Das MOineS low

For the week ending Sept. 7th, 1913.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week was the hottest
ever before recorded in the state
during September. The daily maxi
mum temperatures were above 80
degrees in practically all sections,
and in the southern counties the
average maximum temperatures
ranged from 100 to 1913 degrees. The
sky was nearly cloudless and the
sunshine intense. There was no
rainfall except a few light showers
over the northern districts on Tues
day night. The intense heat, bright
sunshine and brisk winds have dried
the ground and all vegetation rapid
ly. Corn is being rushed toward ma
turity, and much of 1t In the south
ern part of the state is dry and dead
Corn binders have, however, been
at work during the entire week. The
drought and hot weather has also
been very damaging to late potatoes,
grass and fruit, and if rain does not
come soon the acreage of fall sown
grain will be materially reduced.
Potatoes are practically ruined in
many sections, pastures are dry and
brown, wells are failing and water
for stock is scarce in the southern
counties.
Following is summary of Sep
TENDER LIST, crop reports, as compar-
ed with the average of past years:
Corn, IS per cent. BY sections the
condition was as follows: Northern
three tiers of counties, IS per cent;
central, 80; southern So. With nor
NAL weather, more than SO per cent
of the corn will be beyond danger OF
injury by frost on September 18th,
and more than 80 per cent by the
end of the month. If the hot, dry
weather continues frost could do no
harm after the Goth. The average
condition of potatoes was placed at
Al per cent. Three-fourths of the
threshing has been done. The av-
erage yield of winter wheat is "a
bushels, spring wheat II; oats, 35;
barley, 25; rye, 10; timothy seed,
A. bushels per acre. The acreage
of timothy cut for seed is CT per
cent of the area cut last year.
The reports show that the state
will produce this year 70 per cent of
the 1909 apple crop. These estimates
indicate total yield for this year
of 4,739,2S0 bushels. This is de-
crease from the estimates of August
list of 100000 bushels. Estimates
also show that only $50 per cent of
this years yield will be marketable
or a total of 2,793,795 bushels of
marketable apples for the state. This
estimate is probably too high. The
six leading apple producing counties
of the state, Fremont, Mills, Potta-
Harrison, Page and Tay-
lor report an estimated production
of 932,S35 bushels for 1913. These
counties produced 1,S03,46
bushels in 1909. Of this years crop |
only SIS per cent or $4,000 bushels |
is estimated as marketable.
Unless rains come soon these es-
Inmates will be greatly reduced in
the next two weeks. Jonathan is
