Des Moines, May 19.-The weekly
weather and crop bureau says:
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 morn
ing of the 18th and freezing tempera-
lures occurred in many parts OF the
state. The rainfall was generally light
and poorly distributed, the southwest
ern counties receiving none. while
northern Hardin and southern kos
suth counties received more than an
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 condi-
ton.
Field work progressed rapidly and
about IS 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 moisture in the
southern counties and if rain does not
come soon all grain will have ten
dency to head short. In other sections
of the state grain and grass are in good
condition, but rain would be beneficial
