Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending June Is, 1913.
..- Des Moines, Iowa.
With the exception Of light, local
showers over the northern half Of the
state on Friday night or Saturday, the
week was dry and generally clear. The
temperatures were however very low
during the first four days and light
frosts occurred in many localities on
one or more nights. While the wealth
er was too cool for corn and garden
truck all conditions were favorable for
field work and the cultivation Of corn
has progressed rapidly. About all the
early planted fields have been plowed
once and many of them twice. The
acreage Of corn will be about the same
as last year. The cool dry weather has
been beneficial to small grain, most Of
which Is heading nicely and is in f.. fine
condition. Considerable alfalfa has
been cut and put up without injury by
rain, and clover will soon be ready to
harvest. Haying will begin in the
southern counties during the coming
week with every indication of heavy
yields. Strawberries are beginning to
to ripen. but need rain to mature 4
q full crop. The week closes with
much warmer weather, and all indica-
tions are promising, but rain would be
acceptable to soften the ground.
