Weather Crop Bulletin

Des Moines, April % The
past week was, until Saturday,
unusually warm, and ali condi-
tions, except brisk to high
winds on Friday, were favorable
for farm work and the growth
of vegetation. The average
daily temperature was six de-
grees above the normal, and on
thursday and Friday the maxi
mum temperature readings
were considerably above 80 de-
grees in nearly all parts of the
state. There was practically
no rainfall until Saturday MORN
ing, and the amount of sunshine
was excessive. Under these
conditions farm work progress
ed rapidly, and the bulk Of the
small grain was seeded, a large
proportion of the early potato
crop was planted ana mucn
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 81 rubs
and some varieties Of trees
Winter wheat is reported 10 be
in good condition except in a
few southwestern counties
where some fields are spotted.
Showers and rapidly falling
temperature occurred on Satur-
day, with general rain or snow
on Saturday night, and the
week closes with indications of
frost and temperatures near or
below the freezing point Sun
day night.

WAGNER S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, April 11.-Argentine I'M
port corn news has become aggressive
and newspapers devote much atten-
ton TO this abnormal corn condition.
Argentine continues to press her corn
for sale and about 100000 engaged for
Chicago. Passenger steamers from
Argentine take % days to the United
States. Looks as if Argentina will
fill her contracts and ship all she has
sold and will sell to the east. This
news very seriously affects the bull po-
sitions in corn. II saps the buying gin
ger from a large proportion of the To-
cal crowd and robs the bulls of valu-
able sympathetic help. While the pri-
mary corn receipts have sunk to a
small total the southwest markets
lacked energy on Thursday and east
ern sales OF corn here were only S.
600. On the news about the only thing
the bulls can do is to force bulges and
September corn in q sale. Argentine
offers are so vigorous that without
doubt masses of corn are being pre-
pared at interior points to rush to Eu-
rope and the United States.
Wheat is framing for a series of
steady visible decreases. Declines are
very slow and the market should be
near April low points. Effects of the
April 8 frost will not be known for
sometime. Wagner reports on what
arrive at the rate of over 80 per day
and up to today they are excellent. On
this basis wheat is due TO lose its
bulges for few more days.
Packers are up against the hog cost.
II they can break the hogs tie provis-
ion list will sink. This seems impos-
sible and there are many signs of re-
sistence. Security news OF the week
is unfavorable and apart from the
chance of a rail rate increase the
question of maintenance and improve
nent cost promises to be a perE,anen I
railroad burden.
Over 100 crop reports arrived this 1
What condition very high. I
but farm work is steadily delayed. Sow /
enty per cent OF the grain belts are Z /
% u days behind. Looks as if the /
-ush to catch up will mean small re-
.eipts.
