The Iowa weather crop bulletin
for the week ending July 26 has just
been issued as follows: High tenn
peratures, bright sunshine and gener-
ally dry weather prevailed during the
last seven days. TIE average tenn
perature was about five degrees above
the normal, and the daily maximum
readings were above 100 degrees en-
two Or three days, in the southern dis
tricts. Showers occurred in nearly all

rainfall were light, except in few
localities of small area. The drouth
has been injurious to pastures, pota-
toes and spring seeded clover and
timothy, and las damaged corn to
some extent in the southern counties.
but even there it is not beyond re-
demption for an average yield. AS
q whole the crop is still in good condi-
ton, but would be benefited by rain,
and the late-pIanted fields must have
rain soon to insure good caring. The
small grain harvest is practically
completed and threshing is we'll ad-
vanced in central and nearing compile
ton in many localities in southern dis
tricts. The yield of grain is variable, |
ranging from fair to good. Wheat !
ranges from twenty to thirty bushels |
per acre; barley sixteen to twenty
five, and oats from twenty to forty
five bushels. A reliable estimate of !
the average yields cannot now be CIV |
en- on account OF the limited number OF |
reports received. The storm of the |
fifteenth blew off many apples in |
Page and Fremont counties. Water for |
stock is very scarce in southern dis
tricts.
