Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending May "a, 1914.
.r.-.. Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week was warmer than
usual. with slight deficiency of sum
shine. The daily excess of tempera-
ture ranged from one to four degrees.
The rainfall was, up to the time most
of the reports were mailed, consider.
ably less than the normal, but the few
telegraphic reports. received Sunday
indicate that copious to heavy showers
were quite general Saturday night.
The conditions were favorable for field
work. The bulk of the corn has been
planted, and the late planted is germi-
mating quickly under the effects Of
warmer weather. The stand is good,
but cut and wire worms are doing con-
siderable damage in southern counties.
The area planted appears to be fully
up to and may prove to be in excess of
last years acreage. Small grain is
generally in good condition, but was
beginning to show the effect of lack of
moisture in many localities, especially
in southern districts. A few reports
indicate that the Hessian fly is still
active in winter wheat, and that some
fields have been plowed up on account
of the damage done by the fly. Hay,
grass and potatoes are doing we'll, but
need more rain. In some sections hay
has a tendency to head short, due to
lack of moisture. Tree fruits, except
apples, give promise of good yields.
