, and
haying will be general in few days.
While all crops are still in good con-
dition, late potatoes, late planted corn,
pastures, garden truck and fruit would
be benefited by rain
