The Iowa weather crop bulletin
for the week ending June IA, has just
been issued as follows: The condi-
lions during the past week were un.
usually favorable for the growth OF
vegetation. The average tempera.
ture was about degrees above the
normal and all parts OF the state re-
ceived copious to heavy rains. Most
tco much rain has fallen in the north
ern and western districts, and as re-
suit field work has been delayed and
small grain is getting too rank. How
ever, in the south central and south
eastern districts, where droughty con-
diticns have prevailed during the past
month, the rains will be Of great help
to all crops except hay, which Will be
light Corn has made phenomenal
growth and, in some localities, will
average knee high. Oats are heading
in all sections, and in the southern
counties are filling well, although the
straw will be short. In the northern
and western counties some oats we're
lodged even before they began head
ing. Much clover and alfalfa hay was
put up during the week.
