IOWA CROP SERVICE
REVIEW OF THE WEEK BY d.
RECTOR OF WEATHER BUREAU.

For the week ending May %, 1917
The weather was ideal for growth OF
vegetation and for field work up to
Sunday afternoon when general rains
set in with much lower temperature.
There were, however, damaging wind,
hail and electrical storms over the
northeast and north central districts
on the night of the 18th, which did
some damage to crops and property.
The temperature was much higher,
with maxima up to or near 80 on two
or three days. Under such favorable
conditions all vegetation made very
rapid growth and field work was
rushed. About 20 to rs per cent of
a greatly increased corn acreage has
been planted, and the early planted
corn is up and shows a good stand
Considerable blowing for corn is yet
TO be done, especially on bottom
ground. Winter wheat Is stooling
nicely and all small grain, grass, pota-
toes and garden truck made material
improvement, and will be still further
benefited BY the copious to heavy rains
at the close Of the week, although the
cool weather will check the rapid
growth. Apples, cherries. plums and
Strawberries are still promising, but
cane fruits and grapes will be short.
An increased acreage of sugar beets
is reported from some of the north
CENTRAL counties. ~
