IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.
For the week ending Sept. "A, 1913.

For the week ending Sept. IA, 1913.
Des Moines, Iowa.
A marked change in temperature
occurred on the 9Th, and the past
week was cool and pleasant. The av.
erage temperature was, however,
slightly above the normal, although
light frost was observed in many To-
calities on Friday and Saturday morn
ings. Copious to heavy rains fell in
all parts of the state, except the ex-
IRENE southeastern and northwestern
counties, on Wednesday night and
Thursday. Pastures have revived
and show considerable improvement,
but the rains came too late to be Of
benefit to corn or late potatoes ex-
cept in a few localities where the po-
tato vines we're still green. The
rains were, however, sufficient to ia
cilitate blowing in many sections, but
not enough to be OF material benefit
to the water supply. The excessive
ly hot, dry weather during the first
seven days of the month hurried corn
to premature death and stopped the
filling process that usually occurs
during all of September and part of
October. and as a result the crop will
be lighter than was indicated on Sep
TENDER LIST. Much corn was cut and
many silos were filed during the
week.
