CHERRY CROP HURT;
APPLES GOOD THOUGH


Des Moines. May 19.-Weekly bulle-ss
tin Of the Iowa weather and crop SER
vice for the week ending May II, 1872
The first five days of the week were
much warmer than usual for the time
of the year, but the last two days were
cold. Frost was general on the mo1n-s
ing Of the 18th and freezing tempera-s
lures occurred in many parts Of thea
state. The rainfall was genera sys
light and poorly distributed, the soui srs
western counties receiving none, while
northern Hardin and southern. Kos-sa
suth counties received more than am
inch. The frost on the 9th and prOb-
ably the one on the 18th did much
damage to garden truck, and in some
localities to fruit. The frost, together
with high winds on Saturday and sun
day, caused cherries to drop badly
and in most sections the crop will be ]
light. Apples are apparently in good
condition. Field work progressed
rapidly and about rs per cent Of the
corn is planted. Much Of the early
planted is up and shows a good stand.
Oats begin to show the need OF moiS.
ture in the southern counties and ifa
rain does not come soon all grain Will
have tendency to head short In
other sections of the state grain and
grass are in good condition, but rain
would be beneficial-Geo. M. CrappeL
