Des Moines, April 21.-The weather
and crop bureau gives an interesting
review Of conditions for the week, as
follows:
/ The past week was, until Saturday
warm, and all conditions
except brisk to high winds on Friday
were favorable for farm work and the
growth OF vegetation. The average
daily temperature was six degrees
above the normal. and on Thursday
and Friday the maximum temperature
readings were considerably above Sc
degrees in nearly all parts of the state
There was practically no rainfall until
Saturday morning, and the amount OF
sunshine was excessive. Under these
conditions farm work progressed rap
idly. ard tho bulk Of the small grain
was seeded. a large proportion Of the
early potato crop was planted and
mqeh ground was plowed for corn.
The warm weather fastened the
growth of vegetation. and pasturage
will soon be sufficient for the support
Of stock. Fruit buds are swelling
and leaves are appearing on early
shrubs and some varieties Of trees
Winter wheat is reported to be in good
condition, except in a few southern and
southwestern counties where some
fields are spotted. Showers and rapid
ly-falling temperature occurred on
Saturday, with general rain or snow on
Saturday night and the week closed
with temperatures near or below the
freezing point Sunday night.
