THIRD CUTTING OF
ALFALFA EXCELLENT

Des Moines, Aug. "a. The weekly
bulletin of the Iowa weather and crop
service for the week ending August
%: ~ - IF :
The first two days were moderately
cool, but the remainder of the week
was no tand dry; the maximum tenn.
perature being above IS degrees on
four days, and the rainfall was prac-
tically nil except in tho extreme north
west and extreme southeast counties,
where few light showers occurred.
In the southern sections, where heavy
rains fell during the previous week,
late corn made rapid progress and
gives promise Of making fairly good
crop. In the central districts corn,
on light soil. has been damaged consid-
erably; but In most Of the area north
Of the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road the crop Is generally In good con.
dition. Rain, however, Is badly need.
ed In many sections. Threshing con-
tinues in the northern counties without
interruption and stacking and shock
threshing Is practically completed. The
third cutting Of alfalfa is being secur.
ed In excellent condition, but is much
lighter than the first and second cut
tings. A good, soaking rain Is needed
at once to insure corn and for pas
lures, meadows, potatoes, garden truck
apples and to prepare the soil for fall
blowing. Geo. M. Chapel director
