Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending April u, 1914.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The winter Of 1924, was the
warmest winter of record and was,
with four exceptions, the driest win
ter since 1890. The average tenn
perature for the five months, Novem-
Der to March inclusive, was only GA
degrees below the freezing point,
and there was less snowfall than for
any winter since statewide ObSerVa-
tons began. March was warmer and
drier than usual, but owing to wet,
inclement weather during the last de-
cade of the month and unusually
cold weather during the first eleven
days of April farm work has been de-
layed and fruit buds are still DOR
mant. Freezing temperatures were
general on four or five mornings of
the past week, and as a result but
little field work could be done. While
the sub-soil is dry, the recent rains
and SHOWS have been sufficient to
thoroughly moisten the surface and
the ground is in excellent condition
for blowing and seeding as soon as
warmer weather prevails. Fall sown
grains and clovers suffered but little
damage from winter killing, due to
the fact that although the winter
was mild the temperature was uni
formly moderately cool. There are,
however, some fields in the extreme
southern counties that appear to be
spotted, and the Hessian fly is re-
ported to have caused to 10 per
cent damage to the crop in Scott
county, but the condition for the
state as a whole is at least per cent
better than it was last year. Owing
to the continued cold weather the
seeding Of oats has but fairly begun.
The bulk of the spring wheat seeding
is finished, and the acreage will be
somewhat greater than last year. But
little has been done in the way of
gardening and only few potatoes
have been planted. Grass appears to
be in good condition, but has barely
started to grow. All live stock came
through the winter in a thrifty con-
dition and there is sufficient feed
and roughage left to last until new
pasturage is obtainable. The spring
pig crop is fairly good considering
the great loss of breeding stock last
season from cholera. TheSweek closes
with clear weather and much higher
temperature, and if these conditions.
continue all farm operations will be
rushed during the coming week. Up
to the present time the prospects are
favorable for bountiful crop year.

half as much as last year in half a
year. 1t appears further that as yet
not quite half of the membership
dues has been paid in and only a
few thank offerings have been held
There is then an excellent prospect
for forging ahead Of our record of
last year, especially as several of the
thank offerings held this year have
resulted in larger offerings than in
the same auXiliaries year ago.

The record for the largest number
of tithers is held by Osceola with six
while Murray has five Russell has

Osceola and Murray having 25 each.
van Vert leads however in the pro-
portionate use having just 66 Is per
cent of the membership using mite
boxes while Blockton has a percent
age of 81 9th and Murray of Ga

Report of Corresponding Secretary Of
the Charlton District w. +. NJ. 5.

The Womans Foreign Missionary
Society of the Charlton district con-
sists of 2 auxiliaries, 6 Standard
Bearers organizations and 9 of the
Kings Herald societies, while two
societies of the Little Light Bearers
are established. 1t is not possible to
report with exact accuracy as to the
membership of these various organi-
cations, but as nearly as your CORE
spending secretary can formulate
them, the figures are these: Members
of auxiliaries b63; members of the
Standard Bearers 1853; members of
Kings Heralds 200; members of the
Little Light Bearers IS. AS compar-
ed with the figures of last year the
results are: Auxiliaries, the same
number; membership, increase of so;
Standard Bearers, same number We
are not able to state comparisons as
to Kings Heralds and Little Light
Bearers.
At present there are 1S9 subscrib-
ers for the Woman's Missionary
Friend, a gain of 10, and 16S sub
scribers for the Christian Missionary
Friend, an increase of 1O1. Last
years figures show IS tithers and
the use of 119 mite boxes, while this
years somewhat incomplete reports
indicate 81 tithers among our women
and 1874 mite boxes in USE In our
auxiliaries 100 study books have
been used this year, and 20S of the
study leaflets. The proportion of
study books to membership is one
book to 5 IL members.
