CROPS IN NEED OF RAIN.
Rapid Progress Made in Field Work.
Fruit Trees BIossoming.

Special to mes-Republican.
Des Moines, April 21.-The weekly
crop bulletin says:
The conditions have been excellent
for farm work, and rapid progress
was made toward the completion Of
seeding small grain and preparing
ground for corn. Light frost occurred
in many localities on the 18th. but
since that date the weather has been
unusually warm and dry. The early
sown grains are up and show a good
stand, and while grass is making a
fairly good growth. it needs a soaking
rain to insure hay crop. If the
weather continues warm, considerable
corn will be planted before the end Of
the month. Fruit trees are beginning
to blossom in the southern part of the
state. Much truck has been planted,
with the soil in both field and garden
in excellent condition.
